Discovery of neoantigens could widen the possibilities for universal cancer vaccine

For more than a decade, scientist Stephen Albert Johnston and his team at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute have pooled their energies into an often scoffed-at, high-risk, high-reward goal in medicine: to develop a universal vaccine to prevent cancer.

Researchers observe the effects of two proteins responsible for metastasis

The research by Assoc. Prof. Nurhan özlü of Koç University Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics and her team recently published in Molecular & Cellular Proteomics has observed the effects of two proteins in the transition from the epithelial to the mesenchymal cell type, the latter of which has mobility.

New leishmaniasis look-alike parasitic infection reported

A new study published online in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases describes the appearance of a new protozoan infection carried by insects which causes symptoms that mimic the disease called visceral leishmaniasis, caused by a different parasite.

New study shows response to HIV vaccine in 6 weeks

A new study using DNA-based and protein HIV vaccines in various combinations shows that antibody and cellular immune response occurs within 6 weeks from the date of vaccination, and the combination must be administered together for the most rapid protection. This will enable more large-scale testing of the vaccine for effectiveness. About 40 million people today have HIV infections, and 1.2 million deaths a year are related to this infection.

Review examines the role of biologic agents in management of shoulder and elbow problems

The utilization of stem cell therapies for augmentation of tissue healing has far outpaced the supporting scientific and clinical data, largely due to aggressive marketing that has led to widespread and often inappropriate use of cell therapy approaches in the United States.

Using AI to transform drug discovery in a big way

According to the National Cancer Institute, approximately 38 percent of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives.

MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute enrolls first patient in cardiac stem cell clinical study

MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute has enrolled its first patient to a clinical trial to determine whether cardiac stem cells reduce inflammation enough to improve heart function in patients with heart failure severe enough to require a left ventricular assist device, or LVAD.

New $1.5 million grant could help develop innovative methods to halt spread of cancer

One of the most devastating pieces of news a cancer patient can receive is that their cancer has spread to other parts of the body.

Researchers deploy bacteriophages to fight against antibiotic resistance

In the battle against antibiotic resistance, many scientists have been trying to deploy naturally occurring viruses called bacteriophages that can infect and kill bacteria.

Findings could open up new research avenues into how heme tolerance occurs in humans

Most people have some idea of how important iron is to their health, but Iqbal Hamza, professor in Animal and Avian Sciences, has made his seventeen-year career at the University of Maryland all about the study of iron and heme trafficking and regulation in the body.

Researchers to explore if humans can exploit genetics of a mouse that regrows axons after injury

A bit more than a million years ago, a population of Southeastern Asian mice developed the remarkable ability to regrow axons after injury to its brain.

Detecting neurocognitive change in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Although cure rates for children with cancer are increasing, cancer treatments can cause permanent deterioration of brain functions leading to impairments in attention, concentration, memory and learning. As a result, these changes can lead to challenges with school, obtaining future employment and overall quality of life into adulthood, even though cancer treatment may have been successful.

New method for studying individual cells could lead to earlier detection of diseases

Researchers in Sweden and the U.S. have devised a new method for studying individual cells in human tissue, which could lead to even earlier detection of diseases such as cancer and ALS. The method offers a 1,400-fold increase in spatial resolution.

Function of certain 'brake cells' disrupted in some forms of epilepsy

In some forms of epilepsy, the function of certain "brake cells" in the brain is presumed to be disrupted. This may be one of the reasons why the electrical malfunction is able to spread from the point of origin across large parts of the brain.
