A groundbreaking study led by engineering and medical researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities shows how engineered immune cells used in new cancer therapies can overcome physical barriers to allow a patient’s own immune system to fight tumors. The research could improve cancer therapies in the future for […]
Men now have one more compelling reason to get a COVID-19 vaccine—doctors suspect the new coronavirus could make it hard to perform in the bedroom. How? Coronavirus infection is already known to damage blood vessels, and vessels that supply blood to the penis appear to be no exception. Researchers armed […]
Today in Nature Communications, researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah report critical new insights into how cells mount an attack against melanoma tumors. Melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer that can arise from excess exposure to sun, frequent sunburns, genetics, and other environmental factors. […]
A team studying malignant brain tumors has developed a new technique for predicting how individual patients will respond to chemoradiation, a major step forward in efforts to personalize cancer treatment. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin’s Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) […]
Artificial intelligence has made leaps and bounds in medical science, helping doctors perform the most complex surgeries with greater accuracy than ever before. Now, as startling as it may sound, a new algorithm has been developed by researchers of Stanford University which can assess the correct time of demise of […]
Researchers in Japan have compiled a first-of-its-kind genetic database for autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases. This resource will allow experts to more deeply understand how immune disorders develop and plan future drug discovery projects. Scientists also hope this atlas of immune-related genome data may eventually be applied to investigations of infectious […]
Dr. Izabela Ragan, an assistant professor at Colorado State University, is working in her dream job. A veterinary scientist by training, she said she always wanted to work in a research setting, adding that she likes taking an idea and moving it forward into the different phases of discovery. Ragan […]
A new research paper examining the relationship between the Omega-3 Index and risk for death from any and all causes has been published in Nature Communications. It showed that those people with higher omega-3 EPA and DHA blood levels (i.e., Omega-3 Index) lived longer than those with lower levels. In […]
Japan’s third most populated region will on Tuesday ask the central government to impose a state of emergency over the coronavirus as infections rise just three months before the country hosts the Olympics. Osaka prefecture only lifted a state of emergency two months ago and restrictions are expected to be […]
Too cute! Karlie Kloss shared a photo of her new baby with her husband, Joshua Kushner, and revealed the newborn’s name. A Timeline of Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner’s Relationship “Levi Joseph,” the model, 28, wrote via Instagram on Friday, April 16, captioning a picture of herself holding the baby’s […]
