HONG KONG – The findings of a new collaborative study by Chinese and German scientists suggest that activation in mice of a specific type of immune response, known as a Type 2 (Th2) response, using parasitic worm-derived stimuli, could clear the way to the development of new treatments for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
HONG KONG – The in vivo antileukemic efficacy and safety of a novel combination of apoptosis-regulating drugs seen in a recent study by Australian researchers suggests that inhibition of apoptosis and activation of another type of cell death, necroptosis, warrants clinical investigation as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

HONG KONG – A new study has demonstrated for the first time that nanomolar concentrations of a candidate cancer compound may also have therapeutic value in the field of stem cell therapy and tissue regeneration, Chinese researchers reported in the May 9, 2016, early online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

HONG KONG – A study by Taiwanese researchers has demonstrated that two glycoproteins are highly expressed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cancer stem cells, and they play a key role in the tumorigenicity of the brain cancer. Both represent promising new potential therapeutic targets against the largely incurable disease.

HONG KONG – A recent study by scientists at the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences of the Faculty of Medicine at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has identified a potential new therapeutic target for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is the leading cause of central vision loss in the elderly.

HONG KONG — Elucidation of the molecular structure of nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) from the Zika virus by Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) researchers shows that NS1 is involved in viral pathogenesis, a finding that could lead to new diagnostic technologies and treatments, including for related pathogens such as dengue and West Nile viruses.
