Stanford University and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia researchers have created a molecular framework for reprogramming immune responses. By either directly altering immune cells or producing proteins that aid immune cells in locating cancer cells, TRACeR-I can be utilized to produce cancer therapies. Immunotherapy is currently being used extensively to treat viral infections, autoimmune disorders, and cancer; nevertheless, its efficacy depends on its capacity to target disease cells precisely. Since human MHC-I proteins come in over 30,000 distinct forms, it is extremely difficult to create therapies that can identify these peptides in broad patient populations and cure a range of illnesses. The first significant discovery was made by Stanford researchers who created TRACeRs, pla...

Recent research suggests that cancer cells might grow more rapidly in space than on Earth, according to a new study. The investigation, conducted by scientists from the University of California, involved sending human cancer cells aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to observe their behavior in microgravity. The study found that the cancer cells exhibited increased growth rates and altered gene expressions compared to cells grown in similar conditions on Earth. Researchers noted that the microgravity environment of space appears to affect cellular processes, potentially accelerating the progression of cancer. This discovery could have significant implications for both space travel and cancer research. Understanding how microgravity influences cancer cells may provide new in...
