Scientists Find Way to Boost Natural Killer Cells Targeting Pediatric Brain Cancer

Natural killer cells are white blood cells that eliminate cancer or other infected cells in the human body. Now a new study has looked into these cells’ ability to eliminate a certain type of cancer known as malignant rhabdoid tumor. This aggressive and rare type of brain cancer starts developing in a child’s kidneys, soft tissues or other organs. It mainly affects young children and babies. In some instances, natural killer cells can be overpowered by the cancer cells. Scientists at Florida State University may have found a way to enhance natural killer cells that target this pediatric cancer. The…

UCSF Team Tests New Drug That Could Reverse Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune condition that affects an individual’s brain and spinal cord, causing symptoms that include difficulty walking or problems with one’s vision or balance. The condition’s mechanism of action involves using an individual’s immune system to attack the myelin, a protein and fatty substance that protects and surrounds nerve fibers. By damaging myelin, nerves aren’t able to carry electrical impulses from and to the brain. This damage also allows scar tissue known as sclerosis to form. This chronic disease of the central nervous system may, in some cases, lead to severe disability. Now, researchers at Contineum Therapeutics…

Studies Show Protein, Reelin, Protects Brain Against Alzheimer’s, Aging

Researchers conducting separate studies published last year all determined that reelin, a protein that helps maintain memory and thinking in the brain, may also protect this important organ from diseases of aging such as Alzheimer’s. The researchers also found that if levels of reelin decrease, the vulnerability of neurons increases. Professor Li-Huei Tsai of MIT stated that increasing evidence had shown that reelin acted as a protector of the brain. Tsai is also the director of the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory. The studies have inspired efforts to develop medications that help reelin function better or boost its levels…
