Using Bacteriophages to Treat Inflammatory Bowel Disease

A research team at McMaster University has developed a targeted approach to treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using bacteriophages, viruses that infect specific bacteria, to disarm harmful microbes without disrupting the broader gut ecosystem.

Research Shows How Alpha Synuclein Interacts With Traditional Alzheimer's Proteins

The aging brain frequently harbors multiple protein pathologies that contribute to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases.

New ATTACH System Overcomes Key Bottleneck in Personalized Immunotherapy Development

A new platform developed by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center quickly finds and isolates rare, tumor-reactive immune cells that are especially good at recognizing and attacking cancer cells, even without knowing which tumor targets are recognized by the immune cells.

Study Identifies Novel Metabolic Pathway Driving Cancer Gene Activation

A team at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a novel metabolic pathway that plays a key role in enabling cancer to progress through gene activation.

Eradicating Lingering Cancer Cells Prevents Relapse in B Cell Leukemia

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center were able to eradicate measurable residual disease (MRD) in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients, a critical step in improving long-term survival outcomes, by treating with the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) inotuzumab ozogamicin.

Gut Microbiome Signatures Correlate With Clinical Efficacy in Immunotherapy Outcomes

Cancer remains notoriously difficult to treat, partly because tumors co‑opt their surrounding environment, including the resident microbiota, to evade immune surveillance and resist conventional therapies.

Biofabrication Study Explores How Immune Cells Aid Tumor Survival

A new "tumor-on-a-chip" model is giving scientists a live look at how pancreatic cancer can recruit the body's own immune cells to help tumors survive.

Study: Genetically Engineered CAR T Cells Suppress the Immune System’s Response to Allergen

Genetically engineered CAR T cells expressing artificial receptor proteins are increasingly used in the clinic to boost the immune system's response against leukemias and other cancers.

New Research Maps Gut Microbiome Impact on Liver Cancer Immunotherapy Resistance

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has reshaped the treatment landscape for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), offering new hope where few options existed.

Salk Study Identifies Brain Signaling Target to Prevent Cancer Cachexia

According to the Cleveland Clinic, a quarter of cancer deaths can be attributed to one source: cachexia. Cachexia is a syndrome that accompanies underlying chronic illness and causes unwanted muscle and fat loss, reducing quality of life and sometimes even limiting treatment options.

Researchers Discover Genetic Markers Predicting Prostate Cancer Ferroptosis

A new study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has identified genetic factors that determine whether prostate cancers are susceptible to a type of cell death known as ferroptosis.

Research Links Evolved Long Noncoding RNAs to Cancer Growth

In cancer research, one person's junk is increasingly becoming another person's treasure. Scientists have now uncovered new evidence showing how recently evolved "junk DNA" genetic elements can become integrated into ancient cellular pathways that regulate cancer.

Stem T Cells Replenish the Immune System During Chronic Infections and Diseases

T cells are an elite fighting force of the immune system, seeking out and destroying diseased cells. But in a prolonged campaign against a chronic condition - like a viral infection, or cancer - the body needs a steady supply of these killer troops. Where and how these killer troops are generated has been a mystery.

Cancer Cells Hijack Macrophage Metabolism to Create an Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are among the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. However, instead of attacking cancer cells, they are typically co-opted to support tumor growth, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance.

Researchers Identify Crucial Cell Death in Down Syndrome

Researchers at the Alzheimer's Center at Temple have identified evidence of a new form of cell death known as necroptosis in the brains of individuals with Down Syndrome, with the corresponding biomarkers providing new clues to potential treatment also for Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.
