Stopping the progression of melanoma with the flip of a genetic switch

A new drug compound could combat tough-to-treat melanoma Melanoma is commonly caused by the damaging effects of ultraviolet light—from sources like sunlight and tanning beds—on the DNA of skin cells. This UV damage can activate genes that encourage precancerous cells to further mutate into full-blown skin cancer. At the same time, UV damage can turn

Could this unique immune cell be the thing driving chronic inflammation

For the first time, researchers have identified that an immune cell subset called gamma delta T cells may be causing and/or perpetuating the systemic inflammation found with normal aging among the general geriatric population and in HIV-infected people who are responding well to drugs (anti-retrovirals). Even with effective viral control, HIV-infected individuals are at a higher risk for
