Pain Relief Caused by SARS-CoV-2 Infection May Help Explain COVID-19 Spread

Research shows SARS-CoV-2 promotes pain relief through the receptor neuropilin-1, which gives scientists a new target for non-opioid pain therapeutics and offers one possible explanation for the ...

Prostate Cancer: Immunotherapy Offers Hope

An antibody for treating advanced prostate cancer improves progression-free survival in patients with metastasized, castration-resistant prostate cancer. This is the finding of the long-term analyses ...

Cancer Cells Use Nerve-Cell Tricks to Spread from One Organ to the Next

New research suggests that breast and lung tumors metastasize by hijacking a neural signaling pathway, potentially opening the door to better diagnostics and ...

Strong Activation of Anti-Bacterial T Cells Linked to Severe COVID-19

A type of anti-bacterial T cells, so-called MAIT cells, are strongly activated in people with moderate to severe COVID-19 disease, according to a new ...

High Throughput Screening Identifies Molecules That Reduce Cellular Stress

A new article describes the discovery of several promising small molecules that appear to reduce cellular stress in mouse skin cells and could lengthen ...

Counties With Persistent Poverty Rates Experience Higher Rates of Cancer Deaths

Residents of counties that experience persistent poverty face a disproportionately high risk of cancer ...

Genetic Testing Cost Effective for Newly Diagnosed GIST

Researchers reported that genetic testing is cost-effective and beneficial for newly diagnosed patients with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), a rare type of ...

Memory Training for the Immune System

The immune system will memorize the pathogen after an infection and can therefore react promptly after reinfection with the same pathogen. Now, scientists have deciphered new details of this ...

Cancer's Hidden Vulnerabilities

To fight cancer more effectively, a researcher probes its inner workings for metabolic ...

New Vulnerability Found in Lung Squamous Cancer May Facilitate Drug Targeting

New cancer research shows the potential for targeting a specific circular RNA, known as CDR1as, to attack lung squamous cell ...

Women Could Conceive After Ovarian Tumors, Study Shows

Women receiving fertility-sparing surgery for treatment of borderline ovarian tumors were able to have children, a new study ...

New Analytical Model Detects Mutations in Breast Cancer

Researchers have developed a computational model which is effective in detecting and identifying genetic mutations in breast tumors. The study, the largest of its kind in the world, includes results ...

Opening an Autophagy Window as the Apoptosis Door Starts to Close

Researchers have successfully attached the cancer cell-targeting antibody Trastuzumab to a previously reported supermolecule that induces autophagic cell death. The antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) ...

Novel Dual CAR T Cell Immunotherapy Holds Promise for Targeting the HIV Reservoir

A recent study describes a new Dual CAR T cell immunotherapy that can help fight HIV ...

Statins Reduce COVID-19 Severity, Likely by Removing Cholesterol That Virus Uses to Infect

Analyzing anonymized patient medical records, researchers discovered that cholesterol-lowering statins reduced risk of severe COVID-19 infection, while lab experiments uncovered a cellular mechanism ...

'Trojan Horse' Approach to Kill Cancer Cells Without Using Drugs

Cancer cells are killed in lab experiments and tumor growth reduced in mice, using a new approach that turns a nanoparticle into a 'Trojan horse' that causes cancer cells to ...

The Hypnotic Potential of Thalidomide

Researchers demonstrate that the hypnotic and teratogenic effects of thalidomide are ...

Study Sheds Light on Cancer Treatment, COVID-19

Researchers have found that certain treatments for cancer may increase the chance of death if they contract ...

New Way to Halt Leukemia Relapse Shown Promising in Mice

Drugs tackling chronic myelogenous leukemia have completely transformed prognoses of patients over the last couple of decades, with most cases going into remission. But drug resistance can occur, ...

Coffee Associated With Improved Survival in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients

In a large group of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, consumption of a few cups of coffee a day was associated with longer survival and a lower risk of the cancer worsening, researchers ...

Algorithms Uncover Cancers' Hidden Genetic Losses and Gains

Limitations in DNA sequencing technology make it difficult to detect some major mutations often linked to cancer, such as the loss or duplication of parts of chromosomes. Now, methods developed by ...

Keys to Control the 'Driver of Cancer's Aggressiveness'

A dangerous protein named SNAI2 helps cancers metastasize and shields cancer from both the immune system and chemotherapy. Worse, SNAI2 is in a family of proteins that are notoriously hard to fight ...

Engineered Bacteria Churn out Cancer Biomarkers

Pity the glycan. A lab has created these very tools by commandeering simple, single-celled microorganisms - namely E. coli bacteria - and engineering them to explore the complex process of ...
