Research: Enzyme that protects against viruses could fuel cancer evolution
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
An enzyme that defends human cells against viruses can help drive cancer evolution towards greater malignancy by causing myriad mutations in cancer cells, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine. The finding suggests that the enzyme may be a potential target for f

Researchers reveal how ammonia dysregulates T cell function
Updated : 3 years, 2 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.

Study unveils strategy to enhance immune response to viral infections
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
The immune system, including T cells, is known to be compromised by severe viral infections and cancer, a condition known as immunological 'exhaustion'. The development of novel medicines for cancer or severe viral infections has a major focus on overcoming immunological fatigue.

Evidence of autoimmunity's origins uncovered via new approach: Study
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
A study supports the idea that some T cells that react to microbes also may react to normal human proteins, causing autoimmune disease. The findings promise to accelerate efforts to improve diagnostic tools and treatments for autoimmune diseases.

Study: CAR T cell therapy reaches beyond cancer
Updated : 3 years, 3 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
