Study provides new insights into mechanisms used by cells to transmit genetic information

The integrity of the genome relies on the ability of the cells to build and maintain a well-defined boundary between the nuclear compartment and the cytoplasm, known as the nuclear envelope.

Researchers find two connective tissue cells to be linked to worse prognosis of breast cancer

In certain forms of cancer, connective tissue forms around and within the tumor. One previously unproven theory is that there are several different types of connective tissue cells with different functions, which affect the development of the tumor in different ways.

NanoBioCel group develops lipid vesicles that can genetic material efficiently and viably

In a piece of research conducted in collaboration, the NanoBioCel group of the UPV/EHU's Faculty of Pharmacy, and the University of Elche have designed some niosomes, which are lipid vesicles for use in gene therapies designed to treat diseases of the central nervous system.

Researchers develop new technique to accurately isolate phloem cells across plants

Crops worldwide are increasingly vulnerable to pandemics, as diseases hitch rides on global flows of people and goods, hopping from continent to continent. Phloem diseases such as citrus greening are one particularly devastating group of plant diseases that have been wreaking economic havoc globally.

CAR-T cell therapy appears to be promising option for treating large B-cell lymphoma

So-called CAR-T cell therapy is a promising option for treating around a fifth of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

International study increases group of lung cancer patients who may benefit from immunotherapy

The strategy for triggering the patient's own immune system to attack cancer, immunotherapy, is proving effective for more and more tumor types, although to varying degrees.

Study: 39% of B cell lymphoma patients treated with CAR T therapy remain in remission

A new article published today in The Lancet Oncology shows 39 percent of large B cell lymphoma patients treated with the chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy Yescarta remained in remission more than two years following therapy, and more than half of the patients treated remain alive.

Study shows how flies detect novel odors using a tactic similar to that of computers

It might seem like fruit flies would have nothing in common with computers, but new research from the Salk Institute reveals that the two identify novel information in similar ways.

New strategies may improve performance of CAR-T cell therapy in treating cancer

Mayo Clinic researchers have developed two new strategies that may improve the performance of chimeric antigen receptor therapy in treating cancer. They are presenting results of their preclinical research at the 2018 annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology in San Diego.

New gene therapy treatment for Sickle Cell Anemia reverses symptoms in adults

After over a decade of preclinical research and development, a new gene therapy treatment for Sickle Cell Anemia is reversing disease symptoms in two adults and showing early potential for transportability to resource-challenged parts of the world where SCA is most common.

New drug combination could kill melanoma cells more effectively, study shows

A class of cancer drugs called protein kinase inhibitors is one of the most effective treatments for melanoma. However, in many cases, tumors eventually become resistant to the drugs and cause a relapse in the patient.

Brown researchers awarded $12 million NIH grant renewal to explore fundamentals of brain function

Brown University's Center for Central Nervous System Function, part of the Carney Institute for Brain Science, has been awarded a $12 million grant renewal from the National Institutes of Health's Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence program.

Study shows outcomes of CAR T-cell therapy when used as standard of care for lymphoma

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, or CAR T, was named the 2017 Advance of the Year by the American Society of Clinical Oncology. The FDA approved two CAR T products last year for treatment of adult large B-cell lymphoma based on the exceptional patient outcomes seen in clinical trials.

UK scientists find new way to identify patients with aggressive lymphoma

UK scientists have found a new way to identify people with the most aggressive types of lymphoma who are less likely to respond to standard drugs.

Using nanocarrier-delivered microRNA to target sepsis

One in three patients who die in the U.S. dies of sepsis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is one of the leading causes of death in intensive care units and, with an estimated price tag of $20 billion in 2011, the most expensive condition that hospitals treat.

Scientists develop nanoscale tweezers that can move freely within cells

Researchers have developed nanoscale “tweezers” that can extract cellular components such as DNA, proteins, and organelles, without causing damage or bursting the cell.

Research highlights ability of Bio-Rad's ddPCR in quantifying minimal residual disease

More than 30 abstracts presented at the 60th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting & Exposition in San Diego, December 1-4, featured research highlighting the ability of Bio-Rad's Droplet Digital PCR to provide high sensitivity and accuracy in quantifying minimal residual disease -- those remaining cancer cells after therapy that are associated with relapse -- in blood diseases such as leukemia.

Researchers find effective new target for mood-boosting brain stimulation

Researchers have found an effective target in the brain for electrical stimulation to improve mood in people suffering from depression.

Study uncovers how HIV DNA is blocked from entering the cell nucleus

Multiple components of the nuclear pore complex and nuclear import machinery enable a protein called human myxovirus resistance 2 (MX2) to inhibit HIV-1 infection, according to a study published November 29 in the open-access journal PLOS Pathogens by Michael Malim of King’s College London, and colleagues.
