Cancer cells can poison attacking immune cells by filling them with defective mitochondria ― dampening the body’s defensive forces and helping the tumour to evade eradication 1. These findings ...
The new findings challenge this dogma, suggesting mitochondria are mobile—at least in cancers and the tumor-infiltrating immune cells working to fight them off. Analyzing both types of cells from ...
Danny R. Welch, a professor from the University of Kansas Cancer Center (USA), has said that their university researchers believe the role of mitochondria in determining the likelihood of cancer.
and that xeno-transplanted platelet mitochondria from an African American woman who suffered aggressive breast cancer at young age was able to recapitulate aggressiveness of breast cancer in mice. At ...
Findings indicate that altering glucose metabolism in T cells boosts their therapeutic potential against melanoma, paving the way for improved immunotherapies.
