New method identifies key proteins that trigger harmful immune responses19:46 Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a new method to identify which proteins are most likely to trigger an immune response - a discovery that could help improve transplant care, regenerative medicine and other areas where the immune system plays a critical role. Mayo Clinic researchers develop experimental nanotherapy to treat aggressive brain tumors19:46 Mayo Clinic researchers developed an experimental nanotherapy that delivers two cancer drugs directly to brain tumors, according to a study published in Communications Medicine. Large-scale exposome research shows how multiple factors influence disease risk19:46 For decades, scientists have been carefully unraveling the role of genes in disease by examining how small variations in a person's genetic code can shape lifelong risk of developing common conditions such as cancer, diabetes, or heart disease.
