Recent developments in cancer research have highlighted the vital role of the immune system, particularly in the notable successes of cancer immunotherapy. Now, a paradigm-shifting study led by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York in collaboration with the University of Helsinki and Massachusetts General Hospital sheds light on how variations in immune genetics influence lung cancer risk, potentially paving the way for enhanced prevention strategies and screening. The findings were described in the February 22 online issue of Science.

The findings out of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute highlight that the mechanisms of immune modulation are different in patients treated with immunotherapy and anti-angiogenic combinations. The results also point to the role of tumor biology in the diversity and actions of tumor-infiltrating immune cells brought into action by these treatments. The findings might be important for predicting or understanding treatment outcomes in advanced kidney cancer.
Funding will also support researching other complex illnesses and medical education

أوستن، ولاية مينيسوتا — يتفاوت لون البول الطبيعي ولكنه عادةً ما يتراوح بين الشفاف والأصفر الباهت. ولكن اللون الدقيق يعتمد على كمية المياه التي تشربها، حيث تخفف السوائل من الأصباغ الصفراء في البول. فكلما أكثرت من السوائل، زادت شفافية البول. ولكن عندما تشرب كمية أقل، يصبح اللون الأصفر داكنًا أكثر.
Painting a sobering picture, a research team led by Children’s National Hospital culled years of data demonstrating that maternal mental illness is an under-recognized contributor to the death of new mothers.
A cor habitual da urina varia, mas normalmente se apresenta entre translúcida e amarela clara. A cor exata depende da quantidade de água ingerida. Os líquidos diluem os pigmentos amarelos na urina. Então, quanto mais água bebermos, mais clara ela será. Quanto menos bebermos, mais intensa ficará a cor amarela.
The largest EU research initiative ever launched has come to a successful end: The Graphene Flagship was officially concluded at the end of last year. Empa researchers were also involved, such as molecular biologist Peter Wick, who was part of the Health and Environment work package from the very beginning – and has just summarized the findings in this area with international colleagues in a comprehensive review article in the specialist journal ACS Nano.
El color regular de la orina cambia, pero generalmente varía de claro a amarillo pálido. El tono exacto depende de la cantidad de agua que se beba. Los líquidos diluyen los pigmentos amarillos de la orina. Entonces, cuanto más beba, más clara será la orina. Cuanto menos beba, la orina será más amarilla.

Scientists report a major step toward a simple blood test for Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Lund University in Sweden showed that a blood test is as good at identifying people in early stages of the disease as cerebrospinal fluid tests approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Alzheimer’s diagnosis. The findings indicate that a blood test soon may replace more expensive and invasive brain scans and spinal taps for detecting signs of Alzheimer’s in the brain.
