Antibiotics are the old medicine cabinet standby for treating infections caused by multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, but as antimicrobial resistance continues to mount globally, scientists say there’s a need for new strategies.
The gut contains the largest collection of immune cells in the body. New research at the Buck Institute shows that some of those immune cells travel along the brain/gut axis in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), providing a potential new therap…
UCLA researchers have developed a new kind of immunotherapy that uses specially engineered immune cells equipped with built-in weapons to attack kidney cancer tumors and reprogram their protective environment—all without the need to customize treatment…
Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in men. Most patients who are diagnosed during earlier stages usually respond well to treatment. In some, however, the disease progresses to an aggressive, lethal form.
A multi-institutional clinical trial conducted at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and 21 other U.S. sites found that a single administration of autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) cell therapy helped stabilize metastatic head …
A research team led by the Department of Medicine and the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, under the School of Clinical Medicine, LKS Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), has uncovered a serious risk of joint infectio…
People with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often have trouble getting out of bed in the morning, let alone getting to the rheumatologist for a checkup or participating in a research study. This makes a deeper understanding of the mysterious autoimmune disea…
