Key characteristics of immune cells in ovarian cancer Tissue-resident memory T cells are important mediators of immune response Date: April 14, 2022 Source: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research ...

In this study, primary ovarian cancer tissue was used to generate 3D spheroids, containing both tumor cells and infiltrating immune cells. Before applying drug treatments, the researchers ...

A significant obstacle in treating ovarian cancer is the tumor microenvironment -- the complex ecosystem of cells, molecules and blood vessels that shields cancer cells from the immune system ...

Researchers at the University of Helsinki discovered how ovarian cancer hides from the body's immune system. The findings will help develop novel precision therapies for ovarian cancer ...

During metastasis, ovarian tumor cells break away from the original tumor site into the abdominal cavity, where immune cells called ... multiply to form tumor cell spheroids.

The studies suggest that when ovarian cancer spheroids settle on a mesothelial monolayer they forcibly push the mesothelial cells out from under them to facilitate cancer cell attachment to the ...

Stanford biologists found that ovarian cancer cells evade the immune system by signaling that they are part of a developing fetus, according to an August research study published in “Cell ...

Research has shed light on how a new type of antibody treatment reactivates patients' immune cells to fight ovarian cancer. The research, from the group of Professor Sophia Karagiannis at King's ...

New research led by Irish scientists has uncovered how lipid-rich fluid in the abdomen, known as ascites, plays a central role in weakening the body's immune response in advanced ovarian cancer.

The investigators will also explore the significance of ovarian cancer cells’ capacity to form cell clusters called spheroids, which travel through bodily fluids to reach new sites within the abdomen.
