Cancer patients who do not react to immunotherapy lack crucial immune cell
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Immunotherapy has changed cancer treatment. Since the introduction of immunotherapy in 2011, the five-year survival rate in advanced melanoma, the most lethal form of skin cancer, has increased from less than 10% to more than 50%. Unfortunately, only approximately half of melanoma patients r

Pungent ginger compound puts immune cells on heightened alert: Research
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Ginger is known for activating the immune system. This argument is now supported by new findings from the Leibniz Center for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich. Little doses of a spicy ginger component heightened white blood cell alertness in laboratory testing. This

Artificial intelligence examines cell movement under microscope
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Analysis has historically been limited by the vast amount of data that may be collected by employing a microscope to record biological activities. Using artificial intelligence (AI), the University of Gothenburg researchers can now track the movement of cells throughout time and place. The t

Scientists identify protein that's crucial to tumor cells' metabolism
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Tumor cells typically alter their energy metabolism and increase glucose uptake to support their rapid division and spread. This limits glucose availability for immune cells and therefore dampens the body's anti-cancer immune response.

Study: Autism-related behavioural disorders associated to genetic changes
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Autism-related behavioural disorders are linked to a wide range of genetic changes. Scientists have discovered a new molecular cause for this illness. MYT1L, a transcription factor, generally protects nerve cells' molecular identity. When it is turned off genetically in human nerve cells or

Study discover neurological disease involving cellular recycling process
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
ATG4D assists in the autophagy process, which cells utilise to digest and recycle harmed proteins and other damaged parts of the cell to maintain health. Although all cells in the body use autophagy, neurons rely on it more than other cells do in order to survive. However, little is understo

Study reveals how natural killer immune cells can change tissue inflammati
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Researchers have discovered a previously unidentified function of "natural killer" (NK) immune cells, which has increased our understanding of how the immune system is controlled to prevent disease.

Researchers reveal therapeutic strategy to kill cancer cell
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Gene mutations are the cause of cancer. Tumor suppressors and oncogenes are the two main groups of these altered genes in cancer. Mutations in oncogenes can drive cell proliferation, pushing the gas pedal all the way to the floor, whereas mutations in tumour suppressor genes can cause tumour
