Using immunotherapy to prevent cancer metastases
Scientists have demonstrated how killer T cells used in immunotherapy to eliminate cancer cells can also destroy tumour lymphatic vessels, thus greatly reducing the risk of metastasis.
How do fast-growing bacteria resist antibiotics?
A new study has revealed how some fast-growing bacteria could be retreated with antibiotics.
Novel CRISPR screen revealed loss of genes in the interferon gamma receptor signalling pathway
A new study has highlighted that the interferon gamma receptor pathway is necessary for CAR T-cell mediated killing in solid tumours.
Three distinct brain circuits in the thalamus contribute to Parkinson’s symptoms
Targeting these brain circuits could offer a new way to reverse motor dysfunction and depression in Parkinson’s disease patients.
New insights into how genetic factors affect body’s immune response in type 1 diabetes
The new study highlights 11 genes which could be considered as potential candidates for novel therapeutics for type 1 diabetes.
Dietary fibre in the gut could help with skin diseases
New research has found that microbial fermentation of dietary fibre in the gut can protect against allergic skin diseases.
Immune protein may contribute to alcoholism relapse
Scientists have found that an immune protein, CSF1, may cause anxiety during alcohol withdrawal, therefore causing relapse.
Scientists develop nanoparticles that can cross the blood-brain barrier
Tested using a new brain tissue model, researchers have developed nanoparticles which may be able to deliver chemotherapy drugs for glioblastoma.
Mouse study shows gene therapy could fight against rare disease
A new study shows that gene therapy could correct a rare creatine deficiency disorder that commonly results in intellectual disabilities, problems with speech, involuntary movements, and recurrent seizures.
