In adoptive cell therapy (ACT), a patient’s own T cells are genetically modified to target antigens selectively expressed on cancer cells (3, 4). High T-cell evenness is desired to ensure there is an unbiased growth of the polyclonal population and to maximiz...
“The iarc assesses whether [a substance] would be capable of presenting a risk, under any circumstances, even if the only harmful circumstances are really, really unlikely to occur,” said Professor Kevin McConway of the Open University in a statement. The agency that evaluates the actual risk...
Cervical cancerCIN3PrecancerCotestingBackground. The goal of cervical screening is to detect and treat precancers before some become cancer. We wanted to understand why, despite state-of-the-art methods, cervical cancers occured in relationship to programmatic performance at Kaiser Permanente Northern...
In 5 to 10 percent of patients who receive radiation therapy for prostate cancer, there is a side effect that can show up months to years later -- hemorrhagic cystitis. Why does this problem occur in the bladder after radiation treatment to kill cancer cells in the prostate? "The bladder i...
Colon Cancer:Colon cancer is one of the types of cancer that initiates in the colon, the last part of the large intestine. Cancer inside the colon usually starts by forming clumps of cells that are non-cancerous that is benign and are called polyps...
When does crossing over occur? Why is crossing over important? 1. What are all the growth factor signaling pathways? 2. What is the end result of this pathway? Why are second messengers like cAMP needed for cell signaling? What is one disadvantage of signal transduction being a pathway? Def...
A new study has shed light on why immunotherapy does not always work in certain types of cancer. Led by researchers at EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the research delves into why ...
Tumors consisting of glial cells can occur within the central and peripheral nervous system (CNS and PNS, respectively), with those occurring within the CNS referred to as glioma while those within the PNS are referred to as peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Within the CNS, gliomas are the most...
Remembering that behaviours occur in systems helps us use tools like COM-B to create health interventions that are more holistic and consider the underlying cause of behaviours that may need to be changed to improve the target outcome. COM-B asks if the person has the capability of performing ...
Why is there more number of centrioles in cancer cells than in normal cells? Why does a cell undergo mitosis? What controls when and how fast cells grow and divide? Why do eukaryote cells have telomeres? Why do somatic cells not have telomerase?
