Australian researchers have discovered that the TAK1 gene helps cancer cells survive attack from the immune system, revealing a mechanism that may limit the effectiveness of immunotherapy treatments.
Researchers at Tel Aviv University achieved a medical milestone once thought impossible: creating a living, beating human heart using a patient’s own fat cells.
Researchers have developed a new compact Raman imaging system that is sensitive enough to differentiate between tumor and normal tissue. The system offers a promising route to earlier cancer detection and to making molecular imaging more practical outside the lab.
The Accuro 3S Needle Guide Kit, designed for use with the Accuro 3S ultrasound imaging system and Dual-Array transducer, includes single-use, sterile components that support infection control and promote workflow efficiency
The KPAP sleep therapy platform is developed to offer an adaptive and patient-focused alternative to traditional CPAP therapy
At TU Wien, researchers are developing three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques that can be used to create living biological tissue—for example, to study skin diseases.
As rates of obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea increase, cases of advanced chronic liver disease and resulting liver scarring or cirrhosis also are rising. Patients are often diagnosed based on symptoms, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, fluid retention or jaundice, which happen when liver disease has progressed to a late stage.
Their next target is to use this technology in CAR T-cell immunotherapy, which reprograms the immune system to hunt and destroy cancer cells.
Lung cancer is the second-most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Over 80% of lung cancers are non-small cell lung cancers, in which tumor cells are larger and grow more slowly than those in small cell lung cancer.
Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, uses a sophisticated tactic to evade the human body’s defense system
