Unlocking Cancer Treatment Potential with CD300ld Molecule

ByThe Short Paper

CD300ld on neutrophils is required for tumour-driven immune suppression

In cancer, the immune system often gets suppressed, making it hard to treat. Scientists have found a molecule called CD300ld that is important for this suppression. When they blocked CD300ld in mice with tumors, it made the tumors shrink and improved the immune system’s ability to fight the cancer. This discovery could be a promising target for cancer treatment in the future.

Polarized thermal emission from dust in a galaxy at redshift 2.6 Magnetic fields are really important for how galaxies evolve and how stars are born. We’ve known about these magnetic fields in our own Milky Way and nearby galaxies, but we didn’t know when they first appeared in the Universe. Now, we’ve found evidence of…

Simple Summary – MicroRNAs signatures, bioinformatics analysis of miRNAs, miRNA mimics and antagonists, and miRNA therapeutics in osteosarcoma

ByThe Short Paper

Link to the article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7302353/ MicroRNA can have suppressive effects on certain biochemical pathways involved in cancer specifically osteosarcoma in regards to this paper. Using bioinformatics techniques, they were able to hone into specific miRNA that can suppress osteosarcoma. TL;DR Increases in certain molecular mechanisms can help suppress bone cancer (osteosarcoma)

Dietary fiber intake and risk of type 2 diabetes in a general Japanese population: the Hisayama Study

ByThe Short Paper

Article The study followed 1,892 Japanese people aged 40-79 over the course of 14 years. 280 people over that time period developed diabetes type II. They found that those that had the highest fiber intake had about half the likelihood of developing (0.53) diabetes compared to those who had the lowest fiber intake. They found…

Fish consumption and risk of incident dementia in elderly Japanese: the Ohsaki cohort 2006 study

ByThe Short Paper

Article The study looked at Japanese 65 years old or older and their eating habits in the city of Ohsaki City, Japan. They did a 5-7 year follow up on the incidence of dementia and found that those with the highest fish consumption had a lower risk of incident dementia. This may indicate habitual fish…

A Road to Efficiency through Communication and Commitment

ByThe Short Paper

This study explores a new way to improve cooperation in a coordination game called the minimum-effort game. In this game, coordination problems often happen. The researchers introduced a novel rule where players can talk to each other while making commitments step by step. This approach has a unique prediction: it should lead to the best…
