Scientists armed bacteria with cancer-killing viruses that infiltrate tumors, evade immunity, and attack from within.

Cancer research has long looked at bacteria and viruses as separate tools for therapy. Now, researchers are showing that the two can actually work better together. A team of scientists has built a new system called CAPPSID, short for Coordinated Activity ...

Could a future vaccine against cancer be made better by an immune-boosting virus? Very likely, say Canadian scientists, who've proven its effectiveness in experiments on mice.

A genetically engineered herpes virus may offer a new and effective treatment for advanced melanoma, providing hope for patients who have exhausted other options.

In a preclinical study, UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center scientists developed a highly targeted gene therapy that could revolutionize treatment for cancers linked to a common herpesvirus, with minimal side effects. The novel approach treats Kaposi’s ...

One of the newest weapons that scientists have developed against cancer is a type of engineered immune cell known as CAR-NK (natural killer) cells. Similar to CAR-T cells, these cells can be programmed to attack cancer cells. MIT and Harvard Medical School ...
