Immune-boosting drugs with antibiotics may reduce the health risks of fungal infections

Patients are more susceptible to fungal infections because the immune system in the gut is disrupted when patients are given antibiotics in the hospital.

Research shows how visible hotspots may be easy to target with immune-stimulating drugs

Many cancers include genetic “hotspots,” or sections of DNA that are subject to mutation. For example, a mutation in the TP53 gene is found in more than 50% of all cancers, generally within a narrow DNA range.

Scientist reveals the impact of mitochondria in metastatic prostate cancer

Prostate cancer that has spread to other regions of the body is commonly treated with hormone treatment, but many individuals develop resistance to it, making their disease more aggressive and potentially fatal.

Scientists detect rare genetic signs of drug-resistant tuberculosis with the aim to stop disease progression

Many people believe tuberculosis (TB) is a disease of the past. Nonetheless, it claims over a million lives each year. Furthermore, the problem is escalating as Mycobacterium tuberculosis—the pathogen that causes tuberculosis develops resistance to the antibiotics used to treat the disease.

Researchers highlight a phage-antibiotic combo against antibiotic-resistant superbug

A preclinical study performed by Monash University researchers discovered that utilizing a combination of phages and antibiotics to treat bacterial infections may be considerably more successful than using the drugs separately.

Study reveals advance in cell biology may lead to effective cancer therapy technique

According to researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a protein called CDC7, which has long been assumed to play an important role in cell division, may be replaced by another protein called CDK1.

Study shows how G protein-coupled receptors signal helps drug development

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), membrane proteins that are the target of one-third of approved drugs, are being studied by scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Columbia University/New York State Psychiatric Institute.

Study shows the role of mucosal-associated invariant T cell in mucosal melanomas patients

Many cancer patients have benefited from the development of anti-cancer immunotherapy drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors, but patients with mucosal melanomas—melanomas that occur in the mucous membranes of the head, neck, eyes, respiratory system, and genitourinary region rather than on the skin—are highly resistive to immune checkpoint inhibitors for reasons researchers do not fully understand.

Scientists determine drug-resistant mold that infects human lungs

According to a recent study conducted by Imperial College London, drug-resistant mold is disseminated from the environment and affects the lungs of those who are susceptible.
