The promise of stem cell technologies for treating Parkinson’s

Despite challenges, new advances in stem cell biology and genetic engineering show potential for better cell replacement therapies, say experts in a special supplement to JPD Cell replacement may play an increasing role in alleviating the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) in future. Writing in an open access special supplement to the Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, experts describe how

Fecal microbiota transplantation could offset harsh effects of antibiotics in cancer patients

NIAID-funded study could offset harsh effects of antibiotics. Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have shown that autologous fecal microbiota transplantation (auto-FMT) is a safe and effective way to help replenish beneficial gut bacteria in cancer patients who require intense antibiotics during allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In their study, patients who underwent the

Using ultrasound to remotely control a cancer immunotherapy system

A team of researchers has developed an ultrasound-based system that can non-invasively and remotely control genetic processes in live immune T cells so that they recognize and kill cancer cells. There is a critical need to non-invasively and remotely manipulate cells at a distance, particularly for translational applications in animals and humans, researchers said. The

Complete cure for colorectal cancer?

Novel three-step pretargeted radioimmunotherapy offers safe, effective treatment Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston have developed a new, three-step system that uses nuclear medicine to target and eliminate colorectal cancer. In this study with a mouse model, researchers achieved a 100-percent cure rate—without any

A new way to combat cancer at the cellular level: Block it

New findings published in Nature Chemical Biology show promise for finding new solutions to treat lung cancer and other deadly diseases. Kentucky continues to lead the nation in incidence and death rates from lung cancer, and the University of Kentucky is committed to reducing these numbers. According to the National Cancer Institute, cancer is among the leading causes

A single gene turns colorectal cancer cells back into normal tissue in mice

Anti-cancer strategies generally involve killing off tumor cells. However, cancer cells may instead be coaxed to turn back into normal tissue simply by reactivating a single gene, according to a study published June 18th in the journal Cell. Researchers found that restoring normal levels of a human colorectal cancer gene in mice stopped tumor growth and

‘Huge breakthrough’ in understanding how the immune system recognises cancer

US researchers have revealed(link is external) the identity of molecules on the surface of cancer cells which allow the body’s immune system to identify and destroy them. The research could lead to a new generation of immunotherapies that are far more effective than those currently in use, that could target a range of cancers. “This

Handheld scanner could make brain tumor removal more complete, reducing recurrence

Cancerous brain tumors are notorious for growing back despite surgical attempts to remove them — and for leading to a dire prognosis for patients. But scientists are developing a new way to try to root out malignant cells during surgery so fewer or none get left behind to form new tumors. The method, reported in

Handheld scanner could make brain tumor removal more complete, reducing recurrence

Genetically Modified T Cells Induced Complete Remissions in 88 Percent of Advanced Leukemia Patients Treated

Cell Therapy Shows Remarkable Ability to Eradicate Cancer in Clinical Study Investigators from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have reported more encouraging news about one of the most exciting methods of cancer treatment today. The largest clinical study ever conducted to date of patients with advanced leukemia found that 88 percent achieved complete remissions after being treated
