FMRP – the protein behind immunotherapy resistance

Immunotherapy is a cutting-edge approach to treating cancer by turning the patient’s own immune system against their tumor. Despite success rates, immunotherapy has time and again met with a stubborn obstacle: tumor cells often evade the “radar” of immune cells seeking to destroy them. This in turn leads to treatment resistance, which in many cases […]

Researchers discover protein facilitates relapse of pediatric brain tumors

The malignant brain tumor type medulloblastoma can become resistant to therapy, which can cause relapse. Researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden have discovered a protein that makes tumor cells insensitive to radiation treatment. The scientists hope the results could lead to better treatments for children with the highest risk to develop relapses. Avoiding treatment Medulloblastoma […]

Google and Meta AI could boost cancer research and drug discovery

Encoded in the DNA, a protein may be represented as a thread of hundreds of individual molecules called amino acids, linked together. Depending on the particular amino acids combination, a protein folds in a particular way, resulting in a functional 3D shape. The shape makes the function, and with 20 different amino acids available, the […]

New method of observing cell transport could inspire drug development

Membrane proteins are key targets for many drugs. Some of them, called transporters, move certain substances in and out of the cellular environment. Yet, extracting and storing them for observation is particularly complex. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) in Switzerland, in collaboration with the University of Zurich (UZH), has developed an innovative […]
