According to the World Health Organization (WHO), multidrug-resistant pathogens caused over 1.27 million deaths worldwide in 2020. And figures are rising, with projections pointing to antimicrobial resistance surpassing cancer as the leading cause of death by 2050. Now, researchers at the HUN-REN Biological Research Center have unveiled the role of pre-existing genetic variabilities and specific cross-resistance patterns among several antibiotics designed to combat gram-positive bacteria.
Silexion Therapeutics Corp. has released new preclinical results demonstrating the synergistic efficacy of its proprietary second-generation siRNA candidate, SIL-204, in combination with components of first-line chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer.
A global commission has proposed a fundamental change to the way obesity is defined and diagnosed. If the change is implemented, obesity would be considered a health risk in some contexts, and a disease in others. “The commission is reframing obesity... in a way that allows for the nuanced reality of obesity,” Robert Eckel told reporters at a press briefing announcing the proposal, which was published online in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology on Jan. 14, 2025.
T-cell leukemia homeobox protein 3 (TLX3) is a key regulator of fate specification of excitatory neurons and found expressed in proliferating granule neuron progenitors (GNPs) of the cerebellum, but its main role is not well known.
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is an aggressive tumor derived from mature T cells and natural killer cells with an extremely poor prognosis. Ferroptosis is a mechanism of cell death that is dependent on iron characterized by reactive oxygen species accumulation and lipid peroxidation.
A new study published in the Journal for Immunotherapy of Cancer has presented a promising advancement in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
A recent study has introduced a novel class of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2), a protein overexpressed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), one of the deadliest forms of cancer.
A recent study published in Science Translational Medicine has examined a new approach to address inflammatory skin diseases, such as dermatitis and rosacea, by focusing on a specific glutamate receptor in mast cells.
