Immunotherapy is one of the newest cancer treatment options that has made it possible for physicians to target and treat cancer more effectively. This treatment works by helping a patient’s immune system to kill cancer cells rather than using pharmaceuticals or radiation therapy to directly fight the cancer cells. Immunotherapy typically has fewer side effects compared to other cancer treatment options, and it can be used on cancers such as skin cancer, which don’t respond well to other treatments, including chemotherapy, and it may prevent cancer from returning by boosting the immune system’s ability to fight cancer cells. However, immunotherapies…

Consuming Too Much Salt May Trigger Autoimmune Illnesses

Consuming too much salt affects an individual’s cardiovascular system and blood pressure negatively while also impacting the immune system adversely. A new study has now found that the consumption of too much salt weakens the energy supply of regulatory T cells, preventing them from working properly. Regulatory T cells are cells that help maintain homeostasis in the body by suppressing immune responses that may cause excessive inflammation. The study was carried out by a global team of researchers coordinated by researchers at the Max Delbrück Center in Germany, Hasselt University and the VIB Center for Inflammation Research in Belgium.

Study Finds Common Fatty Acid May Increase Pain, Temperature Sensitivity in Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a skin condition that causes flaky skin patches which form scales. The condition’s symptoms include dry skin lesions called plaques, which can appear anywhere on one’s body, including the knees, elbows, lower back and scalp. While the condition’s primary cause remains unknown, researchers believe that it may be caused by cells that fight infection mistakenly attacking healthy skin cells. New research carried out by North Carolina State University scientists has found that linoleic acid may increase sensitivity to pain and temperature in psoriasis plaques. Linoleic acid is a common fatty acid found in the Western diet. The researchers…
