Providing cancer immunotherapies with a boost could reduce cancer recurrence
Researchers reveal drugs inhibiting Neuropilin-1 (NRP1), a protein expressed on T cells, could improve the efficacy of immunotherapies.

T-cell regulator SLAMF6 may be hindering immunotherapy success
A new study conducted in Israel suggests that T cells’ ability to destroy skin cancer increases in the absence of T-cell regulators called SLAMF6.

Research into CDK8 oncogene could improve design of future therapeutics
A study has shown that type II kinase inhibitors targeting CDK8 alone are ineffective because mutations leave them inactive, suggesting future therapies should target CDK8 in complex.
news
DIRC3 tumour suppressor could be a new target for melanoma therapies
A study has shown that long non-coding RNA called DIRC3 can block melanoma growth and could be used to identify new targets for skin cancer therapies.
news
New route identified for tackling drug resistance in skin cancer cells
A new therapeutic route for combatting treatment-resistant cancer has been identified with the discovery that melanoma cells fight anti-cancer drugs by changing their internal skeleton.
news
Fungi library could aid in the search for medical drugs
A library of products derived from more than 10,000 fungi has been established which could lead to the discovery of new drugs.
