Research reveals that restricted blood circulation (ischemia) drives cancer growth by reprogramming stem cells and impairing immune responses. Peripheral artery disease is linked to faster breast tumor growth.
A plant virus (CPMV) shows promise as an immunotherapy against metastatic cancer in mice. It stimulates interferons and immune responses, offering a low-cost alternative for clinical trials. Cancer cells are destroyed.
Research reveals immune system over-activation in spastic paraplegia type 15. Microglia changes and killer T-cells contribute to neuronal damage, suggesting potential immune-based therapies for this neurodegenerative disease.
