Parkinson’s diagnoses expected to increase by 20%

A surge in Parkinson’s diagnoses is expected for people over the age of 60. Parkinson’s UK’s latest figures show that there are currently more than 77,000 people in the UK with Parkinson’s between the ages of 60 and 79. This is projected to increase by 20 percent by the year 2025 to more than 92,000. Currently, there is no cure and treatments are limited.

Researchers use mRNA-loaded carriers to target genetic instructions of protein in immune cells

Delivering an effective therapeutic payload to specific target cells with few adverse effects is considered by many to be the holy grail of medical research. A new Tel Aviv University study explores a biological approach to directing nanocarriers loaded with protein "game changers" to specific cells.

Scientists find ways to block nitration of amino acids to improve cancer immunotherapy

Immunotherapy -- harnessing T-cells to attack cancer cells in the body -- has given hope to patients who endure round after round of treatment, including chemotherapy, to little effect. For all of its promise, however, immunotherapy still benefits only a minority of patients -- a reality driving research in the field for ways to improve the relatively new approach.
