RAGE plays key role in cellular mechanisms of plasticity in aggressive triple-negative breast cancer

Published online ahead of print in the journal Oncogene , a study led by Josep Villanueva, an Investigator at the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO), shows that the receptor for advanced glycation end-product (RAGE) plays a key role in cellular mechanisms of plasticity in mesenchymal triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that transform epithelial cells into mesenchymal cells as potent drivers of cancer cell proliferation and tumor invasion.

New antibody shows promise in reversing carfentanil overdoses

An antibody in single-chain fragment variable (scFv) format that binds to the powerful opioid carfentanil was shown to reverse signs of carfentanil overdose in preclinical tests conducted by scientists at Scripps Research.

Adjuvanted intranasal vaccine shows promise for long-lasting immunity to COVID-19

While much of the global concern has subsided, COVID-19 is still a very real threat, especially to people with compromised immune systems or who are over 65.

Childhood abuse can induce stress that changes neural networks and functions during growth

Childhood neglect and/or abuse can induce extreme stress that significantly changes neural networks and functions during growth. This can lead to mental illnesses, including depression and schizophrenia, but the exact mechanism and means to control it were yet to be discovered.

Study reports the first protein-based diagnostic signature to discriminate MIS-C from Kawasaki Disease and other common infections

Researchers explore the distinguishing features of MIS-C as compared to other inflammatory-infectious syndromes in children.

Nutrition meets cancer therapy: How gut microbiome and diet impact immunotherapy success

Researchers investigated the complex relationship between gut bacteria, diet, and patient nutrition.

Surprising new role for a key immune regulator revealed

A signaling protein known as STING is a critical player in the human immune system, detecting signs of danger within cells and then activating a variety of defense mechanisms.

CAR-T immune therapies could be effective against solid tumors

CAR-T immune therapies could be effective against solid tumors if the right targets are identified, a new study led by University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers suggests.

Children raised in rural areas have better regulated immune systems

Children raised in rural environments who spend a lot of time outdoors with some exposure to animals grow to have better regulated immune systems than children living in urban environments, a new study has found.

Genome-wide study finds link between CHD1L gene and HIV control

"We searched for human genetic variation that associates with spontaneous control of HIV and identified a novel region in the genome that is only variable in populations of African ancestries," says Professor Jacques Fellay at EPFL's School of Life Sciences.

Moderna vaccine linked to lower risk of adverse events in older adults

While mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 have been found to be safe and effective for the general population, in-depth evidence about safety and effectiveness for older adults and individuals with chronic health conditions is more limited.
