Research opens the door for better use of people's own immune system T cells to fight cancer

Using laboratory-grown cells from humans and genetically engineered mice, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have evidence that modifying a specific protein in immune white blood cells known as CD8+ T cells can make the cells more robust, potentially opening the door for better use of people's own immune system T cells to fight cancer.

Study details the key role played by neutrophils in ensuring survival of brain cancers

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has for the first time exhaustively analyzed immune cells known as neutrophils that reside in brain tumors, including gliomas, which develop in the brain itself, and cancers that spread there from the lung, breast and skin.

Study uncovers a novel role for the vagus nerve

The vagus nerve, known for its role in 'resting and digesting', has now been found to have an important role in exercise, helping the heart pump blood, which delivers oxygen around the body.

Prolonged mismatch between calories eaten and burned may be putting many athletes at risk of REDs

The estimated prevalence of REDs varies by sport, ranging from 15% to 80%. The syndrome often goes unrecognised by athletes themselves, their coaches, and team clinicians, and may unwittingly be exacerbated by the 'sports culture,' because of the perceived short term gains on performance from intentionally or unintentionally limiting calorie intake, warns the Statement.

Study aims to cast light on the impact of combined alcohol and e-cigarette use on blood brain barrier

With a variety of flavors and widespread perceptions of safety, e-cigarettes appeal to an array of users and especially to adolescents. E-cigarette use, however, is linked to increased alcohol consumption, as well as the use of other substances and drugs.

New model paves way to understanding and preventing SUDEP in familial epilepsy

Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a model for studying one type of familial epilepsy, opening the door to understanding—and eventually targeting—the mechanisms that lead to the disorder and its associated fatalities.

Plant-based proteins boost muscle mass and cut fat in older adults

Plant-based proteins are just as effective as animal-based options in maintaining muscle mass and strength in older adults, a new meta-analysis finds. The study shows that plant proteins can even aid in reducing fat mass, offering a sustainable and healthful option for combating age-related muscle decline.

Exercise boosts immune defense in Lynch syndrome patients

Aerobic exercise, specifically cycling, shows promise in reducing inflammation and boosting immune responses in the colonic tissue of Lynch syndrome patients, a group at high risk for colorectal cancer. The study suggests that regular exercise may offer a preventive approach for this patient population, though further randomized trials are needed.

Decoding tauopathies: New study identifies non-coding RNA as a key player in Alzheimer's

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine identify a key step in the development of harmful tau tangles, offering a potential target for preventing brain damage in diseases like Alzheimer's. The study highlights the role of long noncoding RNAs, particularly SNHG8, in stress granule formation and tau aggregation, opening new avenues for treatment.
