Repeated injury to the epithelial tissue of airways causes "biological aging" of stem cells

Are prematurely aged or overworked stem cells a significant factor in chronic lung disease? Findings of a study just released in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine (SCTM) say this is likely so.

Research could lead to new treatment option for breast cancer patients with brain metastases

Breast cancer patients whose cancer spreads to the brain may soon have new treatment options, thanks to research led by CU Cancer Center member Diana Cittelly, PhD.

Study uncovers a new way to counter immune suppression in tumors

Malignant tumors can enhance their ability to survive and spread by suppressing antitumor immune cells in their vicinity, but a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian has uncovered a new way to counter this immunosuppressive effect.

New discovery elucidates the link between inflammation and pancreatic cancer development

A new discovery from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has clarified the long-established connection between inflammation and pancreatic cancer development.

Novel cell reprogramming offers a promising therapeutic strategy to slow down glioblastomas

Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults. Among them, high-grade glioblastomas (GBMs) are particularly known to be notoriously aggressive and invasive, which makes it challenging to treat them. The disease rapidly progresses to an advanced stage in a short span of time, and the survival of such patients is often dismal.

Researchers identify key factor responsible for brain development during evolution

As humans, we have a large and intricately folded neocortex that accounts for many of our intellectual abilities and sets us apart from all other species

Blood serum test can identify which breast cancer patients have slow-growing disease

Researchers with the SWOG Cancer Research Network have found that patients with metastatic hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who have low activity levels of the enzyme sTK1 in their blood serum at the start of anti-estrogen treatment live longer and go longer without their disease progressing than patients with high levels.

SARS-CoV-2 may have consequences to host cells beyond evoking an immune response

A recent study examined the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to impact DNA damage response and telomere stability in Vero E6 cells.

Functional impairment of HIV-specific T cells precedes aborted virus control

HIV is a master of evading the immune system, using a variety of methods to prevent the body from being able to find and kill it.

Results from Phase 0/1 trial of ribociclib plus everolimus in patients with high-grade glioma announced

The Ivy Brain Tumor Center at Barrow Neurological Institute, the largest early-phase drug development program for brain cancer in the world, announced results from their Phase 0/1 clinical trial of ribociclib plus everolimus in patients with high-grade glioma (HGG).

Molecular underpinning of chronic bone infection in patients with mycobacterial disease revealed

About a quarter of the world's population is infected with tuberculosis bacteria, according to the World Health Organization, but only about 5 to 10% of those infected will develop symptoms. These pathogens are mycobacteria, which are everywhere, including in chlorine-treated tap water.

Researchers find potential new target for treating systemic inflammation in obesity

A study led by researchers at the University of Chicago and Indiana University has determined that a protein called elF5A is necessary for driving inflammation in macrophage cells in obesity.

Severe COVID-19 is associated with expansion of immature myeloid cells and inflammation

A team of scientists in Ireland recently identified certain immune markers that can predict the progression of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection to severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Early detection of these predictive markers can facilitate therapeutic decision-making prior to peak severity.

Novel assay helps identify factors that can convert normal cells into liver cancer cells

Researchers at the University of Helsinki could show for the first time that normal human fibroblast cells can be converted to specific cancer cells using only factors that are commonly detected in actual human patients.

Newly discovered cell type makes survivors of sepsis more vulnerable to infections

Sepsis is the leading cause of death in Brazil's intensive care units (ICUs). Among patients who progress to the severe form of the disease, 40% die, and the survivors often suffer from cardiovascular and neurological complications, as well as a significant decline in immunity lasting for years after they are discharged from hospital.

Impact of neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiation on exosomal markers expression in colorectal cancer

Oncotarget published "The impact of neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiation on exosomal markers (CD63 and CD9) expression and their prognostic significance in patients with rectal adenocarcinoma" which reported that the impact of neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiation on exosomal markers expression and their prognostic significance in patients with rectal adenocarcinoma are yet to be explored.
