Discovery of 'new rules of the immune system' could improve treatment of inflammatory diseases, say scientists

Science Daily: Pharmacology News

Tests, in mice, of a drug developed by the researchers showed that regulatory T cells can be attracted to specific body parts, boosted in number, and activated to suppress immune response and rebuild tissue. Clinical trials in humans are now planned.

Why brain cancer is often resistant to immunotherapy

Broad Institute

In a new study in Nature , the researchers found four gene expression programs sets of genes with coordinated activity that either suppress the immune system or make it more active. Clustering cells As a pathology resident, Miller watched treatment after treatment fail in patients with gliomas.
