Researchers develop new approach to assess changes in tumor microenvironment

Research has shown that the tumor microenvironment (TME) can help cancers grow and evade the immune response. The TME has even been shown to inhibit cellular immunotherapy, a novel form of treatment in which the cells of a patient's immune system are re-engineered in the lab to attack cancer cells.

Study finds no link between exposure to mobile devices and brain volume changes in preadolescents

How does the use of mobile devices affect children's brains? A team from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, a center supported by the "la Caixa" Foundation, has conducted the first epidemiological study to explore the relationship between brain volume in preadolescents--more than 2,500 Dutch children--and different doses of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF).
