The Now, in the journal Nature Metabolism, this team has identified the role played by this pathway as the origin of follicular lymphoma and proposes the exploration in future studies of a possible therapeutic strategy using a drug that is already being used in clinical practice to treat other tumours. Follicular lymphoma is a type…
This therapy caused at least a minimal response in almost 40 percent of patients who had multiple myeloma, but a cancer of a type of white blood cell called a plasma cell. “This study proved that a novel, first-in-class drug with a new mechanism of action can kill a patient’s cancer cells;” said the study’s…
The researches find that the The drug is the first new therapy approved for myleofibrosis in nearly a decade, Celgene said in a statement. Myleofibrosis causes blood-forming bone marrow to be replaced with fibrous scar tissue. Therefore This deprives patients of energy and makes them vulnerable to infection. Blood-forming cells move to the spleen, liver…
The researches find that higher daytime and nighttime systolic blood pressure (SBP) is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and all-cause mortality independent of blood pressure (BP) levels measured in the clinic, according to a study published online Aug. 14 in JAMA Cardiology.

The researches find that the Beta-amyloid plaques, the protein aggregates that form in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, disrupt many brain functions and can kill neurons. Therefore They can also damage the blood-brain barrier the normally tight border that prevents harmful molecules in the bloodstream from entering the brain. MIT engineers have now developed a…
The researches find that the Medical Sciences (UAMS) has received a $542,486, three-year grant from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to look at changes in the DNA sequence that effects the development and advancement of multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells in the blood. The society’s Transitional Research Program award is titled “The Impact…
The researches find that the people will be diagnosed this year in the US with acute myeloid leukemia (AML); the second most common type of leukemia diagnosed in adults and children, and the most aggressive of the leukemias.

The new study find that the Tumor cells circulating in blood are markers for the early detection and prognosis of cancer. However, detection of these cells is challenging because of their scarcity. In the journal Angewandte Chemie; scientists have now introduced an ultrasensitive method for the direct detection of circulating tumor cells in blood samples.…
The researches find that the Alzheimer’s disease, damaging clumps of protein start to build up in their brains. Now, a blood test to detect such early brain changes has moved one step closer to clinical use. Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis report that they can measure levels of the Alzheimer’s…
