Unlocking Immortality: T Cells as the New Fountain of Youth - Lemmy.World
> Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, have discovered that T cells can
be genetically modified to target and eliminate senescent cells, which
contribute to aging and related diseases. Their findings in mice show that a

Trailblazing Blood Test: Detecting the Silent, Lethal Shadows of Pancreatic Cancer - Lemmy.World
> Project to develop a blood-based test to identify patients with early
pancreatic cancer receives PanKind funding boost. The test is based on a
critical WEHI discovery of proteins that can identify early pancreatic cancer in
patients. Currently, there are no early-detection biomarkers for the disease.
Researchers hope the test could, in the future, be used by general practitioners
and oncologists as a tool for early intervention to enable more effective
treatment options for patients.
