A new study has found that trans-vaccenic acid, a fatty acid found in dairy products and the meat of grazing animals, may boost the cancer-killing abilities of the immune system’s T cells. Also found to enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy, the n… Continue reading Fatty acid in beef & dairy found to boost immune cells’ cancer response

Researchers have improved upon existing organoids, creating a miniature 3D colon complete with immune cells that could lead to the development of personalized treatments for colon-related diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and cancer.Continue … Continue reading Mini colons with immune cells may lead to personalized disease treatments
It’s well documented that vitamin B12, or cobalamin, helps red blood cells form and facilitates DNA synthesis that protects genetic mutations in our cells. It is also crucial in the development and ongoing function of our brain and nerve cells. Now, sc… Continue reading Vitamin B12 helps reprogram cells to heal tissue & fight chronic disease
A new study has found that TLR7, a protein that normally triggers our immune system to defend against certain viruses, plays a pivotal role in exacerbating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD. The unexpected discovery may lead to new therapeu… Continue reading Protein discovery raises prospect of treatment for COPD

Immunotherapy is a promising cancer treatment, but it can take too long to administer. In a new study, scientists at UCLA have taken steps towards an “off-the-shelf” therapy that could be mass produced and quickly rolled out to patients with a variety … Continue reading “Off-the-shelf” cancer immunotherapy inches closer with new mouse study
There are a lot of research eyes on the development of Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) inhibitors for cancer treatment right now, with several drugs currently in clinical trials and at least one in late-stage Phase III testing. But University of Cambridge sc… Continue reading Promising cancer drug may effectively treat gout and heart disease
Several years after the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, researchers still face plenty of unanswered questions. For example, we know COVID is associated with a variety of neurological symptoms, both short- and long-term, but it … Continue reading All variants of COVID-19 virus can infect the brain, study finds
Researchers have used a method of total-body imaging to measure and track the body’s immune response to viral infection. The method is a promising platform for studying human immunity in greater detail and could be used to evaluate cancer treatments an… Continue reading Total-body imaging captures immune system’s response to viral infection
