Advanced imaging method shows immune cell interactions in tumors to help predict patient outcomes
A growing cancer is shaped by more than just the tumor cells it contains; the tissue around a tumor also alters its biology. Now, researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) have combined advanced imaging techniques with a new computational method to p…
Researchers unveil method to map immune cell connections, predicting patient survival in cancer
Researchers combined advanced imaging techniques with a computational method to probe how immune cells interact with each other, revealing that the interactions between immune cells in the vicinity of breast cancer or melanoma can be used to predict im…
Study identifies how ovarian cancer protects itself, paves way for improved immunotherapy approach
Researchers have discovered a way that ovarian cancer tumors manipulate their environment to resist immunotherapy and identified a drug target that could overcome that resistance. The study used a cutting-edge spatial genomics technology and preclinica…
After a heart attack, the heart signals to the brain to increase sleep to promote healing
Study shows how the heart and brain interact to influence sleep patterns and help with recovery.
Complexity of tumors revealed in 3D
A new analysis has revealed detailed 3D maps of the internal structures of multiple tumor types. These cancer atlases reveal how different tumor cells — and the cells of a tumor’s surrounding environment — are organized, in 3D, and how that organizat…
Healthy brains suppress inappropriate immune responses
Researchers have found a process by which the brain guards against attack by the immune system. In mice with multiple sclerosis, such ‘guardian’ proteins that train the immune system were drastically depleted, and replenishing them improved symptoms, a…
Discovery illuminates how sleeping sickness parasite outsmarts immune response
A new study sheds light on how the blood-borne parasite that causes African sleeping sickness in humans and related diseases in cattle and other animals establishes long-term infections in hosts. Using a mouse model, the researchers showed that Trypano…
Researchers discover cancer mechanism that can eliminate tumors—even those resistant to immunotherapy
A technological breakthrough by medical researchers at Tel Aviv University enabled the discovery of a cancer mechanism that prevents the immune system from attacking tumors. The researchers were surprised to find that reversing this mechanism stimulate…
Immune system review provides insight into more effective biotechnology
Macrophage cells are the immune system’s frontline soldiers, early on the scene to protect the body from foreign invaders. These cells answer the immune system’s critical question for the rest of its troops: friend or foe?
