Expansion stress promotes immunosuppression and enhances growth of breast cancer cells

Expansion stress can have an alarming impact on breast cancer cells by creating conditions that could lead to dangerous acceleration of the disease, an interdisciplinary team of University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers has found.

Salmonella biofilm protein can cause autoimmunity and arthritis in animals

Scientists from the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization-International Vaccine Centre at the University of Saskatchewan and Temple University have demonstrated that a Salmonella biofilm protein can cause autoimmune responses and arthritis in animals.

Preventing immune cell reprogramming could be a new way to stop breast cancer metastasis

Natural killer cells, a type of immune cell, are known to limit metastasis by inducing the death of cancer cells. But metastases still form in patients, so there must be ways for cancer cells to escape.

New spatial mapping method pinpoints new potential therapeutic targets for lupus

A team of researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia used a new method of pinpointing potential disease-causing changes in the genome to identify two new potential therapeutic targets for lupus, while also paving the way for more accurately identifying disease-causing variations in other autoimmune disorders.

Bacteria-induced cell fusion provokes the immune system and causes host cell destruction

Burkholderia pseudomallei is a bacterium in the soil that causes melioidosis, a tropical disease with high morbidity and mortality.

Super-resolution microscopy methods reveal the smallest cell structures

Theoretically, high-resolution microscopy should make it possible to capture cell structures that have a resolution of a few nanometers.

Study shows engineered natural killer immune cells can directly kill tumor cells

According to a study, researchers have successfully designed natural killer immune cells that destroy head and neck tumor cells in mice.

Scientists discover role of surface diffusion in protein transport

Many of the most promising medicines under development are proteins, often antibodies, to help patients fight disease. These proteins must be purified as part of the manufacturing process -- a task that can be tricky and result in costly waste.

Salk researchers discover genetic 'dial' to fine-tune the immune response

The human immune system is a finely-tuned machine, balancing when to release a cellular army to deal with pathogens, with when to rein in that army, stopping an onslaught from attacking the body itself.

New device can help test potential drug candidates for COVID-19

Scientists have created a human cell “membrane on a chip” that enables tracking of the interaction of drugs and infectious agents with the human cells.

Organoids reveal inflammatory processes that play a role in infectious diseases

Research is employing mini-organs to model the digestive tract in the laboratory setting. These supposed organoids shed light on the inflammatory processes.

Researchers identify protective antibodies for rare, polio-like disease in children

Researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Purdue University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison have isolated human monoclonal antibodies that potentially can prevent a rare but devastating polio-like illness in children linked to a respiratory viral infection.

Unique method could help fight antibiotic resistance

A new method developed by researchers at the University of Exeter could help decrease the prescription of antibiotics by estimating the drugs that could be effective in combating bacteria within a few minutes.

Study shows how epigenetics contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases

The human immune system is expected to guard people against the invasion of external microbes, but at times, it possibly leads to autoimmune disorders.

Study highlights the role of hematopoietic immune cells in gene regulation

More often, the human body is viewed as a “machine” containing specialized components: immune cells protect against pathogens, organs contribute physiological functions, and soft tissue and bones give structure.

Combination of ExM and SIM helps observe 3D ultrastructure of synaptonemal complex

The development of egg and sperm cells in all mammals, including humans, is significantly contributed by the synaptonemal complex—a ladder-like cell structure.

6 Jul 2020

Mineral-coated microparticles are better vehicles for promising mRNA-based therapy

University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers have developed a safer and more efficient way to deliver a promising new method for treating cancer and liver disorders and for vaccination -- including a COVID-19 vaccine from Moderna Therapeutics that has advanced to clinical trials with humans.
