Nanoparticles and Cancer Drug Combined to Target Inflammatory Neutrophils
Researchers at Washington State University (WSU) have developed a novel, patent-pending treatment for diseases associated with inflammatory responses, including sepsis, stroke, rheumatoid arthritis, acute lung injury, and atherosclerosis. The new approach, described in Science...
Bioinformatics Tool Tracks Individual Gut Microbial Strain Changes After Antibiotic Use
Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have provided new insights into how antibiotic use in humans can disrupt the communities of bacteria that reside in our gut systems. The team’s studies...

Hyper-Long Telomeres Give Non-Genetically Modified Mice Longer, Healthier Lives
Scientists at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) generated the first mice that have super-long telomeres in every one of their body cells. Studies with the animals showed that in comparison with mice...
Researchers discover how cancer cells can trigger chronic muscle wasting condition
A solid tumor can cause muscle cells in the body to self-destruct. Many cancer patients die from the consequences. Now researchers are discovering more about how cancer cells in a tumor can take control...
Breathalyzer Sniffs Out Potential Cancer Immunotherapy Responders
A prospective observational trial in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has found that an electronic nose device that detects chemicals in the breath can identify with 85% accuracy those patients who...
Anticancer siRNAs Delivered to Cells Using MOF Nanoparticles
Scientists from the University of Cambridge have developed a highly porous type of nanoparticle known as a metal-organic framework (MOF) that can deliver disease gene targeting small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) directly to cells. There...
