Scientists Discover Unknown T Cell Function That Can Help Fight Fungal Infections

New research has found that some T cells secrete cytokines that may help fight against fungal infections and autoimmune illnesses. T cells are a type of white blood cell that help protect the body against infection. Different T cells have different functions in helping fight infection. T helper cells, for example, secrete cytokines that attract other immune cells to the infection site. These cells can also counteract inflammation. The new study, led by Professor Christina Zielinski of the Friedrich Schiller University, discovered a cytokine in Th17 cells that was proinflammatory. Cytokines are small proteins that play an important role in…

Researchers Design a New Way to Kill Cancer Using Cancer Cells

Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital may have found another way to treat cancer; the new approach involves transforming cancer cells into anti-cancer agents. The researchers developed the new therapy approach, which can train the immune system to prevent the disease from recurring while also eliminating primary tumors. Dr. Khalid Shah, the study’s corresponding author, stated that the group’s objective was to turn cancer cells into cancer vaccines and killers. He explained that the scientists repurposed cancer cells using gene engineering to design a therapy that eliminated tumor cells and stimulated the immune system to prevent cancer and destroy established…

Study Finds Pharmacotyping Pediatric Leukemia Offers Blueprint to Better Precision Medicine

Researchers at St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital have conducted a new study looking into drug sensitivity among patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia across a variety of genetic subtypes. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a common childhood cancer that affects white blood cells. It is estimated that roughly 98% of children suffering from this cancer type will experience remission after a few weeks of treatment. Of this number, almost 90% will be cured. Current treatments for acute lymphoblastic leukemia are risk adapted, which means that chemotherapy is based on leukemia genomics, clinical features and the extent of minimal residual disease. The researchers’…

New Study Challenges Existing Theories about Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s is a debilitating mental illness that affects more than 6 million Americans of all ages. The condition is especially prevalent among the elderly, with an estimated 6.5 million Americans aged 65 and older living with Alzheimer’s last year. Some figures show that 73% of the people living with Alzheimer’s are 75 years old and older. Alzheimer’s usually occurs when amyloid proteins build up abnormally in and around brain cells and form deposits of plaque, causing a reduction in neurotransmitter activity. The plaque buildup causes parts of the brain to shrink over time, usually beginning with the regions in charge…

Scientific Review Highlights Stigma Directed at People Living with Chronic Pain

The International Association for the Study of Pain estimates that 20% of people worldwide live with chronic pain, with low- and middle-income countries reporting a higher chronic pain prevalence of around 33%. A recent scientific review by researchers from the Sapienza University of Rome has now revealed that chronic pain sufferers are increasingly becoming victims of stigma. Stigma is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a mark of disgrace, shame or disapproval that results in discrimination and exclusion from the community. When patients suffer from stigmatized conditions such as HIV/AIDS, obesity, and chronic pain, they are much less…
