Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Anthracyclines are a class of chemotherapies effective in treating many forms of cancer, including leukemias, lymphomas and breast cancer. Anthracyclines -- such as doxorubicin, frequently used against breast cancer -- kill cancer cells by damaging their DNA.

Researchers reveal how ammonia dysregulates T cell function
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
According to new research, mice with colorectal cancer who have tumours with high levels of ammonia have fewer T cells and are less responsive to immunotherapy. Ammonia, which is crucial for anti-tumor immunity, has been demonstrated to impede the proliferation and operation of T cells.

Three-medicine combination therapy is beneficial in patients with high-ris
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
According to a new, phase 2 clinical trial led by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute doctors, a three-medicine combination that drove chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) patients into profound remissions in a clinical study is very beneficial in patients with high-risk variants of the disease.

Risk of lymphoma linked to breast implants: Study
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
The number of people suffering from Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL), a rare disease, has recently increased and this spike in numbers may be linked to the expanding popularity of textured breast implants.

Study explores how common immune cells might prevent intestinal healing
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Karolinska Institutet researchers have demonstrated that B lymphocytes, on which the efficient operation of the immune system depends, can occasionally cause more harm than good since their numbers sharply increase following intestinal trauma, impeding the healing process.

Study finds how wasteosomes indicate dysfunction of glymphatic system
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Wasteosomes, structures that act as storage facilities for waste products from the brain, are used to demonstrate the malfunction of the glymphatic system, a recently identified system that is a crucial brain-cleaning mechanism.

Study: CAR T cell therapy reaches beyond cancer
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
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

Discovery suggests new way to target mantle cell lymphoma
Updated : 3 years, 6 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

Study identifies mechanism otherwise found in metastasizing cancer cells
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 15 (ANI): Cancer cells use an unusual mechanism to migrate into new tissue and form metastases there. The same process probably also keeps some immune cells on their toes. According to the study, certain structures, the centrioles, increase in number. This makes it e
