Sepsis, a life-threatening complication of infections, poses a severe threat to cancer patients, whose compromised immune systems make them highly susceptible. In a study published in Science Bulletin, researchers led by Hong-Da Chen from the Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences

Recently, a research group led by Dr. JIANG Yanyi from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with Dr. LIN Dechen’s team at the University of Southern California, USA, revealed the tumor-extrinsic function of master regulator transcription factor-TP63 in promoting immune

Vaccinia viruses are therapeutic tools with different biomedical applications depending on the susceptibility characteristics. For example, the strain called MVA (modified vaccinia Ankara), which is unable to replicate in mammalian cells, triggers a potent immune system response and is used to develop vaccines against COVID-19

Enhancing drug development for life-threatening diseases like cancer hinges on a deep understanding of protein kinases, making it a focal point for researchers. These enzymes, encoded by more than 500 human genes, serve as critical players in cellular signaling pathways. However, if these signals are

MIAMI, FLORIDA (MAY 23, 2024) – The treatment landscape for multiple myeloma, the second most common blood cancer, is shifting rapidly, with newly diagnosed patients increasingly being treated with a four-part drug combination that includes a new immunotherapy agent.

Collagen, a major component of the extracellular matrix, plays a crucial role in tumor development. During the development of tumors (“tumorigenesis”), collagen fibers become linearized and densely deposited, hindering immune cell infiltration and promoting tumor metastasis. However, quantifying these collagen changes during melanoma progression has
