Trinity scientists make discovery on cancers and the immune system
Trinity scientists have discovered how certain cancers send a “wound-healing” message from tumour cells to hijack the immune system for their benefit, tricking it into helping rather than harming them. The immune system primarily protects us from infection, but cells of the immune system also play a key role in coordinating the repair of […]
Trinity researchers make breakthrough in oesophageal cancer treatment
Trinity researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery that could fight resistance to radiotherapy in cases of oesophageal cancer. The new discovery made by Dr Stephen Maher, Ussher Assistant Professor of Translational Oncology, and his team, which includes scientists from Trinity, St James’s Hospital, the Coombe Women and Infants University Hospital and the University of […]
Trinity scientists develop new option for targeted cancer therapy
Trinity scientists have discovered a new therapy that will target cancer cells with improved specificity than current options. The researchers have demonstrated that a class of naturally occurring enzymes, named glycosidases, are heavily overexpressed in tumour tissue and can be used to trigger the release of therapeutic payloads in the local tumour sites only.
