Discovery may offer a promising new path for the study of multiple sclerosis

A surprising discovery may offer a promising new direction in the study of multiple sclerosis and other diseases of hypomyelination – when axons of neurons are not covered sufficiently in fatty sheaths (myelin), which disrupts communication between nerve cells.

Experts explore the organization of cancer cells and the influence of drug treatment

The changes that occur in individual cancer cells in due course detail the varied development of brain tumors.

Genetic and epigenetic origin of pediatric liver cancer uncovered

Researchers at Hiroshima University have analyzed the molecular findings of almost 160 pediatric liver cancer cases and discovered molecular markers that should help to understand and treat the considerable variation in prognoses.

Rice researcher secures $1.9 million NIH grant to improve time-release drugs

Time-released drugs are about to get a geometry lesson, thanks to bioengineers at Rice University.

Scientists find two proteins that pair up to build lifelines to cancer cells

In human cancer cell and mouse studies, researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine have found that a set of proteins work in tandem to build supply lines that deliver oxygen and nutrients to tumors, enabling them to survive and grow.

Researchers find a new way to counter immunosuppressive effect in tumors

Malignant tumors can enhance their ability to survive and spread by suppressing antitumor immune cells in their vicinity, but a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian has uncovered a new way to counter this immunosuppressive effect.

Study outlines the advantages of organoids for basic research into coronaviruses

Scientists created an organoid biobank to investigate the genes that are vital for the spreading of a SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Study reveals how the tumor suppressor gene plays a vital role in pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have revealed how the tumor suppressor gene PTEN plays a more important role in pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma than was previously appreciated.

Novel T cells reside in lymph nodes and offer protection against melanoma

Immunotherapy is an advancing field but there is limited knowledge on the immunity to metastatic tumors in locations like lymph nodes.

Vaccinating against certain cancer proteins can boost overall immune response and shrink tumors

Over the past decade, scientists have been exploring vaccination as a way to help fight cancer. These experimental cancer vaccines are designed to stimulate the body's own immune system to destroy a tumor, by injecting fragments of cancer proteins found on the tumor.

Hundreds of mutated tumor suppressor genes can help cancer cells evade the immune system

Hundreds of cancer-linked genes play a different role in causing disease than scientists had expected.

New genetic classifier can predict the sensitivity of chemotherapy for breast cancer

A team of researchers recently postulated a genetic classifier with the ability to predict the sensitivity of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer in the area of tumor molecular markers.

Researchers develop novel cell reprogramming strategy to slow down glioblastomas

Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults. Among them, high-grade glioblastomas (GBMs) are particularly known to be notoriously aggressive and invasive, which makes it challenging to treat them.

Constitutive BAK/MCL1 complexes could predict sensitivity of chemotherapy drugs, research shows

A research team led by Prof. DAI Haiming from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently announced the constitutive BAK/MCL1 complexes could predict chemotherapy drugs sensitivity of ovarian cancer. The result has been published on Cell death & disease.
