Engineered immune cells, known as CAR T cells, have shown the world what personalized immunotherapies can do to fight blood cancers. Now, investigators have reported highly promising early results for CAR T therapy in a small set of patients with the autoimmune disease lupus. Penn Medicine C
The study found how people with electrolyte abnormalities were twice as likely to be diagnosed with an eating disorder. Those with severe irregularities were five times more likely to be diagnosed.
Excessive activity of a limited number of brain cells causes several brain illnesses, including epilepsy. These diseases frequently do not react well to drug treatment, owing to the fact that drug influence the entire brain. A recent study revealed gene therapy to for neurological disorder.
Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have developed a computational method to map the architecture of human tissues in unprecedented detail. Their approach promises to accelerate studies on organ-scale cellular interactions and could enable powerful new diagnostic strategies for a wide range o
Huntington's disease, a fatal, inherited neurodegenerative condition, is caused by a genetic error present at birth, though its symptoms often don't begin until middle adulthood. Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have been trying to understand how the ageing
Dementia encompasses a range of neurodegenerative conditions that lead to memory loss and cognitive deficiencies and affect some 55 million people worldwide. Yet despite its prevalence, there are few effective treatments, in part because scientists still don't understand how exactly dementia
The body's response to infection or inflammation is fever, which also serves as a defence mechanism against things like viruses and bacteria. The body releases molecules called cytokines into the bloodstream when it is infected or inflammatory. The blood-brain barrier, a system of microscopi
Singapore, October 19 (ANI): Researchers discovered that turning on stress response in cells at a post-reproductive age could be the key to slowing ageing and promoting longevity.
Augusta (Georgia) [US], October 18 (ANI): Researchers discovered that psoriasis is not an independent risk factor for heart attack in persons who also have an end-stage renal illness, which shares several risk variables with heart disease.
North Carolina [US], October 9 (ANI): Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine have made important strides in the exciting fields of cellular reprogramming and organ regeneration, and their findings could have a substantial impact on the development of future treatments for broken hearts.
