    Antibody May Stop Growth of TNBC Cells

    03/03/2026 | 22 mins.
    Secreted frizzled-related protein 2 is a protein that helps cancers grow by supporting the formation of new blood vessels, stopping cancer cells from dying, and weakening immune cells that should recognize and attack cancer cells. Dr. Nancy Klauber-DeMore is developing an antibody that blocks this protein. Early research suggests the antibody may halt the growth of triple-negative breast cancer.

    Listen to the episode to hear Dr. Klauber-DeMore explain:

    what secreted frizzled-related protein 2 does and why she thought blocking it might help treat breast cancer

    why she’s focusing her work on triple-negative breast cancer

    the next steps for the antibody she and her team have developed

    Supercharging Cancer Vaccines

    17/02/2026 | 30 mins.
    Twenty years ago, seven people diagnosed with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer received a cancer vaccine as part of a clinical trial. Today, they’re all still alive. This prompted Zachary Hartman to study the immune systems of the people in the trial to see what was happening. He found that the women had immune cells that continue to recognize the cancer and keep it under control. Now his goal is to make that vaccine even more effective and make it work on other types of breast cancer.

    Listen to the episode to hear Dr. Hartman explain:

    how the original study was done

    how he’s working to make the vaccine even more effective

    how the vaccine might be modified to work on hormone receptor-positive and triple-negative breast cancer
