Gene clues reveal why some rare leukemia patients resist tagraxofusp therapy

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified why some patients with a rare type of leukemia, called blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), eventually develop resistance to tagraxofusp, the first Food and Drug Administration-appro

Largest study yet reveals which cancers have their own microbiomes

For decades, cancer has been thought of as a purely human disease—rogue cells multiplying out of control, with no room for anything else in the picture. But a growing body of research suggests that isn't quite right. Some tumors, it turns out, come with company: communities of ba

How immune cells in our gut mesentery fight salmonella

Widely recognized as the face of food poisoning, salmonella bacteria lurk in raw meat and poultry, on pets, and in unpasteurized dairy products. If untreated, extreme cases can lead to full-body infections, like typhoid fever. UIC researcher Kiwook Kim wondered why some salmonell

Gut bacteria boost immune system, help send vitamin A to T cells

Scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered that gut bacteria help regulate the development of the body's immune system by directing the movement of vitamin A through a previously unrecognized cellular network. The preclinical findings, published in Cell Host & M

The secret of human intelligence may lie in the power of a single brain cell

What makes the human brain capable of language, imagination, mathematics and invention? For many years, the prevailing view was that the secret of human intelligence lay mainly in scale: the sheer number of neurons in the human brain—close to 100 billion—and the vast network of c

Scientists uncover how fungi 'blind' the immune system—offering new hope against superbugs

Researchers at the University of Sheffield have discovered that a fungus deadly to people with weakened immune systems can disable a critical defense used by neutrophils, the body's front-line, infection-fighting white blood cells.

Team discovers metabolic pathway in cell nucleus that helps cancer progress

A team at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a novel metabolic pathway that plays a key role in enabling cancer to progress through gene activation. In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers show that shutting down the pat
