Mutations that lead to intracranial aneurysms discovered

Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan have discovered a set of related mutations that lead to intracranial aneurysms-;weakened blood vessels in the brain that can burst at any time.

Multiple sclerosis: Immune cell invasion enabled by blood-brain barrier breakdown

Blood-brain barrier breakdown in multiple sclerosis leads to immune cell infiltration into the central nervous system. Antigen presentation at the barrier promotes CD8+ T cell entry, triggering focal breakdown and hindering their invasion.

Researchers discover the molecule responsible for guiding T cells toward tumors

Immunotherapy, particularly CAR T-Cell treatment for cancer, is extending the lives of many patients. But sometimes the therapy randomly migrates to places it shouldn't go, tucking into the lungs or other noncancerous tissue and causing toxic side effects.
