by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Mass spectrometry analysis reveals HSPCs-derived exosomes are enriched in proteins involved in adhesion and migration. Proteomics analysis of the cargo was performed to uncover putative functions of the isolated exosomes. The KEGG pathways and the Biological Processes from Gene Ontology analysis that were enriched in the KG1a (pink)...

By silencing the molecular pathway that prevents macrophages from attacking our own cells, Penn Engineers have manipulated these white blood cells to eliminate solid tumors. Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. at over 600,000 deaths...
Andrew Gregory Health editor in Chicago Thousands of bowel cancer patients could be spared radiotherapy, a study suggests, after doctors discovered they could rely on chemotherapy and surgery alone to treat their disease. Radiotherapy has been used to treat bowel cancer patients for decades, but the side-effects can be brutal. It can cause problems that...
By Julie Steenhuysen June 06, 2023 CHICAGO (Reuters) – Adding an experimental mRNA-based vaccine from Moderna Inc and Merck & Co reduced the risk that the most deadly skin cancer would spread by 65% over treatment with an immunotherapy alone in a mid-stage trial, the companies reported on Monday. With this and earlier data, Moderna is considering...
