Engineering Trojan-horse bacteria to fight cancer.
In this issue of Blood, Massa et al demonstrated that tumor-tropic bacteria engineered to express specific cancer-related antibodies can recognize and specifically destroy the malignant cells by infecting them with toxic cargo. The findings provide an essential step in establishing the novel approach of enlisting engineered bacteria that speak cancer’s language to outsmart and defeat cancer
متن کاملHelping Cancer Patients to Fight with Infection
نوتروپنی در صورتی که منجر به شوک عفونی گردد، میتواند باعث مرگ بیمار شود مقابله با عفونت، شامل بررسی دقیق، مراقبت های پیشگیری کننده و مداخله به موقع می باشد. بیماران سرطانی بستری در بیمارستانها، اغلب در معرض خطر عفونت قرار دارند. بویژه اگر احتیاج به درمان شدید با روش های تشخیمی داشته باشند. هرگونه عفونت می تواند تهدیدی برای زندگی بیماران دارای نوتروپنی محسوب شود.
متن کاملTumour immunology: T cells work together to fight cancer
A central question in tumour immunology is whether a tumour-specific immune response is capable of controlling tumour progression in cancer patients. Although several animal models have established the role of tumour-specific CD4+ helper and CD8+ cytotoxic T cells in antitumour immunity, a definitive role for these cells in tumour-specific immunity in patients with cancer has yet to be shown. I...
متن کاملNew drugs engineered to fight asthma.
Building a 2,000-square-foot house leaves about a ton of gypsum wallboard waste from end cuts, window and door cutouts, and broken boards. In the United States, three million tons of gypsum wallboard waste is dumped in landfills each year. In addition to depleting space, microbial action can decompose gypsum to malodorous hydrogen sulfide gas, which at high enough exposures can cause irritation...
متن کاملTargeting Misfolded Proteins to Fight Neurodegenerative Diseases
With the assistance of proteins called chaperones, newly translated proteins fold into the three-dimensional shapes that are critical to their function. When proteins fold abnormally or become unstable, the consequences can be dire for cells, particularly neurons, which are exquisitely sensitive to the accumulation of misfolded proteins. Many neurodegenerative diseases, like Parkinson’s and Cre...
