Study provides new insights into opposite effects of RNase treatment
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Multiple organ inflammation is a hallmark of systemic autoimmune disorders, which can have disastrous effects on patients. Treatments for these disorders are desperately needed. In some clinical trials, RNase therapies appear promising, but not in all. The causes of this variability have bee

5-aminolevulinic acid may aid in the treatment of mitochondrial disorders
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers discovered that 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) aids in the bypass of deficiencies in Complex I (CI), the first of a series of protein complexes that transport electrons and help power the mitochondria. They discovered that when fruit flies lacking the

Study gives new insight into diagnosing ovarian cancer
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Research headed by Nagoya University in Japan discovered three previously unknown membrane proteins in ovarian cancer. The scientists captured the proteins using a novel technique comprised of nanowires with a polyketone coating, providing a new detection tool for ovarian cancer.

Researchers give more insight into T cell functions
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Researchers developed a tissue-imitating hydrogel model to show that more elastic tissues encourage T cells to develop into effector-like T cells with powerful tumor-killing potential, while more viscous tissues encourage them to develop into memory-like T cells

Study suggests new concept to understand T cell traits, functions
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
T cells encounter various mechanical cues in various tissues. In order to demonstrate that more elastic tissues encourage T cells to develop into effector-like T cells with potent tumor-killing potential, while more viscous tissues encourage them to develop into memory-like T cells, research

Popular steroids may mess up with several cancer therapies: Study
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Immunotherapy is a relatively new and successful cancer treatment. It causes the immune system to identify tumours as invaders and attack them. Immunotherapy, however, does not benefit all patients. Why? Scientists aren't always certain. Sometimes, immunotherapy patients experience side eff

Researchers suggest new approach to diagnose genetic muscle disease
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
It's tough to tell the difference between the dozens of varieties of limb girdle muscular dystrophy, an uncommon, genetic muscle disease characterised by weakness in the hips and shoulders that makes walking and lifting the arms difficult. Until date, defining the subtype was not crucial in
