According to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators, a typical gut bacterium that can spread through the body and cause a serious infection resists natural immune defences and antibiotics by enhancing its protective outer layer, known as the cell envelope.
Investigators have reported an experimental therapeutic cancer vaccine induced two distinct and desirable immune system responses that led to significant tumor regression in mice.
A urine or blood test can typically tell doctors if a patient has kidney damage. However, these tests can still miss the very early stages of nephron loss which signal the start of CKD.
To decipher these adverse effects, the researchers examined the animals' lungs at an intermediate stage - when tiny micro-metastases may have already developed, but even advanced imaging technologies like CT cannot detect them.
