Researchers Developed A New Mutation Prevention System
DNA is a long thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions in the unique genetic code and mere change or even point mutations can lead to life-threatening diseases. These point mutations can transform single cell in the human body into a cancerous tumor or they can turn antibiotic-sensitive into antibiotic-resistant bacteria that cause untreatable infections. In an ideal world,…

Bacteria May Stimulate Pancreatic Cancer by Inhibiting Immune System
In a new study, scientists discovered that bacteria suppress the immune system which in turn promotes pancreatic cancer. The research proposes that targeting the microbiome may make immunotherapy effective against pancreatic cancer. In many types of cancer like liver and colorectal cancer, gut microbiome is studied and it has been observed that it affects the development of cancer. The gut…

Potential Master Switch for Encoding Cancer Immunotherapy
Scientists from The Scripps Research Institute and the University of California discover possible master switch for programming cancer immunotherapy Cancer immunotherapy is a treatment in which immune system is used for treating cancer patients. Mostly cancer cell has a molecule on their surface known as tumour associated antigen(TAA) which can be recognized by the immune system. During infection or tumour…
