Decoding macrophage immune responses with gene editing and machine learning

Fighting off pathogens is a tour de force that must happen with speed and precision. A team of researchers at CeMM and MedUni Vienna led by Christoph Bock and Matthias Farlik has investigated how macrophages-immune cells that are the body's first responders-master this challenge.

NR2F1 drives fibrotic cataract formation through activation of STAT3

Cataracts remain one of the most prevalent and debilitating eye conditions, often requiring surgical intervention to restore sight. Yet even after surgery, many patients develop anterior subcapsular cataracts (ASC), characterized by fibrotic tissue growth beneath the lens capsule.

Radiation primes the immune system to attack lung tumors resistant to immunotherapy

By sparking the immune system into action, radiation therapy makes certain tumors that resist immunotherapy susceptible to the treatment, leading to positive outcomes for patients, according to new research by investigators at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy and the Netherlands Cancer Institute.

Rare coexistence of APC and KRAS mutations observed in patient with FAP and endometrial cancer

Researchers have discovered an unusual case where two well-known cancer-related mutations-APC and KRAS-coexisted in a woman with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and a history of endometrial cancer.

Sound stress alone induces pain sensitivity and brain inflammation

Pain is an important physiological response in living organisms. While physical pain is an outcome of tissue damage, pain can manifest as diverse unpleasant sensory and emotional experiences. Many studies report that emotional or psychological stress enhances pain responses.

Shen-Bai-Jie-Du decoction inhibits colorectal tumorigenesis by targeting immunosuppressive dendritic cells

This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how single-cell RNA sequencing reveals that Shen-Bai-Jie-Du decoction retards colorectal tumorigenesis by regulating the TMEM131-TNF signaling pathway-mediated differentiation of immunosuppressive dendritic cells.
