Nanobodies — miniature proteins derived from camel antibodies — demonstrated powerful potential to accurately and safely deliver radioisotopes as specialized cancer treatments in a project at ORNL. The unusual antibodies were first observed in 1989 by Belgian researchers studying the immune system of camelids — animals such as camels, alpacas […]

Research published in Science Advances has uncovered new insights into why the most aggressive oesophageal cancers are so difficult to treat and how the body’s own defence systems are helping them to thrive. The study, led by Professor Eileen Parkes and her team in the Department of Oncology at the University of Oxford, analysed patient-donated tumour […]

University of Queensland researchers who mapped cancer cell ‘neighbourhoods’ in the most common type of lung cancer have found cell metabolism plays a critical role in determining how lung cancer patients will respond to immunotherapy. Associate Professor Arutha Kulasinghe from UQ’s Frazer Institute said machine learning algorithms and computational approaches […]
