Glioblastoma erodes skull and disrupts immune system, study reveals
October 07, 2025 በAI የተዘገበ
Researchers have discovered that glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer, extends beyond the brain by eroding the skull and altering the immune cells in skull marrow. This interaction fuels the cancer's progression and explains why current treatments often fail. The findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggest new strategies targeting both brain and bone.
Nobel prize in medicine awarded to trio for immune tolerance work
October 07, 2025 በAI የተዘገበ
The 2025 Nobel prize in physiology or medicine has been awarded to Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi for discovering a key immune cell that prevents the body from attacking itself. Their work revealed regulatory T-cells and the FOXP3 gene's role in controlling autoimmune responses. This breakthrough has opened new avenues for treating autoimmune diseases and cancers.
Cellular Treatment Outperforms Chemo in Cancer Models
September 15, 2025 በAI የተዘገበ
A new treatment tested in brain organoids with glioblastoma outperformed chemotherapy and dramatically reduced tumors in mice. Human trials are upcoming. The approach also explores stem cell stimulation and aging cell rejuvenation for broader immunotherapy applications.
