Among the most promising frontiers in this field is the transplantation of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, a technique that holds the potential to revolutionize the treatment of conditions that lead […]
Read More »Adaptive immunity, also known as acquired immunity or specific immunity, is a subsystem of the overall immune system that provides a tailored defense against specific pathogens. Unlike the innate immune system which offers broad protection, the adaptive immune system is highly specialized to fight each particular pathogen the body encounters.
Read More »Cytokine-Induced Killer (CIK) cells are a cutting-edge immunotherapy tool used to treat cancer and boost immune function. These specialized cells, which are a combination of T cells and natural killer (NK) cells, are harvested from the patient’s blood, activated, and expanded in a laboratory. This process takes several steps, all overseen by a medical team. […]
Read More »When it comes to modern medicine, advancements in cancer treatment and immune system rejuvenation are among the most exciting fields of study. One such breakthrough involves Cytokine-Induced Killer (CIK) cells. These specialized immune cells are showing promise in the fight against cancer and even offer potential for rejuvenating the immune system, helping our bodies combat […]
Read More »Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. As tumors grow, they often face hypoxia – low oxygen conditions. Cancer cells adapt to hypoxia by increasing glucose uptake to fuel their rapid growth. A protein called HIF-1α plays a key role in this process.
Read More »Space travel has long captured our imaginations, with visions of exploring distant planets and expanding human civilization beyond Earth. However, the harsh environment of space poses many challenges and health risks for astronauts, especially for long-duration missions. A recent article published in Nature sheds light on a critical but often overlooked aspect – how space […]
Read More »The liver has an amazing ability to repair itself after injury. However, as we age, the liver becomes more prone to developing fibrosis or scarring after damage occurs. Fibrosis impairs normal liver function and can progress to serious conditions like cirrhosis and liver failure.A new study published in Scientific Reports sheds light on how the […]
