Tick infection affects various cell types in brain: Study
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Depending on whether the affected person's immune system is activated or not, the dreaded tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus infects different types of brain cells in different parts of the brain. This is demonstrated in a new study from Ume University in Sweden.

Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
According to new research, a biomarker signature can predict how well kidney cancer patients will respond to immunotherapy before treatment even starts. This biomarker signature is made up of the number of immune cells in and around kidney tumours, the volume of dead cancer tissue, and mutat

Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Isolated from other cells in a laboratory dish, tumour cells won't reveal their actual nature. Rice University researchers created an improved tumour model that houses osteosarcoma cells alongside immune cells known as macrophages inside a three-dimensional framework designed to simulate bon

Research suggests blood immune cells can proliferate
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
A cell's ability to multiply and divide is necessary for life, resulting in the evolution of complex creatures from a single cell. It also allows worn-out cells to be replaced by a small number of "stem" cells, which subsequently multiply and specialise. Yet, in cancer, cell growth is no lon
