Study Reveals Role of P-Stalk Ribosomes in Cancer Immune Evasion
A groundbreaking study published in Cell reveals the critical role of P-stalk ribosomes (PSRs) in cancer’s immune evasion mechanisms, highlighting their impact on tumor detection by CD8+ T cells. This research paves the way for novel cancer immunotherapy strategies by targeting PSRs to enhance immune responses against tumors.
Study Links rDNA Copy Number to Inflammation and Disease Risk
A recent study by Queen Mary University of London found a strong association between ribosomal DNA (rDNA) copy number and the risk of inflammation and diseases. The research, analyzing samples from 500,000 individuals, highlights the potential of rDNA analysis in identifying genetic predispositions to various health issues. The findings suggest that a broader genome analysis could lead to early disease detection and innovative treatment approaches, emphasizing the importance of leveraging biobanks for improved healthcare outcomes.
