For the first time, scientists have successfully created a type of mouse with a 100% functional human immune system and human-like gut microbiome. This ‘humanized’ mouse takes the guesswork out of medical research and has the potential to revolutionize… Continue reading ‘Super-humanized’ mice with 100% human immune systems are a big deal
Prostate cancer needs testosterone to grow. In metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), an advanced form of the disease, the cancer continues growing despite a reduction in testosterone brought about by chemical or surgical castration. … Continue reading FDA fast-tracks personalized therapy for hard-to-treat-prostate cancer
Measles was declared eliminated from the US in 2000 because of vaccination. Now, it’s back – in a big way. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as of June 27, 2024, 159 measles cases had been reported across 23 states. Of … Continue reading Vaccine breakthrough protects the immunocompromised from the unvaxxed
A group of volunteers in the UK let scientists put the SARS-CoV-2 virus up their noses for research investigating why some of us naturally avoid getting COVID-19. This first-of-its-kind study opens the door to better vaccines and treatments.Continue Re… Continue reading Deliberately-infected-human study shows why some of us don’t get COVID
As their name suggests, regulatory T cells, or Tregs, are a type of white blood cell that actively regulate or suppress the body’s immune response. They stop the immune system from overreacting, keeping it in check by controlling inflammation and prote… Continue reading Immune cell discovery: “The potential to be used for almost everything”
Things that help the body fight cancer are good, especially if they’re easy to implement and don’t require a doctor’s prescription. In a recent study, researchers from the Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center in New York investigated how fastin… Continue reading Fasting supercharges the cancer-killing properties of immune cells
Scientists at Harvard have developed a promising new treatment to reverse hair loss associated with alopecia. Painless microneedle patches loaded with an immune regulating drug regrew hair in mice with alopecia within a few weeks.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Hair loss reversed with drug-loaded microneedle patches for alopecia
For the first time, a major trigger in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and related conditions has been identified, and existing drugs can stamp it out, in what scientists call a “massive step” in successfully treating these debilitating chronic condit… Continue reading Major inflammatory bowel disease cause identified – and treated
In what researchers have called an “unprecedented” response, a new drug that treats locally advanced rectal cancer has shown to have completely eradicated tumors in all 42 patients who took part in the Phase II trial.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, … Continue reading 100% of cancers cured long-term in “remarkable” human trial
Scientists have developed a promising new drug that could prevent and even reverse the onset of type 1 diabetes. The experimental monoclonal antibody drug acts like a shield to protect insulin-producing cells from damage, even extending lifespan in som… Continue reading Experimental antibody drug prevents and even reverses diabetes onset
