A study supports the idea that some T cells that react to microbes also may react to normal human proteins, causing autoimmune disease. The findings promise to accelerate efforts to improve diagnostic tools and treatments for autoimmune diseases.
Researchers' recent observations of a stellar-mass black hole called Cygnus X-1 reveal new details about the configuration of extremely hot matter in the region immediately surrounding the black hole.
Washington [US], October 1 (ANI): The first evidence of lasting social relationships between chimpanzees and gorillas in the wild has been found during a long-term study led by primatologist Crickette Sanz at Washington University in St. Louis.
Washington [US], September 2 (ANI): Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Saint Louis University School of Medicine found that males with COVID-19 who had low testosterone levels are likelier than those with normal levels to experience acute illness and require hospitalisation.
Washington [US], September 2 (ANI): The treatment of various tumours has been transformed by cell-based immunotherapy, often known as CAR-T cell therapy. In order to target and combat specific forms of leukaemia and lymphoma, the treatment employs genetically engineered T cells. While it has the potential to cure cancer in certain individuals who would otherwise pass away from the disease, it also carries the danger of a number of adverse effects, some of which can be fatal and disrupt brain function.

Washington [US], August 15 (ANI): Cancer cell metabolism has been perceived as somewhat of a conundrum for more than a century. Recent findings from Washington University in St. Louis academics suggest that it might not be an abnormality at all. The work was released in Molecular Cell on August 15.
