Immune cell discovery provides new opportunity for cancer immunotherapy
Atlanta N: Researchers at Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute discovered a new form of immune cell known as the stem-like CD4 T cell, which plays
Mapping tumor microenvironments: Uncovering spatial subclones for improved cancer treatment
Researchers investigate the spatial organization of cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment.
Stem cell research showing new possibilities for treating infant heart disease
Enzo Porrello said he is working to develop stem cell treatments that can target the root cause of heart disease to ultimately avoid the need for transplantation.
Researchers identify genetic markers linked to neuropathic pain
European researchers have mapped the most comprehensive phenotyping of neuropathic pain and identified genetic markers associated with this serious condition.
Machine learning reveals distinct clinical states in pneumonia patients
Two patients being treated for pneumonia, an infection that causes difficulty breathing due to fluid-filled sacs in the lungs, can look vastly different and have opposing outcomes. Yet doctors struggle to accurately predict patients' prognoses and determine the most effective treatments.
Non-invasive ultrasound therapy targets brain disorders, offers hope
Ultrasound, once used almost exclusively to take images of the body, is quickly developing into a targeted therapy that can have a potentially life-changing impact on our brains, according to the authors of a new article.
Patient symptom information enhances MRI accuracy for lumbar spine diagnosis
Knowing a patient's symptoms helps radiologists in lumbar spine MRI interpretation and diagnosis, according to a study published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
Researchers develop new approach to predict immunotherapy response in breast cancer patients
Using computational tools, researchers from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have developed a method to assess which patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer could benefit from immunotherapy.
Researchers identify genetic markers for cardiovascular disease
A team of researchers from Girona Biomedical Research Institute Dr. Josep Trueta (IDIBGI), Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL), IRB Barcelona, Institut Català d'Oncologia (ICO), Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) has worked together to identify possible genes associated with certain metabolites - molecules involved in the body's biochemical processes - and cardiovascular risk.
