Soft-tissue sarcomas produce a protein that make immune cells 'go bad'

Investigators from Cedars-Sinai Cancer have discovered that cancerous tumors called soft-tissue sarcomas produce a protein that switches immune cells from tumor-attacking to tumor-promoting.

BSACI develops a guideline for diagnosing and managing pollen food syndrome

People with Pollen Food Syndrome (PFS)-;also known as oral allergy syndrome or pollen food allergy syndrome-;experience an allergic reaction when consuming raw plant foods, and triggers can vary depending on an individual's pollen sensitization, which in turn is affected by geographical location. The British Society of Allergy & Clinical Immunology Standards of Care Committee has developed a guideline for diagnosing and managing PFS.

Study paves new way to develop a predictive biomarker for TRAIL therapy

A cytokine named TRAIL binds to TRAIL receptors and kills cancer cells, but not normal cells. Therefore, various anticancer drugs targeting TRAIL receptors have been developed and gained great attention as a promising cancer therapeutics, but a certain population of cancer patients does not respond to the therapy.
