How immune cells deliver their deadly cargo When immune cells strike, precision is everything. New research reveals how natural killer and T cells orchestrate the release of toxic granules – microscopic packages that destroy virus-infected or cancerous cells. The study led by researchers from CeMM, St. Anna CCRI, MedUni Vienna, Med Uni Graz, the University […]

Neuroblastoma: New combination method reliably detects hidden tumor cells (Vienna, 04.09.2025) – Hidden tumor cells in the bone marrow are one of the greatest challenges in treating neuroblastoma, one of the most common childhood cancers. St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research Institute and international partner centers have achieved decisive progress in a new study: by combining three

Breakthrough in Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis Research: Stem Cell Model Paves the Way for New Therapies (Vienna, 16 December 2024) Scientists at St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research Institute (St. Anna CCRI) have achieved a milestone in the study of the rare and complex disease Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH). Using an innovative model based on induced pluripotent
(Vienna, 9.8.2023) Scientists at St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research Institute and the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen have shown that immunotherapy after stem cell transplantation effectively combats certain nerve tumors in children. Crucially, stem cells from a parent provide children with a new immune system that responds much better to immunotherapies. These results of an early clinical trial were published in the prestigious Journal of Clinical Oncology.
