Wie lässt sich die Impfquote steigern: mit Anreizen oder mit harten Strafen? Darüber diskutieren die Virologin Melanie Brinkmann und der Verhaltensökonom Marcus Schreiber, der eine Triage-Regelung für Ungeimpfte für denkbar hält.

A common mutation in gliomas sensitizes them to immunotherapy, a finding which researchers believe could have broader therapeutic implications for all glioma patients.

The immune system relies on cell surface tags to recognize cancer cells. Researchers discovered mice who ate high-fat diets produced less of these tags on their intestinal cells, suppressing the ability of immune cells to identify and eliminate intestinal tumors. The high-fat diet also reduced the presence of certain bacteria in the mice’s gut, which normally helps maintain the production of these tags.

Infektionen, klinische Forschung, Überregulierung: Hier leistet sich Deutschland tödliche Lücken. Kaum irgendwo zeigt sich der Renovierungsbedarf stärker als in der Gesundheitspolitik.

Engineers developed a technique that allows them to measure the generation rate and half-life of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in mice.

A new research study turns cancer scientists into molecular detectives, searching for clues for why certain cancers are able to spread and evolve by studying tissues collected within hours of death.

Known as pediatric radiation-induced high-grade gliomas (RIGs), this specific type of brain tumor is caused by cranial radiation therapy for other cancers, most often brain cancers. They account for nearly 4% of all childhood brain tumor deaths, but there have not been many studies on RIGs and how to treat them.

Previously published solar exposure guidelines for optimal vitamin D synthesis based on a study of skin samples may need to be revised.

Die Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz in Deutschland ist laut den Gesundheitsämtern zuletzt leicht gesunken. Allerdings stieg die Zahl der Coronatoten binnen 24 Stunden deutlich. Der Überblick.

Researchers have discovered the working mechanism of potential drug targets for various diseases such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and even COVID-19. The findings uncover the inner workings of cell receptors that are involved in cancer progression and inflammatory diseases.

Die Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz in Deutschland ist leicht gestiegen. Zudem verzeichneten die Gesundheitsämter zehn weitere Coronatote binnen einem Tag. Und: Die Zahl der Genesenen nähert sich der Vier-Millionen-Marke.

Der Stuttgarter Mediziner Christian Fitz über die Risiken der Fettentfernung, den Fall Linda Evangelista und die Verantwortung seiner Branche.

Vor allem Ältere und Menschen mit Vorerkrankungen sollten sich gegen die Grippe impfen lassen, empfiehlt der Chef der Techniker Krankenkasse, Jens Baas. Es sei nicht klar, wie stark die Welle in diesem Jahr werde.

Sprang das Coronavirus in der Natur auf den Menschen über – oder ist es einem Labor entwichen? Die Frage ist noch immer ungeklärt. Neu veröffentlichte Dokumente befeuern die Diskussion.

Als Impfstoff wurde mRNA in der Corona-Pandemie zum Star. Katalin Karikó und Drew Weissman lieferten wichtige Grundlagen und erhalten dafür jetzt eine Auszeichnung nach der anderen: auch einen der renommierten Lasker Awards.

Schon Jahre vor der Diagnose bricht Multiple Sklerose aus. Viele Fälle bleiben deshalb unerkannt. Ärzte und Mediziner arbeiten daran, dass sich das ändert.

In 2020, an estimated 10 million people lost their lives to cancer. This devastating disease is underpinned by changes to our DNA — the instruction manual for all our cells.

New research suggests that radiation therapy can reprogram heart muscle cells to what appears to be a younger state, fixing electrical problems that cause a life-threatening arrhythmia without the need for a long-used, invasive procedure.

An international team of scientists have created a three-dimensional (3D) pancreatic cancer tumour model in the laboratory, combining a bioengineered matrix and patient-derived cells that could be used to develop and test targeted treatments.

Alaska praktiziert die Triage – kränkere Menschen werden in der medizinischen Versorgung priorisiert. Kliniken appellieren, riskante Aktivitäten zu unterlassen. Betten fehlen, um Patienten das Leben retten zu können.

  Dear Readers To continue our conversation about cellular intelligence and mind in nature, please join me on twitter @jonlieffmd where there is a steady stream of new scientific articles and conversation.  You can also listen and watch the following recent podcast and YouTube interviews. The discussions are focused on my book, The Secret Language of […]

Why did you write The Secret Language of Cells? While studying signaling among brain cells, I became aware that all our cells—immune cells, gut cells, microbes, plant cells, etc. —are also constantly sending back and forth messages to each other in the same ways that neurons do. These conversations among cells outside of the brain […]

The Secret Language of Cells describes revolutionary findings about the interaction of the immune system and the brain and provides a new understanding of the relationship between mind and body. The immune system has a huge impact on the brain and mental health. Similarly, the brain strongly influences immune activity throughout the body. These interactions […]

  “The Secret Language of Cells … presents a new paradigm for understanding health and disease.” Andrew Weil, MD, director of the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, professor at University of Arizona College of Medicine, and author This new paradigm, described in my upcoming book, The Secret Language of Cells, is based on the newly-recognized principle […]

It is only recently that scientists have been able to observe tiny viruses and their behavior. Bacteria are a thousand times larger than viruses, and our human cells are a thousand times larger than bacteria. We still don’t know what viruses are and how they can have such a complex lifestyle while consisting of just […]
