Originally developed for organ transplantation to prevent immune rejection, previous research has found that, at non-#immunosuppressive doses, #rapamycin can mitigate cellular #senescence.

"rapamycin provides direct #genomicprotection in human immune cells and may support healthy aging, offer benefits after clinical #radiationexposure, and could even address risks from #cosmicradiation during extended #spacetravel."

Rapamycin linked to DNA damage resilience in aging human immune cells

University of Oxford-led research finds low-dose rapamycin functions as a genomic protector in aging human immune cells, lowering DNA damage.

How do tumors promote #hematopoiesis outside the #BoneMarrow? @TheKingLab explores a new #PLOSBiology study of the mechanisms, which may hold the key to disrupting #immunosuppressive #tumor microenvironments. Primer: https://plos.io/3AYeiZY Paper: https://plos.io/41jMOJb
Dismantling the tumoral cloak of self-protection

The mechanisms by which tumors promote hematopoiesis outside the bone marrow have been the subject of intense interest. This Primer explores a new PLOS Biology study that provides new insight into the mechanisms underlying this process, and may hold the key to disrupting generation of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

This piece from author Amy Silverstein on the highs and low of being a #heart transplant recipient. Amy is absolutely correct when she calls out the lack of recent progress in the development of newer #immunosuppressive agents, which might have far less in the way of problematic side effects for #patients #MedMastodon #physicians https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/18/opinion/heart-transplant-donor.html?smid=tw-share

Organ transplantation is mired in stagnant science and antiquated, imprecise medicine that fails patients and organ donors.
