Why Colon Cancer Is Largely Unresponsive to Immunotherapy

Colorectal cancer is the third-most common type of cancer among adults in the United States, affecting an estimated 106,970 people in 2023 and predicted to take more than 50,000 lives this year. Treatment often involves surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible, followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy to kill off any remaining tumor cells. Recent research published in the “Nature Genetics” journal has shed new light on why immunotherapy, a relatively new type of cancer treatment that uses a patient’s own immune system to kill cancer cells, isn’t as effective against colon cancers. Researchers studied the…

Nottingham University Researchers Find Way to Make Brain Cancer Cells Self-Destruct

Nottingham University researchers have devised a novel means of treating brain cancer that could signal a “quantum leap” in brain-tumor treatments moving forward. A multidisciplinary research team created a new way of targeting and eliminating cancer cells in typically hard-to-treat types of brain tumors that cause cancer cells to essentially self-destruct. This technique involves leveraging bio-nanoantenna, extremely tiny gold particles (nanoparticles) coated with redox active molecules that are specialized to bring about programmed cell death (apoptosis). Upon electrical stimulation, bio-nanoantenna can induce the self-destruction of brain tumor cells, giving physicians a potential treatment option with much higher chances of better…

Study Shows Climate Change Impacts Infectious Disease Risks

European researchers have published a study associating climate change with the prevalence of infectious disease transmission. The continent-wide study analyzed the prevalence of viruses, bacteria and protozoans that have the potential to infect humans, domestic animals and bats in various climates. The researchers found that rainfall and temperature could affect the prevalence of several potentially pathogenic microorganisms. They investigated more than 75 microbes from an estimated 40 bat and 400 bird species across the European continent and compared their prevalence to different climatic conditions. Increased temperatures and extreme weather events often come to mind when most people think about the…

UI Research Suggests Immune System Can Be Trained to Combat Solid Tumors

New research from the University of Illinois suggests that scientists can leverage the immune system to combat more types of cancer than previous research indicated. A recent study analyzing the effectiveness of treatments that use chimeric antigen receptor T cells to fight cancer cells found that cancer therapies that involve modifying CAR-T cells to improve their anticancer capabilities may also be effective at fighting solid tumors. Past research and plenty of real-world evidence have consistently shown that cancers without solid tumors such as lymphoma and leukemia can be treated through immunotherapies. However, this treatment exhibited barely any effectiveness against cancers…
