Novel Gene Therapy Approach Kills Glioblastoma Tumors in Vitro and in VivoNovel Gene Therapy Approach Kills Glioblastoma Tumors in Vitro and in Vivo

Gene therapy to increase expression of the enzyme Emx2 (Homeobox protein Emx2) in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumor cells was shown to destroy the cancer in vitro and prevent its recurrence in vivo. More...

Image: Follicular helper T-cells (TFH cells, shown in blue) play a crucial role in the maturation of antibody-producing B-cells (shown in green). Activated B-cells give rise germinal centers (shown in red), where mature B-cells proliferate and produce highly specific antibodies against pathogens. Top left: normal germinal center in a mouse tonsil. All others: Germinal centers fail to form when the interaction between ICOS and TBK1 is interrupted (Photo courtesy of Dr. Kok-Fai Kong, La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology).

Molecular Pathway Controlling High-affinity Antibody Production Identified

A molecular pathway has been identified that controls formation of follicular helper T-cells (TFH cells) germinal centers and production of high-affinity antibodies through interaction with the inducible costimulator ICOS via the kinase TBK1 (TANK-binding kinase 1). More...

Image: Researchers have shown how controlling cholesterol metabolism in pancreatic cancer cells reduces metastasis to other organs, pointing to a potential new treatment. Findings showed a higher number of metastatic lesions in organs of untreated and treated mice, shown at top and bottom, respectively (Photo courtesy of Dr. Junjie Li, Purdue University).

Inhibition of Cholesterol Esterification Suppresses Growth of Pancreatic Cancer Cells

A team of cancer researchers has suggested that controlling cholesterol metabolism within tumor cells represents a novel approach towards treating the disease. More...
