Lymph Node News and Research

RSS

Lymph is clear or white fluid that travels through vessels, moves within tissues and work to keep all the parts of the body clean. After passing through the channels of the lymphatic system they drain into the lymph nodes. The lymph nodes act as filters along the lymphatic system. These nodes trap germs like bacteria, viruses, toxins as well as cancer cells and ensure that these are removed from the body.

How should we react to the global monkeypox outbreak?

In a new study, researchers assessed the various aspects of the global monkeypox outbreak.

Novel model reveals how genomic instability arises in histologically benign tissue

Understanding which cells give rise to which areas of cancer can improve our understanding of how a tumor has grown and developed, including how it has changed genetically, over time. This has been made possible using a new technique called spatial transcriptomics, which allows scientists to see what genetic changes take place without breaking up the tissue they're looking at.

RNA exosomes play a key role in B cell development, UTSW study suggests

New research from UT Southwestern suggests that RNA exosomes – the cellular machines that degrade old molecules of RNA – play a key role in the development of B cells, which are critical to the immune system's ability to protect against infection.

Researchers demonstrate the double advantage of killer T-cells used in cancer immunotherapy

To grow, tumors rely on a specific structure, the tumor stroma. This includes blood vessels, which provide the nutrients necessary for the multiplication of diseased cells, and of lymphatic vessels, through which they migrate to metastasize.

Taking everolimus post-surgery can improve outcomes in patients with high-risk renal cell carcinoma

In a study of patients with high-risk renal cell carcinoma, those who took the drug everolimus daily for up to one year after surgery lived longer without their disease returning (recurrence-free survival, or RFS) than those who did not take everolimus, although the results narrowly missed the clinical trial's prespecified level for statistical significance.

The effect of BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine on human semen

Scientists from Italy have recently analyzed the effect of the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine on the semen quality of adult men.

Counting metastatic lymph nodes is better for determining prognoses of solid tumors

Patients newly diagnosed with cancer typically focus on one question, eclipsing all others: "What is my prognosis?"

Black patients with early-onset colorectal cancer receive worse, less timely care than white counterparts

In a new large national study led by researchers at the American Cancer Society, Black patients diagnosed with early-onset colorectal cancer received worse and less timely care than their white counterparts.

Combined treatment approach proves to be beneficial for prostate cancer patients

Practice-changing research from Cedars-Sinai Cancer shows that a combination of androgen deprivation therapy-;a commonly used hormone injection-;plus pelvic lymph node radiation, kept nearly 90% of clinical trial patients' prostate cancer at bay for five years.
