EDITOR’S NOTE: The Nature Medicine study on timing of immunotherapy and survival of cancer patients was retracted by the journal on June 24, 2026. After an investigation into discrepancies identified ...

Why do some vaccines protect for a lifetime, while threats like tumors and viruses present such an ongoing challenge? The ...

A vitamin A byproduct has been found to quietly disarm the immune system, allowing tumors to evade attack and weakening cancer vaccines. Scientists have now developed a drug that shuts down this ...

We sometimes hear about the benefits of “boosting” our immune system, but what we really want to do is support our immune system on an ongoing basis. People often think of the immune system as ...

(CNN) — Researchers recently tried an experiment: Gather people who had the same kind of lung cancer and put them on the same type of treatments to fire up their immune systems. The only difference ...
