Nobel Prize in medicine goes to trio of scientists for discovering how the immune system is kept in check
Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi will share the prize “for their fundamental discoveries relating to peripheral immune tolerance,” the Nobel Committee announced Monday at a ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden.
Don’t get fooled, The “Stem Cell Therapy” sold in the United States isn’t what you think it is.
Most U.S. clinics offer third party, frozen, diluted, off-the-shelf products with little to no living cells. That’s not real regenerative medicine.
In Panama, patients receive fresh, lab-prepared mesenchymal stem cells, the gold standard worldwide.
New Research Challenges Long-Standing Method For Treating Cancer
Imagine your body's immune defences as a city, and lymph nodes as the hubs where police and firefighters gather fresh intel to launch their attack on criminals. What happens if you remove too many of these hubs? This is a new question at the centre of modern cancer surgery.
Scientists just found cancer cells’ hidden power source
When cancer cells are physically squeezed, they mount an instant, high-energy defense by rushing mitochondria to the cell nucleus, unleashing a surge of ATP that fuels DNA repair and survival. This newly discovered mechanism, visualized in real time with advanced microscopy, shows mitochondria acting like emergency first responders rather than static power plants.
Autism Is Not a Single Condition and Has No Single Cause, Scientists Conclude
Research reveals that those diagnosed with autism early show distinct genetic and developmental profiles from those diagnosed later.
Mitochondria Dump Their Rubbish DNA, And It Could Be Costing Us Our Health
In this study, researchers led by a team from the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Germany analyzed tissue samples from humans and test animals, using mice genetically engineered to be models of aging and disease.
A Study of 500,000 Medical Records Linked Viruses With Alzheimer's Again And Again
A study of around 500,000 medical records published in 2023 suggested that severe viral infections like encephalitis and pneumonia increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
Fat may secretly fuel Alzheimer’s, new research finds
New research from Houston Methodist reveals how obesity may directly drive Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists discovered that tiny messengers released by fat tissue, called extracellular vesicles, can carry harmful signals that accelerate the buildup of amyloid-β plaques in the brain. These vesicles even cross the blood–brain barrier, making them powerful but dangerous connectors between body fat and brain health.
Hidden cellular “power switch” could transform Parkinson’s treatment
Researchers uncovered a key cellular regulator, PP2A-B55alpha, that controls both the cleanup of damaged mitochondria and the creation of new ones. In Parkinson’s disease models, reducing this regulator improved symptoms and mitochondrial health. The findings could inspire new drugs for Parkinson’s, mitochondrial disorders, and even cancer.
The invisible chemical in the air that could be raising Parkinson’s risk
A massive nationwide study has linked long-term exposure to the industrial chemical trichloroethylene (TCE) with a higher risk of Parkinson’s disease in older adults. Researchers examined over 1.1 million people, finding that those living in areas with the highest outdoor TCE levels faced a 10% greater risk of developing Parkinson’s.
Cells Have a Crystal Trigger That Makes Them Self-Destruct When Viruses Invade
The immune system has a tough job: When a tiny virus invades one of our cells, that cell must detect it and, within minutes, decide what to do. If the cell quickly self-destructs, that will prevent the virus from spreading throughout the body. But such a response to a false alarm will mean the cell will die unnecessarily.
Successful experiments reprogram rogue T cells for targeted autoimmune disease therapy
Two teams of researchers have developed a cell reprogramming technology that converts rogue disease-causing T cells from our immune system into protective Tregcells. These cells help ensure that the immune system doesn't attack the body's own tissues. The breakthroughs could usher in more personalized and targeted cell therapies for a host of autoimmune diseases.
Are cancer surgeries removing the body’s secret weapon against cancer?
Scientists have found that preserving lymph nodes during cancer surgery could dramatically improve how patients respond to immunotherapy. The research shows that lymph nodes are essential for training and sustaining cancer-fighting T cells. Removing them may unintentionally weaken the immune response, while keeping them intact could help unlock stronger, longer-lasting treatments.
'Weaponised' CAR T-cell therapy shows promise against solid tumours
Immune cells that have been genetically engineered to kill cancerous cells, known as CAR T-cells, have transformed the treatment of blood cancers such as leukaemia, but have proved largely ineffective against solid tumours. But now, “weaponised” CAR T-cells have eradicated large solid prostate tumours in mice, raising hopes that this approach will work against all kinds of cancer in people.
Integrated epigenetic and genetic programming of primary human T cells
Targeted epigenetic engineering of gene expression in cell therapies would allow programming of desirable phenotypes without many of the challenges and safety risks associated with double-strand break-based genetic editing approaches. Here, we develop an all-RNA platform for efficient, durable and multiplexed epigenetic programming in primary human T cells, stably turning endogenous genes off or on using CRISPRoff and CRISPRon epigenetic editors.
Scientists are racing to grow human teeth in the lab
It’s not surprising that many people fear the dentist. Replacing a tooth often requires invasive surgery and implanting a titanium screw into a patient’s jawbone, then waiting months for that to strengthen into an artificial root, before attaching a crown or cap on top of it.
But research groups around the world are working to find ways to implant or grow real biological teeth in a human jaw.
Teacher becomes first UK patient to receive ‘gamechanger’ therapy for MS
A biology teacher has been given a “gamechanger” therapy to treat multiple sclerosis (MS), becoming the first patient in the UK to receive the procedure.
Experts believe the CAR T-cell treatment will “transform” lives by halting or slowing down progression of the disease. It is custom-built for each patient in the lab.
New Breakthrough Treatment Safely Kills Cancer Cells With Light
Cancer treatment has come a long way, but many of today's therapies still come with steep costs: not just financial, but physical and emotional too. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy remain vital tools, yet they often damage healthy cells alongside cancerous ones, leaving patients exhausted and vulnerable to long-term side effects.
Around the world, researchers are searching for treatments that are both effective and gentle, able to target tumors precisely while sparing the rest of the body.
Breakthrough cancer therapy stops tumor growth without harming healthy cells
Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute and Vividion Therapeutics have discovered chemical compounds that can precisely prevent the cancer-driving gene RAS from connecting with a key pathway responsible for tumor growth.
