New label-free immune profiling assay to assess rapidly changing host immune response

Researchers from Critical Analytics for Manufacturing Personalized-Medicine (CAMP), an Interdisciplinary Research Group (IRG) at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), MIT's research enterprise in Singapore, have developed a new label-free immune profiling assay that profiles the rapidly changing host immune response in case of infection, in a departure from existing methods that focus on detecting the pathogens themselves, which can often be at low levels within a host.

Researchers use mathematical modeling to explain CAR T-cell therapy dynamics

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, or CAR T, is a relatively new type of therapy approved to treat several types of aggressive B cell leukemias and lymphomas.

Silencing a key protein to “domesticate” COVID-19 virus

When cells in the human body are invaded by a virus, they send a signal to adjacent cells to boost their antiviral defenses to stop the spread of infection.

Study shows how a subset of T cells is generated in melanoma survivors affected by vitiligo

A few patients suffering from melanoma are known to respond quite well to immunotherapy and experience significant and long-lasting tumor regression.

Novel vaccine uses patient's own tumor cells to train the immune system to fight cancer

Immunotherapy, which recruits the body's own immune system to attack cancer, has given many cancer patients a new avenue to treat the disease.

Genetically engineered immune cells deliver anticancer signal to organs to prevent metastasis

Scientists have genetically engineered immune cells, called myeloid cells, to precisely deliver an anticancer signal to organs where cancer may spread.

Study shows SARS-CoV-2 antibodies wane at different rates

Researchers from Duke-NUS Medical School, the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID), and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Infectious Diseases Labs have discovered that antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 decline at different speeds, and these antibodies last for only a few days in some people but remain for many years in other individuals.

Gender difference accounts for major psychiatric disorders

According to an analysis of sex variations in the genetics of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depressive disorders.

Specific enzyme can delay the growth and spread of neck and head carcinomas

Scientists were able to considerably delay the growth and proliferation of tumors in mice and improve the effectiveness of immunotherapy.

Bacteria residing within tumor cells may boost cancer immunotherapy

Cancer immunotherapy may get a boost from an unexpected direction: bacteria residing within tumor cells. In a new study published in Nature, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science and their collaborators have discovered that the immune system "sees" these bacteria and shown they can be harnessed to provoke an immune reaction against the tumor.

Non-circulating memory T cells contribute to chronic transplant rejection

The main function of non-circulating memory T cells is to offer local protection against re-infection.

Low representation of minority groups in genomic databases may impact therapy selection

Low representation of minority groups in public genomic databases may affect therapy selection for Black patients with cancer, according to new Mayo Clinic research published in npj Precision Oncology.

22 Mar 2021

Study advances CAR T cell therapy targeted at cancer

Cancer immunotherapy involves the activation of cells in the patient’s own immune system to fight tumor cells.

Study identifies new biomarkers for the prognosis of gastric adenocarcinoma

A study headed by UCM reports that polymorphisms in gene TGFB1 and low plasma levels of protein TGFB1 serve as biomarkers for the gastric adenocarcinoma prognosis.

Immune receptor proteins can help treat autoimmune diseases

TARM1 is a receptor protein, whose function in the working of the immune system is not known yet. Now, in a new research work, Japanese researchers have analyzed mouse models to investigate the promising role of TARM1 protein in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis.

Study shows beneficial effects of gene therapy can be observed even after several decades

A new study shows that the advantageous effects of gene therapy can be observed several decades after the body clears the transplanted blood stem cells.

Researchers develop new cell-based test system to identify immunoregulatory modulators

Our immune system is very successful when it comes to warding off viruses and bacteria. It also recognizes cancer cells as potential enemies and fights them. However, cancer cells have developed strategies to evade surveillance by the immune system and to prevent immune response.

Study shows how human viruses are better adapted to infect certain tissues

The world’s first systematic study has explained how SARS-CoV-2 and other human viruses are more adapted to infect specific types of tissues..
