Unleashing natural killer cells against cancer

admin — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 15:50:22 +0000

Scientists have developed a strategy to boost the cancer-fighting power of natural killer (NK) cells, part of the immune system’s first line of defence. NK cells can detect and destroy cancer cells, but tumours often create a protective barrier that blocks them, allowing cancer to grow.

Researchers at �鶹��ý��վ’s Rosalind & Morris Goodman Cancer Institute, in collaboration with the Research Institute of the �鶹��ý��վ Health Centre, found that suppressing two specific proteins helps NK cells overcome this blockage, turning them into more potent cancer killers.

AI tool pinpoints cells driving aggressive cancers

admin — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:47:49 +0000

�鶹��ý��վ researchers have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can identify small groups of cells most responsible for driving aggressive cancers.

The tool, called SIDISH, offers scientists a clearer path to designing targeted therapies by showing which cells inside a tumour are most strongly linked with poor patient outcomes, rather than treating all cancer cells as if they behave the same way.

Largest-ever study of psychedelics could help advance their use in treating mental health disorders

admin — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 13:39:31 +0000

Scientists have demonstrated, for the first time, that several psychedelic drugs – including psilocybin, LSD, mescaline, DMT and ayahuasca – produce a common pattern of brain activity despite their distinct chemistries.

An international consortium led by a �鶹��ý��վ researcher pooled brain imaging data from labs across five countries, creating the largest study of its kind to date.
