Jan 25th, 2022 - Immunotherapies, which stimulate the immune system to help the body fight cancer, have shown substantial promise for the treatment of many tumor types. These include melanoma, a potentially deadly type of skin cancer. But while tumors shrink or even disappear in some people given immunotherapy, others have no response at all. Researchers have been trying to understand the factors that affect in...

Cancer cells drain energy from immune cells
https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/cancer-cells-drain-energy-immune-cells

Dec 7th, 2021 - Cancer cells must evade the immune system to grow and spread. One way they do so is by presenting proteins on their surfaces that dampen the ability of immune cells to kill them. A type of cancer therapy called immune checkpoint inhibition blocks the interaction of these proteins with immune cells. This allows the immune cells to more efficiently kill the cancer. But this treatment doesn’t work...

Feb 2nd, 2021 - Too much white fat, a characteristic of obesity, has been shown to increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and other diseases. A less common type of fat, called brown fat, uses blood sugar and fat molecules to create heat and help maintain body temperature. Studies suggest it may have beneficial health effects. Researchers have been interested in the potential of harnessing b...

Understanding “exceptional responders” to cancer treatment
https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/understanding-exceptional-responders-cancer-treatment

Dec 8th, 2020 - Chemotherapy is among the most widely used treatments for cancer. These treatments use drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells. The drugs either kill the cells or stop them from dividing. But patients can respond differently to the same treatments. Exceptional responders are patients who respond to treatments that are not effective for most other patients. In 2014, NIH’s National Cancer Instit...

Number of steps per day more important than step intensity

Mar 31st, 2020 - Doctors often recommend walking as an easy way for inactive people to ease into better health. Taking 4,000 or fewer steps a day is considered a low level of physical activity. A goal of 10,000 steps a day is commonly cited, but recent studies have shown that health benefits accrue even if fewer than 10,000 steps are taken daily. Past studies have mostly been done in older adults. It hasn’t bee...
