Genes That Saved People from Bubonic Plague Linked to Autoimmune Conditions Today

More than 700 years ago, a pandemic called the Black Death tore across Europe, taking an estimated 75 million to 200 million lives and reducing the continent’s population by around 30% to 60%. The Black Death was the first wave of a pandemic that lasted almost 500 years and is said to be the largest-ever catastrophe involving infectious diseases. Centuries later, the genetic traits that enabled people to fight off the bubonic plague are associated with an increased risk of certain autoimmune disorders. Researchers studying DNA from survivors and victims of the bubonic plague found that people who had a…

Research Finds New Therapy Path for Brain Cancer

Brain cancer affects hundreds of thousands of people globally every year and, together with central nervous system tumors, is estimated to take more than 200,000 lives. Research has also found that brain tumors make up 85% to 90% of all central nervous system tumors. Physicians usually treat brain cancer with radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery. However, brain tumors often recur after treatment and, in some cases, cannot be removed from the brain. As such, researchers are always looking for a more effective brain cancer treatment that can treat tumors and keep them away for the long term. A recent discovery…

New Discovery May Improve Prospects for Patients with Cancer

CDC data shows that cancer death rates have been dropping for the last two decades, with a decline of 27% being recorded in the period between 2001–2020. Researchers believe that this can be attributed to improvements in current cancer treatment and diagnostic procedures as well as the use of precise gene sequencing approaches to help treat cancer. Despite this, many individuals still succumb to this fatal illness, with some cancers heightening the risk of a patient dying. For instance, colorectal, pancreatic and lung cancers make up about 40% of all cancer deaths recorded in America. In an effort to improve…
