Study finds how lung cancer captures immune cell metabolism for its own g
Updated : 2 years, 1 month ago IST
Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for the majority of cancer-related fatalities in the US. There are various causes of lung adenocarcinoma, one of which is a mutation in a protein known as EGFR. Non-mutant EGFR stimulates cell proliferation in response to

Researchers discover way to prevent cognitive decline after radiation
Updated : 2 years, 2 months ago IST
The brain's immune cells, known as microglia, have been shown to cause cognitive abnormalities following radiation exposure. As such, microglia may be a crucial target for mitigating these symptoms, according to research from the University of Rochester's Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience

Immune cells connected with formation of lung before birth, help treat res
Updated : 2 years, 2 months ago IST
Researchers discovered that immune cells actively and closely guide the formation of human lung tissue throughout development, revolutionising our understanding of early lung development and the role of immune cells beyond immunity.

Study finds pathogens coerce immunity by using force
Updated : 2 years, 3 months ago IST
A study found that pathogens can use physical force to defeat a cell's defence mechanisms. The study found that pathogens can avoid being ingested by immune cells by exerting a "propulsive force."

Radiation treatment could be used to treat heart failure: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Cardiologists and radiation oncologists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis pioneered the use of radiation therapy, a cancer-fighting technique, to treat patients with ventricular tachycardia, a potentially fatal abnormal heartbeat.

Radiation therapy could be used to treat heart failure: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
The research team discovered that low-dose radiation therapy appears to enhance heart function in various forms of heart failure after analysing the cardiac effects of radiation in a small number of these individuals and modelling the effects of low-dose radiation in mice with heart failure.

Obinutuzumab trial yields promising outcomes in patients with lupus nephri
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Researchers discovered that obinutuzumab, an antibody that targets a protein expressed on certain immune cells, was superior to placebo in preserving kidney function and preventing flares in patients with lupus nephritis - a kidney condition associated with the autoimmune disease lupus.

Study reveals how cancer drug helps to restore immune system's ability to
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
A group led by scientists at The University of Texas at Austin has discovered a brand-new, bio-inspired medication that restores the capability of immune cells to combat cancer. The medication increases the effectiveness of immunotherapy and inhibits tumour growth in mice models of melanoma,

Senescent immune cells promote lung tumor growth: Study
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
Researchers detected senescent macrophages in the lung that not only remained but also supported tumour growth in a recent Cancer Cell study.

Research reveals senescent immune cells promote lung tumor growth
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
Macrophages are white blood cells that serve as the body's first line of defence against infection. Macrophages can launch a reaction against tumours in addition to destroying dangerous germs. However, macrophages, like other cells, can reach a state known as senescence, which is associated
