Novel agent shown to have dual mechanism of action to eliminate cancer

Results from a study spearhead by researchers at the Vall d´Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO), show that the blockade of the multi-functional cytokine LIF induces tumor-infiltrating T Cells to hone in on and eliminate cancer.

Researchers identify macrophages' pathway to nurture PTEN-deficient glioblastoma

A common genetic deficiency empowers glioblastoma to broadcast a molecular message to the wrong type of immune cell, summoning macrophages that protect and nurture the brain tumor instead of attacking it, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center report in Cancer Cell.

Study assesses potential negative effect of Ochratoxin A on embryonic development

The study shows that the presence of Ochratoxin A affects survival and decreases the proliferation of human cells in the embryonic phase

Human body is a mosaic pattern of DNA mutations, say researchers

Researchers have discovered that the cells of the human body aren’t clones of a single DNA sequence, but are actually a mosaic of mutations.

Targeting immune cells could potentially treat some kinds of brain tumor, study suggests

Tumors arise when cells shake off their restraints and start to multiply out of control. But how fast a tumor grows does not depend solely on how quickly the cancer cells can divide, a new study has found.

Climate change adversely affects human health, says new report

Climate change may progressively affect human health for the worse, requiring prompt and resolute action to stabilize it, reports a consortium of 27 leading scientific academies in Europe.

IU researchers, collaborators receive grant to develop immunotherapy treatments for cancer

A team of researchers from Indiana University and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have been awarded a $4.1 million National Cancer Institute "Cancer Moonshot" grant to develop immunotherapy treatments for cancer in children and adolescents, especially those with leukemia.

Cancer researchers discover new functions for common oncogene MYC

Cancer researchers have discovered surprising new functions for a protein called MYC, a powerful oncogene that is estimated to drive the development of almost half a million new cancer cases in the US every year.

UC Santa Cruz researchers determine structure of a 'master switch' for cell division

Unregulated cell division is a hallmark of cancer, and one of the key proteins involved in controlling cell division is called FoxM1.

Researchers discover signaling protein that may protect parathyroid glands from hyperactivity

Overactive parathyroid glands,which control the body's blood calcium levels, can lead to kidney stones, neuropsychiatric disorders and bone abnormalities, particularly among elderly women.

Study uncovers new oncogenic function of receptor associated with Alzheimer's disease

Common and rare SORLA single nucleotide polymorphisms have been associated with the development of Alzheimer's disease.

Researchers discover unexpected survival mechanism of a subset of cancer cells

Embedded at the end of chromosomes are structures called "telomeres" that in normal cells become shorter as cells divide. As the shortening progresses it triggers cell proliferation arrest or death. Cancer cells adopt different strategies to overcome this control mechanism that keeps track of the number of times that a cell has divided.

Researchers study optimum conditions to administer human milk to premature babies

Giving human milk to premature babies is recommended by the WHO for at least six months in order to provide, as well as nutrients, key antimicrobial substances for these babies, who are born with low weight or can be immunosuppressed.

Cell scientist receives $1.9 million NIH grant to study muscle regeneration

As people age, their muscle regeneration capacity declines in part because they can no longer make enough muscle stem cells to replace damaged tissue.
