New Tfr cell model uncovers molecular switches that restrain antibody responses

For the immune system to effectively combat pathogens, antibody responses must be precisely controlled. So-called follicular regulatory T cells (Tfr cells) play a key role in this process by limiting excessive immune responses and helping to maintain immune tolerance. Researchers

New therapeutic target for cancer identified by revealing how cancer 'hijacks' blueprint f

Anti-angiogenic therapies targeting VEGF have been widely used in cancer treatment, yet their long-term efficacy remains limited. Tumor vascular endothelial cells (TECs) exhibit high adaptive plasticity, enabling them to resist treatment and sustain tumor growth, but the molecula

Could one shot replace weekly GLP-1 drugs? DNA approach shows months-long effects in mice

Scientists at The Wistar Institute have shown that a single injection of a small, circular piece of genetic instruction can produce weight loss and blood glucose control in murine models that lasts up to 10 times as long as incretin-mimicking drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. If sho

Mouse model supports long-held belief that viruses can trigger Parkinson's disease

Scientists usually use animal models when studying Parkinson's disease because these models mimic the disease well. They are limited, however, because they require either gene modifications or the injection of toxicants, which may not accurately represent how the disease occurs i

Almost half of dementia cases could be prevented—but change is needed

Nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented by tackling modifiable risk factors such as physical inactivity, smoking, low education or social isolation, but new Curtin University research suggests current public health approaches are falling short in driving real behavior ch

Are lung cancer tumors hijacking the nervous system?

According to the Cleveland Clinic, a quarter of cancer deaths can be attributed to one source: cachexia. Cachexia is a syndrome that accompanies underlying chronic illness and causes unwanted muscle and fat loss, reducing quality of life and sometimes even limiting treatment opti

Natural regulator may slow several cancers by shutting down fibroblasts, study finds

An international research team co-led by the Institute of Biomedicine and Biotechnology of Cantabria (IBBTEC-CSIC-University of Cantabria) and CIC bioGUNE, member of BRTA, has identified a novel molecular mechanism that helps limit the progression of several types of cancer.
