A new Harvard study published in Nature Metabolism reveals that animal-based fats such as lard, beef tallow, and butter can accelerate tumor growth and weaken immune function in obese mice, while plant-based fats like olive oil help preserve anti-tumor immunity—even without weight loss....

Adipose manipulation transplantation (AMT) is a novel approach to cancer treatment. By engineering adipocytes to outcompete tumors for nutrients, researchers have successfully suppressed cancer progression in various cancer models. This innovative technique has the potential to revolutionize cancer ...

A groundbreaking phase I trial published in Nature demonstrated the potential of autogene cevumeran, a personalized mRNA neoantigen vaccine, to induce durable immune responses and delay cancer recurrence in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a notoriously aggressive cancer. The v...

Discover how interleukin-27 (IL-27) is revolutionizing cancer immunotherapy in our latest video, "IL-27: The Game-Changer in Cancer Immunotherapy." This groundbreaking research published in Nature Medicine sheds light on IL-27's role in enhancing cytotoxic CD8+ T cells (CTLs) for effective...

A recent Nature Medicine study by Reiss et al. (2025) reported the first-in-human trial results of CT-0508, a novel CAR-macrophage (CAR-M) therapy targeting HER2-overexpressing solid tumors. This therapy leverages macrophages' natural ability to infiltrate tumors and remodel the tumor microenvironme...

A groundbreaking study published in Cell has identified interleukin-4 (IL-4) as a key driver of immunotherapy resistance in ovarian cancer. Using a novel spatial genomics technology called Perturb-map, researchers discovered that ovarian cancer cells produce IL-4, creating a protective microenvironm...

Recent research highlights Growth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF-15) as a critical factor in immune resistance during cancer therapy. While immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) like PD-1 and PD-L1 blockers have revolutionized cancer treatment, their effectiveness is limited, with many patients showin...
