Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a novel photoimmunotherapy technique that uses near-infrared light to activate a drug bound to an antibody targeting melanotransferrin (MTf), a protein found in melanoma and triple-negative breast cancer. These cancers are notoriously resistant to

Researchers at the University at Buffalo have developed a new breast imaging system that could dramatically improve cancer detection—without the discomfort of traditional mammograms. Called OneTouch-PAT, the system combines photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging with artificial intelligence to produce high-resolution 3D
Cancer treatment has long been a balancing act—target the tumor without harming healthy tissue, deliver drugs precisely, and somehow rally the immune system to keep the disease from coming back. Most therapies manage one or two of these goals, but
