Cancer cells may be using lipids to hide from the immune system
A new study demonstrates that one particular lipid type is critical for cancer immune evasion—so much so that certain cancer cells cannot proliferate without it. …
New therapy that targets and destroys tau tangles is a promising future Alzheimer’s disease treatment
Scientists have developed new potential therapies that selectively remove pathogenic tau protein aggregates associated with Alzheimer’s disease. …
Landmark study reveals how antibiotics contribute to inflammatory bowel disease risk
Landmark study reveals important insights into how antibiotic use increases the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). …
Cancer prevention: How an aging immune system fuels cancer growth
New preclinical model suggests blocking inflammation pathways may reverse cancer-promoting effects of aging, inspiring early-phase clinical drug trials. …
Novel immunotherapy improves recovery from spinal cord injury
Scientists have developed an immunotherapy that protects neurons from immune cell attack at the site of traumatic spinal cord injury. …
Unveiling the molecular mechanisms linking aging with neurodegenerative diseases
Researchers elucidate the role of the PQBP3 protein in stabilizing the nuclear membrane, highlighting its connection to aging, cellular senescence, and the development of neurodegenerative diseases. …
A metabolic switch for immune memory and anti-tumor immunity
New research identifies a metabolic switch in T cells that is crucial for generating memory T cells, which provide lasting immunity to past pathogens, and a T cell subtype in tumors that enhances anti-tumor responses during immunotherapy. …
Spike mutations help SARS-CoV-2 infect the brain
Scientists found a mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that is important for its ability to infect the central nervous system. …
Gut bioelectricity provides a path for bad bacteria to cause diseases
Study reveals that bioelectricity in the gut attracts bacterial pathogens, with potential implications for gut health. …
Molecule restores cognition, memory in Alzheimer’s disease model mice
