The secret reason some cancer treatments stop working

Researchers have identified a molecule, SLAMF6, that weakens cancer-fighting T cells, hindering their effectiveness. By blocking this ‘brake’, researchers can enhance T cell responses against tumors in mice.

Scientists shut down cancer DNA repair to overcome drug resistance

Researchers have discovered that UNI418 can inhibit the DNA repair mechanism in cancer cells, enhancing the effectiveness of treatments. This strategy, especially when paired with a PARP inhibitor, shows promise in reversing drug resistance in challenging cancer cases.
