New Maintenance Treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukemia Prolongs the Lives of Patients

Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the most common form of acute leukemia in adults, that has gone into remission following initial ...

CRISPR-Edited CAR T Cells Enhance Fight Against Blood Cancers

Knocking out a protein known to stifle T cell activation on CAR T cells using the CRISPR/Cas9 technology enhanced the engineered T cells' ability to eliminate blood ...

Microbes in the Gut Could Be Protective Against Hazardous Radiation Exposure

Scientists showed that mice exposed to potentially lethal levels of total body radiation were protected from radiation damage if they had specific ...

Seasonal Flu Vaccinations Don't 'Stick' Long-Term in Bone Marrow

Seasonal flu vaccination does increase the number of antibody-producing cells specific for flu in the bone marrow. However, most of the newly generated cells are lost within one year, researchers ...

A study provides powerful new insights into how bone marrow tissue ...

When Hyperactive Proteins Trigger Illnesses

Autoimmune diseases, in which the body's own immune system attacks healthy tissue, can be life-threatening and can impact all organs. A research team has now found a possible cause for these ...

Two Anti-Viral Enzymes Transform Pre-Leukemia Stem Cells Into Leukemia

Viral infections and space travel similarly trigger inflammation and the enzymes APOBEC3C and ADAR1; researchers are developing ways to inhibit them as a means to potentially lower cancer risk for ...

Creating a Safe CAR T-Cell Therapy to Fight Solid Tumors in Children

Scientists modify CAR T-Cell therapy, making it more effective and less toxic, for possible use in solid tumors such as ...

New Drug Combination Shows Promise as Powerful Treatment for AML

Scientists have identified two drugs that are potent against acute myeloid leukemia (AML) when combined, but only weakly effective when used alone. The researchers were able to significantly enhance ...

Reducing Treatment-Related Complication for Blood Cancer Patients

Researchers published promising findings on preventing a common complication to lifesaving blood stem cell transplantation in ...

Discovery of Aging Mechanism for Hematopoietic Stem Cells

By transferring mouse aged hematopoietic stem cells (aged HSCs) to the environment of young mice (bone marrow niche), it was demonstrated that the pattern of stem cell gene expression was rejuvenated ...

Stem Cell Transplantation: Undesirable Rejection Mechanism Identified

In the treatment of leukemia, stem cell transplantation subsequent to chemotherapy and radiation can often engender severe adverse inflammatory reactions - especially in the skin or in the gut, since ...

Predicting the Risk of Severe Side Effects of Cancer Treatment

The risk of serious adverse effects on the blood status and bone marrow of patients during chemotherapy can be predicted by a new model. This research may make it possible to use genetic analysis to ...

Young Survivors of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Have Long-Term Complications from Treatment

Adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients treated for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have a high risk of developing several long-term health complications after treatment, a study has found. The most ...

The Natural Artistry of Disease: A Wintry Landscape in the Eye

Researchers report a case of frosted branch angiitis in a woman presenting years after being treated for leukemia-lymphoma with allogeneic human stem cell transplant. The relevance of this ocular ...

'BAH-Code' Reader Senses Gene-Silencing Tag in Cells

Researchers have identified an evolutionarily conserved pathway responsible for 'closing down' gene activity in the mammalian cell. The finding is closely related to the Polycomb pathway ...

Priming the Immune System to Attack Cancer

New research showed how immune 'training' transforms innate immune cells to target tumors. The findings could inform new approaches to cancer immunotherapy or even strategies for preventing ...

Cancer's Dangerous Renovations to Our Chromosomes Revealed

Cancer remodels the architecture of our chromosomes so the disease can take hold and spread, new research ...

New Therapeutic Approach Against Leukemia

Using an RNA molecule complex, researchers can prevent retention of cancer stem cell in their tumor supporting ...

Bone Loss: Perforated Bone Tissue from Too Little Sugar

Bone marrow cancer is currently an incurable disease that affects about 400 people in Norway every year. One Norwegian researcher has now found an important reason for bone destruction in people with ...

New Way to Halt Leukemia Relapse Shown Promising in Mice

Drugs tackling chronic myelogenous leukemia have completely transformed prognoses of patients over the last couple of decades, with most cases going into remission. But drug resistance can occur, ...

Researchers Use Soy to Improve Bone Cancer Treatment

Researchers showed that the slow release of soy-based chemical compounds from a 3D-printed bone-like scaffold resulted in a reduction in bone cancer cells while building up healthy cells and reducing ...

Scientists Develop First Drug-Like Compounds to Inhibit Elusive Cancer-Linked Enzymes

Structural biology techniques helped researchers target the nuclear receptor-binding SET domain family for the first time; its malfunction is associated with several types of ...
