Chinese medicinal fungus shows promise in treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

A study from China has reported that Cordyceps sinensis (CS), a traditional Chinese medicinal fungus, can ameliorate idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in mice by inhibiting mitochondrion-mediated oxidative stress. [...]

Combination drug strategy produces promising results by hyperactivating oncogenic signaling

A combination of two drugs was capable of suppressing tumors in a non-conventional manner. Instead of inhibiting tumor cell division, as the most widely used medications do, the strategy consisted of hyperactivating oncogenic signaling by these cells to the point where they became stressed. The other drug then attacked the stressed cells. The approach will be tested in colorectal cancer patients in the Netherlands later this year. [...]

Investigating the effect of alemtuzumab in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a commonly used curative therapy for individuals with inborn errors of immunity (IEI). HCT involves introducing stem cells from a compatible donor with the aim of replacing the affected cells in the recipient's body.

Study uncovers key immune cells for combating aggressive Merkel cell carcinoma

Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare but highly aggressive form of skin cancer known for its rapid growth and tendency to metastasize. Despite the promise of immune checkpoint blockade therapy, which can boost the body's immune response against cancer cells, nearly half of patients do not respond to this treatment. A new study published today in Cancer Discovery is providing insights into why some Merkel cell carcinoma patients respond to this type of immunotherapy while others do not. [...]
