Parasite-activated immunity may be able to suppress arthritis

June 8, 2016
By John Fox
HONG KONG – The findings of a new collaborative study by Chinese and German scientists suggest that activation in mice of a specific type of immune response, known as a Type 2 (Th2) response, using parasitic worm-derived stimuli, could clear the way to the development of new treatments for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Combination may induce necroptosis to treat AML

May 25, 2016
By John Fox
HONG KONG – The in vivo antileukemic efficacy and safety of a novel combination of apoptosis-regulating drugs seen in a recent study by Australian researchers suggests that inhibition of apoptosis and activation of another type of cell death, necroptosis, warrants clinical investigation as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

New therapeutic target identified against glioblastoma

May 11, 2016
By John Fox
HONG KONG – A study by Taiwanese researchers has demonstrated that two glycoproteins are highly expressed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cancer stem cells, and they play a key role in the tumorigenicity of the brain cancer. Both represent promising new potential therapeutic targets against the largely incurable disease.
