For many doctors and researchers, immunotherapy that uses someone’s own immune system to target and attack cancer cells is the next and best frontier of cancer treatment. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, or CAR-T cell therapy, is one type of immunotherapy. Sometimes likened to a “smart drug” or “living drug,” CAR-T cell therapy relies on genetically modified immune cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells.
A recent surgeon general’s advisory outlining an urgent need to support increasingly stressed-out parents highlights an important and growing issue, says a Virginia Tech expert. Rosanna Breaux, a psychologist at Virginia Tech who directs the Child Study Center, said how well parents manage their emotions is crucial for their own parenting experience and for the health of both themselves and their children.
Para muchos médicos e investigadores, la inmunoterapia, que utiliza el propio sistema inmunitario de la persona para identificar y atacar las células cancerosas, es la mejor y la siguiente frontera del tratamiento contra el cáncer. La terapia con células T con receptor de antígeno quimérico, o terapia con células CAR-T, es un tipo de inmunoterapia. Ocasionalmente comparada con una "droga inteligente " o una" droga viva", la terapia con células CAR-T se basa en células inmunitarias genéticamente modificadas para reconocer y destruir las células cancerosas.
Rutgers Health research reveals how dental check-ups could be the first line of defense against deadly sleep disorders.
Ketamine, whether given as an IV, a nasal spray or sublingual, may harm a developing fetus, but a study shows clinics vary greatly in handling patients who could become pregnant during treatment.
Ashok Silwal, a doctoral candidate and graduate research assistant at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of the University of Alabama System, has been chosen to receive a NASA Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST) scholarship to study stream interaction regions (SIRs) in the heliosphere.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $125 million in funding for two Energy Innovation Hub teams to provide the scientific foundation needed to seed and accelerate next generation technologies beyond today’s generation of lithium (Li)-ion batteries.
In a study using human breast cancer cells, scientists say they have potentially identified immune system white blood cells that appear to be the closest neighbors of breast cancer cells that are likely to spread.
Study from the Michigan Child Health Equity Collaborative finds substantial errors across three health systems in racial and ethnic designations in their electronic medical records.
During September’s Healthy Aging Month, the American Society of Retina Specialists and its retina specialist members encourage older Americans to learn more about retinal disease and adopt healthy habits that bolster retina health.
Eating any amount of fish during pregnancy was associated with about a 20% lower likelihood of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis, particularly in females, and a slight reduction in autism-related traits in offspring, according to a new study funded by the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program at the National Institutes of Health.
A computer model developed by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers significantly enhances the ability of scientists to detect communication between cells, according to a new study published in Nature Methods.
University of Miami economists assess the factors that cause food prices to fluctuate, while noting that government policies to reduce food costs likely have little impact.
New research reveals that Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) conducted on proprietary blockchains are fundamentally much more likely to succeed in the long term, highlighting the significant impact of network effects on ICO performance.
The researchers used magneto-induced electric field (MIEF) technology to explore the structural and rheological properties of citrus pectin under different pH conditions. This technology is not only green and safe, but also easy to operate and low cost, suitable for industrial application.
A report released today by the Center for State Policy Analysis (cSPA) at Tufts University's Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life helps voters understand the potential impact of Massachusetts Ballot Question 1, which would empower the state auditor to investigate the Massachusetts Legislature — but could also trigger a stand-off with lawmakers.
Heart failure during pregnancy is a dangerous and often under-detected condition because common symptoms – shortness of breath, extreme fatigue and trouble breathing while lying down – are easily mistaken for typical pregnancy discomforts. Late-breaking research presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress on a Mayo Clinic study showed an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled digital stethoscope helped doctors identify twice as many cases of heart failure compared to a control group that received usual obstetric care and screening. Full study findings are published in Nature Medicine.
