Novel imaging method shows link between iron redox and Alzheimer’s disease

There is a growing body of evidence that iron in the brain may play a role in Alzheimer's disease. Lending weight to that idea, a new imaging probe has for the first time shown that in the same regions of the brain where the amyloid beta plaques associated with Alzheimer's occur, there is also an increase in iron redox, meaning the iron in these regions is more reactive in the presence of oxygen.

Leveraging cell self-destruction to treat glioblastoma tumors

Glioblastoma is the most common type of brain tumor in adults. The disease is 100% fatal and there are no cures, making it the most aggressive type of cancer. Such a poor prognosis has motivated researchers and neurosurgeons to understand the biology of tumors with the goal of creating better therapies.

Chemists discover novel, highly effective anticancer agents with tridimensional structures

A research team co-led by chemists from City University of Hong Kong recently discovered novel, highly effective anticancer agents with tridimensional structures, which have high anticancer activity, low toxicity and the ability to overcome drug resistance in cancer cells.

Combinatorial biomarker predicts response to immunotherapy in kidney cancer patients

The number of immune cells in and around kidney tumors, the amount of dead cancer tissue, and mutations to a tumor suppressor gene called PBRM1 form a biomarker signature that can predict — before treatment begins — how well patients with kidney cancer will respond to immunotherapy, according to new research directed by investigators at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy.

Scientists unearth some of the biological mechanisms behind ferroptosis

A team of researchers at Tohoku University has unearthed some of the biological mechanisms of ferroptosis, a recently discovered type of regulated cell death that is triggered by iron and the accumulation of lipid peroxidation - lipids that have undergone oxidative degeneration.

Candida auris escapes innate immunity through metabolic reprogramming

A team of scientists from Australia and Israel demonstrates that Candida auris, a fungus associated with life-threatening and drug-resistant infections, escapes the host's innate immune response by destroying macrophages through metabolic reprogramming. The fungus is also capable of escaping antimicrobial inflammatory response.
