First-in-class targeted microRNA therapy slows cancer tumor growth
A new cancer therapy developed by Purdue University researchers attacks tumors by tricking cancer cells into absorbing a snippet of RNA that naturally blocks cell division. As reported in Oncogene, tumors treated with the new therapy did not increase in size over the course of a 21-day study, while untreated tumors tripled in size over the same time period. Cancer can begin almost anywhere in the human body. It is characterized by cells that divide uncontrollably and that may be able to ignore signals to die or stop dividing, and even evade the immune system.

Study could help explain why certain brain tumors don ’t respond well to immunotherapy
Key takeawaysImmunotherapy has been effective in treating certain types of cancer, including those that spread into the brain. But it has little effect in fighting glioblastoma, an aggressive cancer that originates in the brain.UCLA-led research revealed that immune checkpoint blockade, a type of immunotherapy, triggers a process that fights tumors more effectively in cancers that spread to the brain than it does in glioblastoma.The finding could help scientists develop strategies for more effective immunotherapy for treating brain cancers that originate in the brain, like glioblastoma.A study led by researchers at the UCL...

The Kidney Project proves its bioreactor can keep kidney cells alive for at least one week
Scientists have shown for the first time that kidney cells —housed in an implantable device called a bioreactor—can survive while implanted and mimic several important kidney functions without triggering the recipient’s immune system to go on the attack.The findings were published inNature Communications on August 29, marking an important step forward for The Kidney Project. School faculty member Shuvo Roy, PhD, and Vanderbilt University Medical Center ’s William H. Fissell, MD, guided the bioartificial kidney from mere idea to functional prototype.
