High-Speed Fluorescence Image-Enabled Cell Sorting Tested

Cell sorting through flow cytometry is a technique that enables scientists to identify and sort individual cells based on specific characteristics of each cell in order to study them in more detail, evaluate how each cell may react to a new drug or perform other single cell studies. More...

ABO Blood Group Related to Specific Immune Response to Anti-SARS-CoV-2

Markers of the protective humoral response, such as total anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulins and neutralizing antibodies, have been observed to decrease in convalescent individuals, even though a potential long-lasting humoral B-cell memory subset was detected. More...

Melanoma Test Offers Reassurance of Low Risk of Cancer Spread

Cutaneous melanoma is an aggressive form of skin cancer with an increasing worldwide incidence, particularly in the younger population. Although treatment for patients with metastatic melanoma has improved remarkably in the last decade, principally with targeted therapies and immune checkpoint modulators, there are still no consistently beneficial treatments for patients with metastatic disease. More...

Immune System Can Detect Disease During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a challenge for the mother's immune system from the outset. Half of the genes in the fetus are foreign to her body. The immune system has to strike a balance between tolerating the fetus and protecting the mother and fetus from infections. Throughout the pregnancy, an immunological balance takes place between mother and child. More...

Natural Killer Cell-Associated Markers Investigated in Gastric Cancer

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Although the survival rates of GC patients have increased with proper screening systems, standardized surgical protocols, and development of chemotherapy regimens, the general outcome of GC patients, especially those in advanced stages, remains poor. More...

Regulatory and Other Rheumatoid Factors Analyzed in RA Patients

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term autoimmune disorder that primarily affects joints. It typically results in warm, swollen, and painful joints. Pain and stiffness often worsen following rest. Most commonly, the wrist and hands are involved, with the same joints typically involved on both sides of the body. More...
