Study discoveries help clarify the variety of cancers in various Li-Fraumeni patients Kumar Jeetendra | February 23, 2021 The most frequently mutated gene in human cancers is called p53. Patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, which is a rare disorder that increases the risk of developing several kinds of cancer, often have an increased risk to develop cancers at early ages if they inherit p53 mutations. Recent studies suggest that some people with inherited p53 …
New expected objective for treating metastasized oral malignant melanoma in dogs Kumar Jeetendra | April 23, 2021 Scientists have shown that the biological molecule PD-L1 is a possible target for the treatment of metastasized oral malignant melanoma in dogs. There are a number of cancers that affect dogs, but there are far fewer diagnosis and treatment options for these canine cancers. However, because dogs and humans are both mammals, it is very …
UCL researchers distinguish new immunotherapy to battle hepatitis B infection Kumar Jeetendra | May 15, 2021 Researchers at UCL have identified a new immunotherapy to fight the hepatitis B virus (HBV), the most frequent cause of liver cancer in the world. The pioneering study used immune cells isolated directly from patient liver and tumour tissue, to demonstrate that targeting acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT), an enzyme which helps to manage cholesterol levels in …
Scientists create stable cell lines equipped for delivering different hepatitis B virus genotypes Kumar Jeetendra | February 15, 2022 A new study has created cells that can be stable and capable to produce different strains of the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) which is helping to improve understanding of the distinctive virological characteristics treatments, virological features, and infectivity, which could lead to the development of new treatments against the virus that infects humans as long …
