MIT and Harvard scientists have created engineered CAR-NK cells that can hide from the immune system and more effectively destroy cancer. The cells are designed to suppress immune-rejection signals and enhance tumor-killing power.

Following on from their breakthrough human trial that successfully reprogrammed the immune system to overpower glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor, the same scientists have now further developed the mRNA vaccine to fight not one but any cancer.

There are vaccines you can get to prevent illness and medicine you can take to treat it. But in between, eating foods that boost immunity can help keep your immune system strong and functioning optimally. Indeed, food fuels your immune system by helping it ...

The award went to Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi for their discoveries around what’s known as peripheral immune tolerance, work that the Nobel committee touted as deepening our understanding of why autoimmune diseases do occur and enabling the development of potential treatments for those conditions as well as certain cancers.
