Immunotherapy, or antibody treatment that activates the patient's own immune system against cancer, is increasingly being studied as an alternative to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This is because it directly targets cancer cells, reducing the negative effects associated with more conventi
Researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord injuries or diseases such as ALS.
Immunotherapy research primarily focuses on better recognition of cancer cells by the body's own immune system. Researchers at Amsterdam UMC and Moffitt Cancer Center have taken a different approach.
The Free Balochistan Movement (FBM) has vehemently denounced the extrajudicial murders of Baloch missing persons, labeling them as war crimes. The organization accused the Pakistani military of orchestrating fake encounters to eliminate abducted Baloch youth who had been held in torture cell
Scientists have found specialized neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to stop eating. Though many feeding circuits in the brain are known to play a role in monitoring food intake, scientists also believe that the neurons in those circuits do not make the final decision to ce
Researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a fundamental role in recognition memory. It means how the brain registers the difference between new and familiar objects and forms long-term memories. These are named Ovoid Cells. They are found in the hippocampus of mice, humans
New York [US]/ London [UK]/ Munich [Germany]/ New Delhi [India], February 11: Datar Cancer Genetics (DCG), a global leader in non-invasive cancer diagnostics, announces Dr. Massimo Cristofanilli as Strategic Advisor, reinforcing its commitment to advancing early cancer detection and precisio
Researchers from CCU and NCKU have discovered a new cancer signalling mechanism that enables pancreatic cancer cells to evade immune destruction and sustain tumour growth. The TIMP1-CD63 signalling pathway, along with DUSP2 deficiency, creates a self-perpetuating cycle that accelerates cance
Mitochondria are responsible for creating energy, which fuels cells and keeps them functioning. However, mitochondrial abnormalities have been linked to the development of disorders like type 2 diabetes. Patients with this illness are unable to produce enough insulin or use the insulin produ
Our biceps and brain cells might have more in common than we believed. According to a new study from the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab, a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmittin
The researchers have identified a rare type of immune cell, called stem-like T cells, that holds the key to maintaining powerful, long-term immune responses against cancer and other chronic infections.
Prolonged illnesses, such as cancer and persistent infections, can fatigue the immune system, causing its frontline defenders, T cells, to lose their ability to act efficiently.
