Modification in some RNA molecules could protect against non-alcoholic fatty liver

RNA molecules while carrying genetic instructions from DNA to the protein-making machinery of cells could help guard against non-alcoholic fatty liver.

New study could prevent T cell exhaustion in the immune system’s fight against cancer

Struggling against a tumor is not a sprint. It is a marathon. The race of cancer-fighting T cells is at times simply very long, and the T cells give up fighting. This phenomenon is referred to as T cell exhaustion by researchers.

Researchers use body-on-a-chip cancer models to study personalized immunotherapy response

Wake Forest researchers and clinicians are using patient-specific tumor 'organoid' models as a preclinical companion platform to better evaluate immunotherapy treatment for appendiceal cancer, one of the rarest cancers affecting only 1 in 100,000 people.

Subset of immune cells may carry out a sort of 'secondary education' to protect pregnancy

Researchers at UC San Francisco are zeroing in on how the immune system may play a role in miscarriage, which affects about a quarter of pregnancies.

Contamination of urban surface water by human waste drives 'superbug' spread

Contamination of urban lakes, rivers and surface water by human waste is creating pools of 'superbugs' in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) - but improving access to clean water, sanitation and sewerage infrastructure could help to protect people's health, a new study reveals.
