Developement of “two-fisted antibody” to kill ovarian cancer
Whats new? A researcher from the University of Virginia School of Medicine with his innovative approach has developed a “two-fisted antibody” to kill ovarian cancer. This new step with some modification can also help to destruct tumor in breast, prostate and other solid tumors. Ovarian cancer is the cancerous growth in the ovary and is the fifth most common cause…

How Malarial Parasites Outrun Human Immune Cells to Cause Malaria
Malarial Parasite is able to cause malaria because it is three times faster than the immune cells which fail to capture the parasite due to their less speed as compared to the parasite. A team of researchers from the University of Heidelberg has found how malarial parasites move faster than their enemy i.e. immune cells. The focus of the study…

The Hotter Your Body, Lesser You are Prone to Tumor
The hotter your body, lesser you are prone to infection, wound and tumors. A new research led by the researchers at the Universities of Warwick and Manchester demonstrated that little rise in temperature of your body fastens the cellular clock whose function is to turn the gene on and off in response to infection. This new finding can help researchers…

Pseudomonas Communicate in Groups to Escape from Antibiotics
A new study led by the team of scientists from the University of Notre Dame and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has found a new defense mechanism used by the bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa to communicate in groups to avoid antibiotics. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pathogen causing diseases like pneumonia, sepsis and other infections. On an encounter with antibiotics, pathogen produces a…

Molecule Initiating Memory T Cell Development
A new research at The Scripps Research Institute has opened the chapter of the enigma that how memory T cells originate. Memory T cells protect against previously encountered pathogens, but their origins are unclear. Memory T cells are a subset of infection- and cancer-fighting T cells. Memory T cells have become “experienced” by having encountered antigen during a prior infection,…

How Viruses Deactivate The Immune System
A new study done in McGill University have revealed a molecular mechanism which can give an answer to the question that how the virus is dodging the immune system and causing chronic infections, such as HIV or hepatitis c virus.
