Discovery suggests new way to target mantle cell lymphoma
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
A form of blood cancer known as mantle cell lymphoma is critically dependent on a protein that coordinates gene expression, such that blocking its activity with an experimental drug dramatically slows the growth of this lymphoma in preclinical tests, according to a study from Weill Cornell M

A 'memory' of HIV infection stays in cells: Study
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Even though antiretroviral therapy has made HIV a manageable disease, people living with it often suffer from chronic inflammation. This can put them at an increased risk of developing comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease and neurocognitive dysfunction, impacting the longevity and qu

Study suggests protein plays a key role in immunotherapy
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
The study found protein is crucial in helping malignancies avoid immune attacks. The "fragile X mental retardation protein" (FMRP) is a protein that controls a network of genes and cells in the tumor microenvironment that help the tumor "hidden" from immune cells.

Study finds common mechanism tumours use to suppress immune responses
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has revealed a single protein expressed at high levels by cancer cells across a broad range of malignancies that erects a multifaceted barrier to anti-cancer immune responses in mouse models of cancer and so shields tumours from immune detection and destruction

Research: Enzymes could be key to understanding how DNA mutates
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Enzymes, which are crucial to controlling how cells replicate in the human body, could be the very ingredient that encourages DNA to spontaneously mutate - causing potentially permanent genetic errors, according to new research from the University of Surrey.

Researchers develop promising new cancer therapy
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Immune checkpoint inhibitors such as Keytruda and Opdivo work by unleashing the immune system's T cells to attack tumour cells. Their introduction a decade ago marked a major advance in cancer therapy, but only 10 per cent to 30 per cent of treated patients experience long-term improvement.
