| T cell behavior determines which tumors respond to treatment Posted: 09 May 2022 10:26 AM PDT Immunotherapy unleashes the power of the immune system to fight cancer. However, for some patients, immunotherapy doesn't work, and new research may help explain why. When immune cells called T lymphocytes infiltrate malignant tumors, the genetic program of those T cells and the developmental path they then follow, may affect their response to immunotherapy and predict overall patient survival, according to a new study. The results overturn the prevailing model of immune responses in melanoma and present different therapeutic approaches. |
| Multi-tasking wearable continuously monitors glucose, alcohol, and lactate Posted: 09 May 2022 08:20 AM PDT Imagine being able to measure your blood sugar levels, know if you've had too much to drink, and track your fatigue during a workout, all in one small device worn on your skin. Engineers developed a prototype of such a wearable that continuously monitors several health stats at once. |
| A better diet helps beat depression in young men Posted: 09 May 2022 08:20 AM PDT Young men with a poor diet saw a significant improvement in their symptoms of depression when they switched to a healthy Mediterranean diet, a new study shows. |
| Targeting interleukin-6 could help relieve immunotherapy side effects Posted: 09 May 2022 08:20 AM PDT Researchers have identified a novel strategy to reduce immune-related adverse events from immunotherapy treatment by targeting the cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6). |
| Novel approach could lead to treatment of devastating brain tumors Posted: 09 May 2022 07:09 AM PDT Findings from a seven-year research project suggests that there could be a new approach to treating one of the most common and devasting forms of brain cancer in adults -- Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). |
| Major discovery provides new hope for blood cancer patients Posted: 09 May 2022 07:09 AM PDT Acute myeloid leukaemia is a rare and devastating blood cancer that is highly resistant to treatment. Now, scientists have discovered a way to suppress a specific protein that promotes drug resistance. |
| Getting sticky with it: Phospholipid found to play a key role in epithelial cell adhesion Posted: 09 May 2022 07:09 AM PDT Cells have certain proteins that help them adhere to each other while covering body surfaces and organs. Loss of these identifying proteins could result in cellular progression towards cancer and, subsequently, metastasis. However, lipids may play a role in maintaining cellular identity as well. Scientists have now identified the role of PIP2, a phospholipid, in maintaining epithelial cell-cell adhesion and cellular identity. Their findings will help develop strategies aimed at suppressing metastasis. |
| Food insecurity risk related to diabetes later in life Posted: 09 May 2022 07:09 AM PDT Young adults who were at risk of food insecurity had increased incidence of diabetes 10 years later, according to a new study. While previous research has associated food insecurity with a range of health issues including diabetes, obesity and hypertension, this study showed a connection over time, suggesting a causal relationship. Researchers analyzed data on nearly 4,000 people from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. They found that adults ages 24-32 who said they'd been worried about food running out in the last year showed greater incidence of diabetes, either through blood glucose tests or self-reports, at ages 32-42, compared to those who did not report food insecurity risk. |
| Why science doesn't help sell chocolate chip cookies Posted: 09 May 2022 07:09 AM PDT People don't want science anywhere near their delicious chocolate chip cookies. But they're happy to have science create body wash that fights odor-causing bacteria. |
| Researchers identify rare genetic markers of drug-resistant tuberculosis Posted: 09 May 2022 07:09 AM PDT Researchers have identified rare genetic markers in M. tuberculosis that could improve early detection of drug-resistant strains of the disease, helping prevent their spread. |
| It's all in the wrist: A portable MRI system for early detection of sports injuries Posted: 06 May 2022 08:33 AM PDT To provide a convenient tool for the early detection of injuries, researchers have developed a portable MRI device for diagnosing cartilage damage in the wrist. Using this device, the researchers imaged the wrists of tennis players at a tennis school. Several athletes were found to have cartilage damage without any other symptoms of an injury. Thus, this device provides a convenient early screening tool to help prevent further injury or damage. |
