Children's immune system better prepared to defend against SARS-CoV-2, study finds

Why are severe courses of SARS-CoV-2 infection much less common in children and adolescents than in adults? Scientists at the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) have now discovered that the immune system in the upper respiratory tract is much more alert and active in children before infection than in adults and is therefore better equipped to fight the virus.

Research suggests a potential new approach for halting the spread of pancreatic cancer

A new study carried out in mice, led by Queen Mary University of London, has identified cells that drive the spread of pancreatic cancer and discovered a weakness in these cells that could be targeted using existing drugs.

Lung chip model offers new insights into how radiation damages the lungs

The lung is one of the tissues most sensitive to radiation in the human body. People exposed to high radiation doses following nuclear incidents develop radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), which affects the function of many cell types in the lung, causing acute and sustained inflammation, and in the longer term, the thickening and scarring of lung tissue known as fibrosis.

Kidney transplantation turns back the clock on renal aging

This recent study in the Journal of Internal Medicine reveals that kidney transplantation mitigates the effects of renal aging in chronic kidney disease patients, outperforming dialysis. The research utilized DNA methylation clocks to assess biological age, finding that age acceleration decreased one year post-transplant but remained unchanged with dialysis.

New treatment options offer hope for patients with non-small cell lung cancer

More people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are likely to benefit from new drugs that target molecular alterations in tumour cells, with less need for chemotherapy, following results of multiple landmark clinical trials reported for the first time in late-breaking presentations at the ESMO Congress 2023 (1-7).

Researchers receive NCI grant for the development of new pancreatic cancer therapies

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have received an NCI grant that will provide about $10.9 million to research programs for the development of new therapies for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the deadliest form of pancreatic cancer.

Mitochondrial protein CHCHD2 plays important role in glioblastoma progression

Glioblastoma is the most common type of brain tumor that affects adults and, unfortunately, still remains incurable. In a new study, researchers have demonstrated that a specific mitochondrial protein plays an important role in glioblastoma, and can therefore be used as a potential target to reduce tumors.
