A group of researchers led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) discovered that a cancer medicine that is currently on the market might be modified to target a subgroup of malignancies that are frequently linked with poor outcomes and lack focused therapy choices.
Sanford Burnham Prebys' recent study has contributed to the understanding of how melanoma circumvents the immune system and may help in the development of future treatments for the condition. A protein that is known to be active in immune cells is also active inside melanoma cells, the study
Scripps Scientists have discovered that analysing a certain type of immune cell in the blood can help identify people at risk of developing type 1 diabetes, a fatal autoimmune illness. If the new approach is verified in future research, it might be used to select potential people for treatme
What makes some people with an abrupt decline in kidney function develop renal disease while others get better? A recent study co-led by bioengineers at the University of California, San Diego, may provide a detailed insight at the level of individual cells into the underlying factors contri
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh have demonstrated for the first time how Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV), which causes an aggressive skin cancer known as Merkel cell carcinoma, begins DNA replication in host cells
Researchers at Gladstone Institutes' iPS Cell Research Centre discovered that tight connections between cells play an important role in gastrulation in human embryos. The study was published in Developmental Cell.
A new study conducted by Columbia University researchers explains why babies catch so many common respiratory illnesses and reveals a specialised cluster of immune cells present only in babies that help them cope with new pathogens.
According to a new Northwestern Medicine study published in Nature Communications, aerobic glycolysis, the process by which cells convert glucose into lactate, is essential for mammalian eye development.
Researchers have figured out how one particular sort of immune cell, which defends the body against disease and infection, originates in the body. Additionally, a recent study suggests that the discovery may aid in the creation of other preventative medicines.
Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have discovered a method for repairing damaged hearing cells. This important discovery might boost efforts to develop new and improved ways for the treatment and prevention of hearing loss.
