|
| | All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in each cell. | |
|
| | Therapeutic cancer vaccines have experienced a remarkable resurgence over the past decade, representing a paradigm shift in oncology toward harnessing the immune system's intrinsic ability to combat malignancies. | |
|
| | In a new study of more than 40,000 patients, researchers at Intermountain Health in Salt Lake City have found that patients who have no evidence of calcium in their coronary arteries are not only significantly less likely to die from heart conditions – including heart attacks and heart failure– but also are at reduced risk of death from non-cardiac medical conditions. | |
|
| | A combination blood stem cell and pancreatic islet cell transplant from an immunologically mismatched donor completely prevented or cured Type 1 diabetes in mice in a study by Stanford Medicine researchers. | |
|
| | Researchers from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, et al. have published a case report entitled "Acquired immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) associated with inactivated COVID-19 vaccine CoronaVac".

|
| | Researchers from Rutgers Cancer Institute, New Jersey's only National Cancer Institute (NCI) - designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, and RWJBarnabas Health, along with colleagues from the National Cancer Institute, a center of the National Institutes of Health, announced findings from two HPV-related studies that highlight the potential of novel T cell therapies to achieve long-lasting remission and complete tumor regression in patients with... | |
|
| | A pioneering preclinical study has shown that CAR T cell therapy-a personalized form of immunotherapy used in cancer treatment-could be a highly effective tool against atherosclerosis, the condition where a build-up of plaque in the arteries reduces blood flow, leading to heart attacks and strokes. | |
|
| | Platelets are small, disc-shaped cell fragments in the blood that are essential to stop bleeding and to initiate blood clotting after injury. | |
|
| | Every year, 12 million people worldwide suffer a stroke; many die or are permanently impaired. Currently, drugs are administered to dissolve the thrombus that blocks the blood vessel. | |
|
| | Chronic liver disease (CLD) and its advanced stage, cirrhosis, represent a significant global health burden, with portal hypertension (PH) being a primary driver of disease progression and decompensation. | |
|
| | Fondazione Telethon announces the positive opinion issued by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommending marketing authorization in the European Union for Waskyra, an ex vivo gene therapy for Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS), a rare and life-threatening primary immunodeficiency. | |
