Virologists in the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine (VMRCVM) at Virginia Tech are looking at how a genetically modified variant of Avian Newcastle disease virus (NDV) can treat human prostate cancer.
After a viral infection, a small percentage of the T cells generated to kill virus-infected cells remain on guard to establish long-term immunity. These so-called memory T cells, which derive from a family of immune cells known as CD8 T cells, engage in a self-renewal process that is essential to their persistence.
A new imaging technology may hold the key to not only stopping heart attacks in their tracks but also preventing them for ever occurring.
Female stem cells derived from muscle have a greater ability to regenerate skeletal muscle tissue than male cells, according to a study at Children?s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC.
An international study involving 467 hospitals in 12 countries found that doctors do a good job of aggressively treating the early stages of heart attacks — even before laboratory tests confirm the diagnosis.
Doctors at the University of Maryland Medical Center are using a new cryotherapy technique to treat cancerous and precancerous conditions of the esophagus.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania?s School of Medicine have discovered that implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) — electric monitoring devices that deliver a lifesaving shock in the event of a cardiac arrest — help patients with heart problems live longer more active lives.
A leading expert on modern day management of cancer is calling for the implementation of proper procedures that would allow NHS patients to top up cancer care in the private sector.
A new way of understanding how highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) spreads among farm birds is published today in PLoS ONE. The study could help analyse the success of different control measures in the event of future outbreaks.
Genetic changes in the gene are responsible for around half of the most serious eczema cases, revealed by researchers at the University of Dundee in Scotland.
