When the heart is injured, as in a myocardial infarction, the damaged heart muscle cannot regenerate—instead, scar tissue forms. Cardiomyocytes, the heart muscle cells that generate contractile force, are lost for good. Yet, in mouse models, the hearts…
By examining the immune modulations of tumors during the day, scientists from the University of Geneva and the LMU Munich are demonstrating their impact on the diagnosis and management of patients.
Compared with pre-surgical (neoadjuvant) chemotherapy alone, adding perioperative immunotherapy—given before and after surgery—significantly improved event-free survival (EFS) in patients with resectable early-stage non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC), a…
Published in Nature Aging, University of Minnesota Medical School researchers have provided new insight into enhancing immune responses in older individuals and the potential for using immunotherapy to make older adults less vulnerable to infections.
Regarded historically as genomic parasites, transposable elements (TEs) have now been recognized as significant contributors to cellular identity and function, especially in immune regulation.
Lung cancer remains a leading global health concern, responsible for the highest number of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Central to its development is the tumor microenvironment, which involves a complex interplay with immune cells such as neutrophi…
Immunotherapy has revolutionized the way we treat cancer in recent years. Instead of targeting the tumor itself, immunotherapies work by directing patients’ immune systems to attack their tumors more effectively. This has been especially effective in i…
You’ve likely heard that you can get iron from eating spinach and steak. You might also know that it’s an essential trace element that is a major component of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to all parts of …
A new study has revealed important insights into how SARS-CoV-2 and its variants escape the immune system. The findings pave the way for new therapeutic approaches against COVID-19.
New research published in Aging Cell provides insights into how exercise may help to prevent or slow cognitive decline during aging.
