Feeling itchy? Study suggests novel way to treat inflammatory skin conditions
A new approach to treat rosacea and other inflammatory skin conditions could be on the horizon, according to a new study.
Tumors grow larger in female fruit flies than males: Here’s what that could mean for humans
A new study found that tumors grew 2.5 times larger in female fruit flies than males. With fruit flies sharing many genetic similarities and signaling pathways with humans, the finding could lead to better understanding of cancer development.
How this cancer drug could make radiation a slam dunk therapy
Radiation is one of the most effective ways to kill a tumor. But these therapies are indiscriminate, and they can damage healthy tissues.
‘Missing link’ between brain and body inflammatory signals identified in the skull
New research provides valuable insights into the brain-body immune connection identifying key communication hubs in the dural sinuses and skull bone marrow at the back of the head.
Fetal defense: Study reveals early immune protection in the womb
Research revealed that foetuses are not as defenceless as once thought; they can actually fight infections from within the womb. This new understanding could significantly change the way doctors protect foetuses from infections that lead to serious hea…
Unlocking worm strategies: A path to innovative vaccines and therapies
A research team has uncovered a molecular strategy employed by worm parasites (helminths) to evade host immune defenses. This discovery opens new avenues for the development of innovative vaccines and therapies. The study offers promising solutions for…
Molecular zip code draws killer T cells straight to brain tumors
Scientists have developed a ‘molecular GPS’ to guide immune cells into the brain and kill tumors without harming healthy tissue.
Innovative immunotherapy shows promise in early clinical trial for breast cancer
A groundbreaking phase one clinical trial explored a novel cell-based immunotherapy for breast cancer. The study focuses on a new treatment approach that aims to harness the body’s immune system to enhance patient responses and reduce the need for conv…
Changes in blood cell production over the lifetime could impact leukemia outcomes
The first comprehensive map of the dramatic changes that take place in the blood system over the course of the human lifetime could have implications for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia and other blood diseases.
