Study shows how many HBeAg-negative patients can achieve permanent immune control of hepatitis B

More than half of patients who suffer from chronic hepatitis B have the e antigen (HBeAg)-negative form of the disease.

Common amino acid discovery improves understanding of the biological causes of depression

A common amino acid, glycine, can deliver a "slow-down" signal to the brain, likely contributing to major depression, anxiety and other mood disorders in some people, scientists at the Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology have found.

New microscopy method illuminates the mechanics of embryo development

In 1922, French physicist Léon Brillouin predicted an interesting phenomenon – when light is shone on a material, it interacts with the naturally occurring thermal vibrations within it, exchanging some energy in the process.

New therapeutic approach to eliminate aging cells by boosting anti-viral immune response

Aging, or senescent cells, which stop dividing but don't die, can accumulate in the body over the years and fuel chronic inflammation that contributes to conditions such as cancer and degenerative disorders.

CAR T-cell therapy improves quality of life for patients with blood cancers

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has transformed cancer treatment, yet relatively few studies have investigated the impact of the therapy on longitudinal patient quality of life – an aspect of care that often suffers from receiving traditional intensive cancer medications, such as chemotherapy.

BGI Genomics and Zentya collaborate to launch first-ever fecal DNA tests for colorectal cancer in Slovakia

BGI Genomics is pleased to announce the launch of COLOTECTTM 1.0 in Slovakia, in collaboration with its local partner, Zentya.

$3.2 million grant aids in the study of genetic testing approach to close racial disparity gaps in cancer care

With the aid of a near $3.2 million National Cancer Institute grant (R01CA277599) recently awarded, investigators from the state's leading cancer program, Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey,  and Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, both NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers, will work to close racial disparity gaps in cancer care delivery by examining a novel approach to genetic testing and care based on community-identified needs.

Study shows how neutrophils play a key role in cancer immunotherapy success

Cancer immunotherapies that recruit a patient's own immune system to destroy tumors have transformed the treatment of many types of cancer. Yet these therapies do not elicit universally good treatment responses.

New type of nanoparticle can deliver messenger RNA encoding useful proteins to the lungs

Engineers at MIT and the University of Massachusetts Medical School have designed a new type of nanoparticle that can be administered to the lungs, where it can deliver messenger RNA encoding useful proteins.

New research may upend long-held scientific dogma about short telomeres and cancer risk

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say their 20-year study of more than 200 people with premature aging syndromes caused by abnormally short telomeres, or shortened repetitive DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes, may upend long-held scientific dogma and settle conflicting studies about how and whether short telomeres contribute to cancer risk.

Study paves the way for some patients with testicular cancer to avoid chemotherapy and radiation

A newly published study paves the way for some patients with testicular cancer to avoid chemotherapy and radiation.

Analysis reveals key risk factors for surgical site infections following abdominal hysterectomies

Findings from an analysis of more than 66,000 abdominal hysterectomies performed in New York hospitals reveal key risk factors for surgical site infections (SSIs) following these procedures, including open surgery, obesity, diabetes, gynecological cancer, and age under 45.

Scientists uncover how some skin cancers resist treatment at the end of life

Scientists have found out how some skin cancers stop responding to treatment at the end of life.

The breadth of immune responses following COVID-19 vaccination in hematology patients with diseases and treatments impacting B cell immunity

A study published in Cell Reports Medicine describes that COVID-19 vaccines induce strong T cell response in blood cancer patients, irrespective of antibody response and B cell numbers.
