Tumor-Directed Radiotherapy Upregulates the Immune Response
In the current issue of Diagnostics, Wu, Pfeifer and colleagues demonstrate how targeted radionuclide anti-tumor therapy upregulates specific cells of the immune system, advancing understanding of the host immune response to treatment and facilitating the optimization of dosage and protocols for improved patient outcomes.
More InfoArthropod Appreciation Day
Soil arthropods, invertebrate animals with exoskeletons, including ants, termites and millipedes, munch their way through plant litter that ends up as the nutrient rich soil upon which complex terrestrial life depends. Most of us, though, are likely only dimly aware of the essential roles arthropods play in maintaining ecosystems. We are more apt to regard […]
More InfoGood News for BAD (Bile Acid Diarrhoea)
Bile acid diarrhoea (BAD) is a common cause of chronic diarrhoea and can be highly debilitating, causing a significant reduction in the quality of life. It is unfortunately under-recognized and under-diagnosed by clinicians as the cause for this common affliction. This is mostly due to current definitive testing requiring expensive and advanced nuclear medicine technology […]
More InfoStroke Protection: a Thrombin Inhibitor Steps Forward
A stroke is the result of loss of adequate blood supply to the brain and is a major cause of disability worldwide, and the second leading cause of death after 60 years of age. Each year roughly 15 million people suffer a stroke and 6 million die from it. Ischemic stroke (versus hemorrhagic) accounts for […]
More InfoA Code by Any Other Name
Advances in next generation sequencing technologies, particularly RNA-seq, have revealed an unexpectedly large extent of human genome transcription, estimated between 60-90%, and propelled the rapidly growing field of transcriptomics. Since protein-coding genes account for less than 3% of the human genome (numbering about 20,000, or half that of Oryza sativa (rice), and about the same […]
More InfoToxic Relationships with Heavy Metals
Chlorinated organic solvents, manufactured in large quantities and widely used in industry for degreasing fats and resins, are among the most prevalent organic pollutants that contaminate groundwater and subsurface soils. Spills and leakages of these compounds in areas with heavy metal contamination have caused difficult to eradicate toxic sites since heavy metals can interfere with […]
