Regenerating bone marrow after chemotherapy

In this interview, AZoLifeSciences speaks to Professor Masaru Ishii about his latest research that investigated how bone marrow regenerates after chemotherapy.

New drug target identified for antibiotic-resistant bacteria

Scientists have discovered a key mechanism that enables dangerous bacteria to develop resistance to antibiotics.

New technique can mitigate the effects of brain injury in preterm babies

One in 10 babies are born prematurely in the United States, leading to complications that can impact the infants’ locomotor development and affect basic tasks.

Immune cells in cerebrospinal fluid could be biomarkers to predict immunotherapy response

Results from a study led by Joan Seoane, Director of Preclinical and Translational Research co-program at VHIO and ICREA Professor, show that immune cells accessing cerebrospinal fluid faithfully recapitulate the characteristics of cells identified in brain metastasis, and could therefore constitute novel biomarkers of response to immune-based therapies.

New substance could improve the treatment of drug-resistant cancers

A new substance could improve the treatment of persistent cancers. Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and the University of Greifswald have developed a new inhibitor that makes drug-resistant tumor cells respond again to chemotherapy.

Targeted immunotherapy could improve radiotherapy response in cancer cells

Cancers that are resistant to radiotherapy could be rendered susceptible through treatment with immunotherapy, a new study suggests.

Fluorescent chemical dye helps track specific motor protein within cells

A cell can stay alive only when it supplies all the required energy elements to its various organelles and these elements are formed in the Golgi apparatus.

Mutant protein plays key role in Huntington’s disease

Back in 1993, researchers had discovered that Huntington’s disease is typically caused by a single mutated gene, known as HTT.

Study identifies molecular mechanism by which HSPCs recover after chemotherapy-induced injury

Chemotherapy has a damaging effect on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in bone marrow. However, once chemotherapy ends, HSPCs regenerate, a process that has remained unknown--until now.

Promising drug targets identified for aggressive forms of cancers

Scientists have largely been producing transcriptomic data in an attempt to find clues about modified cellular pathways that may be fueling cancer behavior.

Mutant peptides derived from SARS-CoV-2 hamper activation of CD8+ killer T cells

A deep sequencing study of 747 SARS-CoV-2 virus isolates has revealed mutant peptides derived from the virus that cannot effectively bind to critical proteins on the surface of infected cells and, in turn, hamper activation of CD8+ killer T cells that recognize and destroy these infected cells.

Engineered safety switch reduces CAR-T immunotherapy-related side effects

UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have successfully used an experimental safety switch, incorporated as part of a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, a type of immunotherapy, to reduce the severity of treatment side effects that sometimes occur.

SARS-CoV-2 can make itself unrecognizable to immune response by T-killer cells through mutations

The body's immune response plays a crucial role in the course of a SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition to antibodies, the so-called T-killer cells, are also responsible for detecting viruses in the body and eliminating them.

Legal wildlife trade needs monitoring to reduce emerging zoonotic diseases

With three out of four newly emerging infectious human diseases originating in animals, there is an urgent need to monitor the legal trade in wildlife, according to new research by Vincent Nijman, Professor in Anthropology at Oxford Brookes University.
