Stress-Linked Gut Viruses May Help Tumors Evade the Immune System
June 25, 2026
Chronic psychological stress can help tumors evade immune attack through a chain of molecular events involving gut bacteria and viruses within those bacteria, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
T Cells Secrete DNA to Boost the Immune System’s Cancer-Fighting Ability
April 30, 2026
Activated immune cells secrete tiny capsules bearing DNA that can enter other immune and tumor cells to stimulate the body’s defense systems, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine.
