The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) has released a position paper outlining the education, training, and experience needed to ensure the safe and effective delivery of radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT), a rapidly growing form …
Last year, researchers at the University of California, Riverside, developed a novel “molecular crowbar” strategy to degrade the oncogenic enzyme Pin1, a protein that is overexpressed in many tumors, including pancreatic cancer. They designed compounds…
One of humanity’s most ubiquitous infectious pathogens bears the blame for the chronic autoimmune condition called systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus), Stanford Medicine investigators and their colleagues have found.
Colorectal cancer precursor lesions are benign growths that can develop into colorectal cancer (CRC) over time, through either a conventional or serrated pathway. Understanding how the immune system reacts to these precursor lesions could further the u…
Cancer Center at Illinois (CCIL) Program Leader Erik Nelson’s lab made an important discovery about the relationship between cholesterol and breast cancer progression with crucial implications for breast cancer therapeutics.
A new study from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai helps explain why some people with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, stay in remission for many years after receiving CAR T cell therapy, while others see their cancer return sooner. …
The weeks leading up to a major surgery can be a time of uncertainty and worry for patients, many of whom anticipate the need for rehabilitation to get back on their feet. But if patients improve their physical and mental health prior to surgery, a pro…
As the immune system ages, it reacts more slowly to pathogens, vaccines become less effective, and the risk of cancer increases. At the same time, the immune system follows a 24-hour rhythm, as the number and activity of many immune cells fluctuate thr…
New research comparing four different flu vaccines found that the ability of the vaccines to activate cells of the immune system that help to protect against infection varied greatly depending on the vaccine type and age of the patient. Researchers say…
Researchers at the University of Southampton have identified a new subtype of lymphoma that could pave the way to improved and more targeted treatments for some blood cancer patients. The cancer scientists and biologists have also found that lymphoma c…
