Study finds a link between aging and cancer metastases

Spreading cancer cells that escape a primary tumor site can seed in tissues distant from the tumor, but may take several years or decades to grow into full metastatic cancers.

Combination bNAb therapy may offer a future alternative to daily ART for people living with HIV

Individuals with HIV who began taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the early stages of infection achieved a lengthy period of HIV suppression without ART after receiving two broadly neutralizing anti-HIV antibodies (bNAbs), according to a small study published today in the journal Nature.

Study highlights the need for liver cirrhosis patients to be educated on hepatic venous pressure gradient

Just like the hypertension that people develop when their blood pressure increases, the increase of blood pressure in the main vein that supplies blood to the liver, called the portal vein, is also a dangerous situation.

UCLA researchers identify a method to make tumors susceptible to immune attack

One powerful way cancer cells defend against tumor-killing immune cells is to load up their cell surface with a protein known as PD-L1. Now a team of UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers led by Roger S. Lo, MD, PhD, has identified a method to degrade tumor cell-surface PD-L1, thereby making tumors susceptible to immune attack.

Study highlights the positive effects of Humanin G in reducing inflammation in AMD

A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) on the cover of Volume 14, Issue 10, entitled, "Effect of Humanin G (HNG) on inflammation in age-related macular degeneration (AMD)."

Liver4Life research team treated damaged liver in a machine and then implanted the recovered organ

The multidisciplinary Zurich research team Liver4Life has succeeded in doing something during a treatment attempt that had never been achieved in the history of medicine until now: it treated an originally damaged human liver in a machine for three days outside a body and then implanted the recovered organ into a cancer patient.
