Former motor racing boss and privacy campaigner Max Mosley died of a gunshot wound in the bedroom of his London home last May after being told his cancer was terminal, an inquest heard on Tuesday.

His family had said at the time that the 81-year-old, youngest son of prominent 1930s British fascist Oswald Mosley, died after a long battle with cancer.

British media said the remote inquest at Westminster Coroner's Court revealed Mosley had been informed he had only weeks to live.

What one eats is completely personal choice. But vegetarians often get trolled by meat eaters who jokingly say that their friends on the other side of the food divide 'eat grass' and such things. Vegetarians do have a few choicest taunts too.

But now a study carried out by reasearchers from Oxford University says that vegetarians have a lower risk of cancer than non-vegetarians. The researchers say that the chance of developing cancer is 14 per cent lower in vegetarians, pescatarians to be precise (those who eat fish but not other meats).

For this study, the researchers analysed data on more than 470,000 Britons. It was found that pescatarians had a lower level of cancer risk.

However, authors of the research papers say that this did not mean that meat-eating leads to cancer. The team, lead by Cody Watling from Oxford’s population health cancer epidemiology unit said that factors such as habit of smoking and body fat content also plays part in determining the risk of cancer.

This study also found that,

<ul>
	<li>Those who ate meat less than five times in a week had 9% less risk to develop bowel cancer than regular meat eaters.</li>
	<li>Vegetarian women were 18% less likely to develop breast cancer after menopause.</li>
	<li>Vegetarian men had 31% less risk of developing prostate cancer. Among pescatarian men, the risk was 20 per cent less

The world is bringing in new solutions and treatments for deadly diseases every day and Cancer, undoubtedly, is one of the deadliest diseases.&nbsp;

Scientists at UCL have created a breakthrough cancer therapy that guides magnetic seeds inside the brain to heat up and destroy tumours using an MRI scanner.

The study has been published in the journal 'Advanced Science`'

This therapy, which was shown to work in mice, is called "minimally invasive image-guided ablation" or MINIMA. It includes a ferromagnetic thermoseed that is navigated to a tumour using magnetic propulsion gradients generated by an MRI scanner, before being heated remotely to kill cancer cells nearby.

Also read |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/how-life-began-study-explains-how-a-moon-helps-create-life-on-a-planet-450068" hreflang="en">'How life began': Study explains how a moon helps create life on a planet</a>

The findings are a "proof-of-concept" for precise and effective treatment of hard-to-reach cancers such as glioblastoma, along with other cancers such as prostate that would benefit from less invasive treatment.

Senior author, Professor Mark Lythgoe (UCL Centre for Advanced Biomedical Imaging) said: "MINIMA is a new MRI-guided therapy that has the potential to avoid traditional side effects by precisely treating the tumour without harming healthy tissues. Because the heating seed is magnetic, the magnetic fields in the MRI scanner can be used to remotely steer the seed through tissue to the tumour. Once at the tumour, the seed can then be heated, destroying the cancer cells, while causing limited damage to surrounding healthy tissues."

In their study, the UCL team demonstrated the three key elements of MINIMA to a high degree of accuracy: precise seed imaging; navigation of brain tissue using a tailored MRI system; and eradication of a tumour by heating it in a mouse model.

Magnetic thermoseeds are round with a diameter of 2 millimeters; made of metal alloy, and are implanted superficially before they are navigated to the tumour.

Lead author, Rebecca Baker, (UCL Centre for Advanced Biomedical Imaging) said: "Using an MRI scanner to deliver a therapy in this way allows the therapeutic seed and the tumour to be imaged throughout the procedure, ensuring the treatment is delivered with precision and without having to perform open surgery. This could be beneficial to patients by reducing recovery times and minimising the chance of side effects."

Around the world, MRI scanners are commonly available in hospitals for the diagnosis of diseases like cancer. Researchers at UCL demonstrated that MINIMA has the potential to elevate MRI scanners from diagnostic devices to therapeutic platforms.

Professor Lythgoe added: "We are now able to image and navigate a thermoseed in real-time through the brain using an MRI scanner. As MRI is already used to detect the boundaries of cancers, the seed can be moved precisely to ensure it does not stray into surrounding healthy tissue. As the seed is guided through the tissue it can be heated to destroy the cancer. This combines therapy and diagnosis into a single device, creating a completely new class of imaging therapy."

Co-author Dr Lewis Thorne, a consultant neurosurgeon at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, said: "I treat patients with the most common form of brain cancer, glioblastoma. Following surgery, the average survival time is 12-18 months. MINIMA can successfully destroy cancer in a mouse and has the potential to extend survival and limit damage to adjacent brain tissues in patients."

Professor Mark Emberton (UCL Division of Surgery and Interventional Science), lead cancer clinician in the study, said: "Improving the precision of our cancer treatments is arguably one of the greatest unmet needs we have today."

Prostate cancer is diagnosed in one out of eight men. Incontinence and impotence are two of the debilitating side effects commonly associated with treatments such as radiotherapy and surgery.

By targeting and destroying prostate tumour tissue precisely, MINIMA may reduce damage to normal cells.

"In the longer term", Professor Lythgoe added, "we will change the shape of the seed to act as a tiny cutting scalpel that could be guided through tissue, which would allow surgeons to perform remotely controlled operations, revolutionising non-invasive surgery."&nbsp;

Scientists discover a way to target & destroy cancer cells: Here's how the ground-breaking therapy works

A new study conducted by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell's Ithaca campus has revealed that the critical metabolic vulnerability of Lymphoma cells can be used to trick these cancers into starving themselves.

The study, published in Blood Cancer Discovery, shows that a protein called ATF4, a genetic master-switch that controls the activities of hundreds of genes, has a key role in supporting the fast growth of diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCLs).

The syndrome, caused by a large, rapid release of immune substances called cytokines, may occur after treatment with some types of cancer therapies and can sometimes be severe or fatal.&nbsp;

It has different symptoms including fever, headache, and troubled breathing, according to the National Cancer Institute.

"ATF4 represents a crucial and exploitable vulnerability in DLBCLs and one that they appear to share regardless of the specific genetic mutations that trigger them," said study co-senior author Ari Melnick.

In the new study, the researchers explored further how SIRT3 promotes DLBCL growth, and found that one of the important ways it does this is by increasing the production of another metabolism-influencing protein, ATF4.

SIRT3 resides in mitochondria, the tiny, oxygen-burning fuel reactors in our cells that are essential for powering cellular activities.&nbsp;

"One of the really interesting things about this study is that it shows how nutrient conditions, in principle even from patients' diets, can profoundly affect cancer-cell activity," said study first author Dr. Meng Li, a member of the Melnick Laboratory who is also an instructor of cancer genomics in medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine.

"My lab has been working on the sirtuin family of enzymes for more than 10 years, yet this study revealed some very interesting connections among SIRT3, metabolism and nutrient or stress sensing," said Dr. Lin. "We are excited to consider the translational potential of this finding in treating lymphoma."

Photodynamic treatment is used to treat certain malignancies, and patients frequently report an odd side effect.

Many people claim to have a feeling of better "night vision" in addition to seeing unusual patterns and silhouettes in the dark.&nbsp;

Photodynamic therapy involves the use of light-sensitive medicine that is activated by a light source.

The photo-active substance (chlorine e6) is injected into the circulation through a vein or applied to the skin, depending on the portion of the body being treated, and eventually finds its way into malignant cells.

The medicine is "turned on" when a specific laser is blasted over the damaged area, and it generates a chemical that kills the rogue cells.&nbsp;

Researchers eventually discovered out why this occurred last year: Rhodopsin, a light-sensitive protein found in our eyes' retinas, interacts with chlorin e6, a photosensitive chemical that is a critical component of this sort of cancer treatment.

The research relied on what scientists already understood about retinal, an organic substance found in the eye that is normally insensitive to infrared radiation.&nbsp;

The science of vision&nbsp;

When light is collected by a succession of cones and rods in the retina, "seeing" occurs.

Rods have a lot of rhodopsin, a photosensitive protein that absorbs visible light thanks to a substance called retinal that it contains.

When exposed to visible light, the retina separates from rhodopsin.

This allows the light signal to be translated to an electrical signal, which our brain's visual cortex perceives as sight.

In fact, during the night there is "less light," which means light radiation is not in a domain visible to humans.

The retina is not sensitive to higher wavelengths (the infrared level).

As a result, unlike many species, we are unable to see in the dark.&nbsp;

The photo-active substance (chlorine e6) is injected into the circulation through a vein or applied to the skin, depending on the portion of the body being treated, and eventually finds its way into malignant cells. The medicine is "turned on" when a specific laser is blasted over the damaged area, and it generates a chemical that kills the rogue cells. Researchers eventually discovered out why this occurred last year: Rhodopsin, a light-sensitive protein found in our eyes' retinas, interacts with chlorin e6, a photosensitive chemical that is a critical component of this sort of cancer treatment. The research relied on what scientists already understood about retinal, an organic substance found in the eye that is normally insensitive to infrared radiation. The science of vision When light is collected by a succession of cones and rods in the retina, "seeing" occurs. Rods have a lot of rhodopsin, a photosensitive protein that absorbs visible light thanks to a substance called retinal that it contains. When exposed to visible light, the retina separates from rhodopsin. This allows the light signal to be translated to an electrical signal, which our brain's visual cortex perceives as sight. In fact, during the night there is "less light," which means light radiation is not in a domain visible to humans. The retina is not sensitive to higher wavelengths (the infrared level). As a result, unlike many species, we are unable to see in the dark. (With inputs from agencies)

How a cancer treatment can leave people with 'night vision'

A Japanese biotech firm has devised a new method that might help detect pancreatic cancer at an early stage.

The technique involves the use of a genetically modified a type of worm called “C. elegans” created by a Japanese firm, Hirotsu Bio Science.

It is well known that bodily fluids of cancer patients smell different to those of healthy people. There have been experiments with dogs who were trained to detect the disease in breath or urine samples. However, the method is time-consuming.

The firm has claimed that their genetically modified worm, which is around one-millimetre-long, has an acute sense of smell and will be able to react to the urine of people with cancer.

With this experiment, the scientists claimed that it was possible to detect cancer early.

“The new test is not meant to diagnose pancreatic cancer, but could help boost routine screening as urine samples can be collected at home without the need for a hospital visit,” Hirotsu said at a press conference on Tuesday.

And if the worms raise the alarm, the patient would then be referred to a doctor for further testing, he said.

"This is a major technological advancement," CEO Takaaki Hirotsu, a former academic who studied the tiny worms known as nematodes, told AFP.

He is hopeful it could help boost cancer detection rates in Japan, which like many countries has seen screening rates drop during the pandemic as people avoided medical visits.

Hirotsu and Osaka University detailed "C. elegans"&nbsp;cancer-detecting skills in a joint study published earlier this year in the peer-reviewed journal "Oncotarget"

In separate tests conducted by the firm, the worms correctly identified all 22 urine samples from pancreatic cancer patients, including people with early stages of the disease.

South Africa’s last white president Frederik Willem (FW) de Klerk, died on Thursday morning at his home in Cape Town, the FW de Klerk Foundation said in a statement. He was 85 years old.

“FW de Klerk died peacefully at his home in Fresnaye earlier this morning following his struggle against mesothelioma cancer,” the FW de Klerk Foundation said in a statement on Thursday.

He was diagnosed in March with mesothelioma, a type of cancer that affects the tissue lining the lungs. De Klerk had announced his diagnosis on his 85th birthday&nbsp;on March 18 this year.

He is survived by his wife Elita, children Jan and Susan, and grandchildren.

“The family will, in due course, make an announcement regarding funeral arrangements,” the foundation added.

De Klerk headed South Africa’s white minority government until 1994, when Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress party swept to power.&nbsp;Under de Klerk's leadership, South Africa saw a rapid end of the apartheid system, notably, without any major violence.

He shared the Nobel peace prize with Mandela but his role in the transition to democracy remains highly contested more than 20 years after the end of apartheid.

Hailing from a prominent White Afrikaner family, a white ethnic group descended mainly from Dutch colonisers, in Johannesburg, his father was a leading apartheid senator who served briefly as interim president.

He studied law, before being elected to parliament as a member of the National Party that instituted apartheid.

Recent data shows that the human papillomavirus, or HPV vaccine is helpful in lowering cases of cervical cancer by 90 per cent. Cancer Research UK described the findings as "historic" as this comes as proof that the programme launched in England 13 years ago is saving lives.

As per the research, cervical cancer rates in vaccinated women aged 12 and 13 were 87 per cent lower than in an unvaccinated population. There were reductions in cervical cancer rates by 62 per cent in vaccinated women aged between 14 and 16, and 34 per cent in women aged 16 to 18 when vaccination was introduced.&nbsp;

Prof Peter Sasieni, one of the researchers at King's College London said that the impact has been huge.&nbsp;

The study further estimated the HPV programme has prevented about 450 cancers and 17,200 pre-cancers. Prof Sasieni said that was "just the tip of the iceberg" as the women who were vaccinated were still young to be getting cancer.

Dr Vanessa Saliba, consultant epidemiologist for UKHSA also took part in the study. She was quoted by The Guardian as saying, "We encourage all who are eligible for the HPV vaccine to take it up when it is offered in school. All those eligible can catch up until their 25th birthday. Together with cervical screening, this will help to protect more women from preventable cases of cervical cancer.”

As of now, in the UK, 3,200 cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed every year. The study observed in detail the cancer registry data between January 2006 and June 2019 for a total of seven groups of women who were between the ages of 20 and 64 at the end of 2019.

If Americans meet five hours per week of moderate-intensity recommended physical activity guidelines, then more than 46,000 cancer cases annually in the United States could be prevented.

Published in the journal 'Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise', the data noted that three per cent of all cancer cases in adults in the US aged 30 years and older during 2013 to 2016 was due to physical inactivity. Also, the proportion was higher in women compared to men.

The maximum number of cases were in the South, such as Kentucky, West Virginia, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Mississippi, whereas the lowest proportions were found in the Mountain region and northern states, such as Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Washington, and Wisconsin.

The data highlights specific cancer sites, including 16.9 per cent of stomach cancers, 11.9 per cent of endometrial cancers, 11.0 per cent of kidney cancers, 9.3 per cent of colon cancers, 8.1 per cent of oesophagal cancers, 6.5 per cent of female breast cancers, and 3.9 per cent of urinary bladder cancers.

A new cancer treatment can wipe out tumours in terminally ill patients, scientists have revealed.

According to researchers at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), London, and the Royal Marsden NHS foundation trust, a cocktail of immunotherapy medications harnessed patients’ immune systems to kill their own cancer cells and prompted “a positive trend in survival."

Speaking to The Guardian, one patient, who was expected to die four years ago, said that he was told by the nurses that his tumour had “completely disappeared."

This is because the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab medications led to a reduction in the size of tumours in the terminally ill head and neck patients.&nbsp;

7.9% of all cancer cases were found among children: ICMR study

In a recent development, scientists have successfully used artificial intelligence to create a new drug regime for children with a deadly form of brain cancer, in which survival rates have not improved for 50 years.&nbsp;

Professor Kristian Helin, chief executive of The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), London, where a team of scientists, doctors and data analysts made the discovery, was quoted by The Guardian as saying, "The use of AI promises to have a transformative effect on drug discovery."

He added, “In this study, use of AI has identified a drug combination which appears to have promise as a future treatment for some children with incurable brain cancer. It’s exciting to think that it could become one of the first examples of a treatment proposed by AI going on to benefit patients.”

Scientists and cancer specialists at the ICR and the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust used AI to work out that combining the drug everolimus with another called vandetanib could treat diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).

It is a rare and fast-growing type of brain tumour in children.

Such tumours are difficult to remove surgically because they are diffuse. This means that they do not have well-defined borders suitable for operations.

A quarter of children with DIPG have a mutation in a gene known as ACVR1, but there are currently no treatments approved to target this mutation.

“DIPG is a rare and aggressive childhood brain cancer, and survival rates have not changed over the past 50 years so we desperately need to find new treatments for this disease,” Chris Jones, professor of paediatric brain tumour biology at the ICR, was quoted by The Guardian.

Singer Sarah Harding, who was part of the British band Girls Aloud, is dead. Harding, 39, died on Sunday morning after battling cancer for over a year. The singer had revealed in August 2020 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and it had spread to other parts of her body.

Singer Sarah Harding, who was part of the British band Girls Aloud, is dead. Harding, 39, died on Sunday morning after battling cancer for over a year. The singer had revealed in August 2020 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and it had spread to other parts of her body. The news of her death was shared by her mother Marie on Instagram. She described her 'beautiful' daughter as "a bright, shining star." "It`s with deep heartbreak that today I`m sharing the news that my beautiful daughter Sarah has sadly passed away. "Many of you will know of Sarah`s battle with cancer and that she fought so strongly from her diagnosis until her last day. She slipped away peacefully this morning." Marie thanked everyone for their "kind support over the past year". "It meant the world to Sarah and it gave her great strength and comfort to know she was loved. I know she won`t want to be remembered for her fight against this terrible disease - she was a bright shining star and I hope that`s how she can be remembered instead." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sarah Harding (@sarahnicoleharding) × Her Girls Aloud bandmates Nicola Roberts and Nadine Coyle paid warm tributes on social media. Roberts, who shared photos of them together, posted, "I can't accept that this day has come. My heart is aching and all day everything we went through together has raced round my mind... a part of me or us isn't here anymore and it's unthinkable and painful and utterly cruel." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nicola Maria Roberts (@lilcola) × While Coyle shared a photo of Harding and write, "I am absolutely devastated!! I can’t think of words that could possibly express how I feel about this girl & what she means to me!! I know so many of you will be feeling this way. For now I’m sending so much love to you!!!" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nadine Coyle (@nadinecoyle) × Earlier this year Harding revealed doctors had told her she would not see another Christmas. "In December my doctor told me that the upcoming Christmas would probably be my last. I don`t want an exact prognosis. I don`t know why anyone would want that. Comfort and being as pain-free as possible is what`s important to me now." She had added that she was trying to live and enjoy every second of her life, however long "it might be." Harding said, "I am having a glass of wine or two during all this, because it helps me relax. I`m sure some people might think that`s not a great idea, but I want to try to enjoy myself. I`m at a stage now where I don`t know how many months I have left. Who knows, maybe I`ll surprise everyone, but that`s how I`m looking at things." She added that spending time with her mother and her friends had been her priority, and expressed her wish to have a party before she passed away. Harding tried her hands in acting as well. She appeared in 'Bad Day', 'Freefall', 'Run for Your Wife', and 'St. Trinian`s 2: The Legend of Fritton`s Gold'. Harding contributed three solo songs to the soundtrack of 'St. Trinian`s 2'. In late 2012, she reunited with Girls Aloud to celebrate their 10th anniversary. In early 2013, they announced that they had split up. In 2015, she briefly appeared in `Coronation Street`, and released her first extended play record titled `Threads`. She was crowned as the winner of "Celebrity Big Brother` in 2017.

According to a new study, alcohol consumption can be linked to the risk of cancer.

Researchers warn that alcohol consumption contributed to four per cent of all new cancer cases globally last year, adding that therein lies an urgent need to educate the public.&nbsp;

The&nbsp;study, which was published in the journal The Lancet Oncology, estimates that in the year 2020 alone, there were over 6.3 million cases of mouth, pharynx, voice box larynx, oesophageal, colon, rectum, liver, and breast cancer. All of these cases were linked to alcohol consumption.

Over three quarters i.e. 77 per cent of the cases were of male heavy drinkers. However, one in seven cases was linked to moderate consumption of around two drinks a day. Out of the estimated 741,300 cases, 23 per cent were women.&nbsp;

Using data from alcohol sales, production, taxation and consumption, researchers estimated the amount of alcohol that people consumed each day in various countries around the world. The data used was from the year 2010, after which ten years would have passed for the effect to be evident in possible cancer cases.

The&nbsp;study&nbsp;found that new alcohol-related cancer cases varied widely around the world; the highest numbers were observed in East Asia and Central and Eastern Europe, and the lowest in North Africa and Western Asia.&nbsp;

Mongolia, China, Moldova, and Romania had the highest proportion of alcohol-related cases, while Kuwait, Libya, and Saudi Arabia had the lowest.&nbsp;

Among the most common cancers were those of the oesophagus (189,700 cases), liver (154,700 cases), and breast (98,300 cases).

The authors of this study point out that earlier studies show that alcohol consumption has been shown to damage DNA and affect hormone production, which can contribute to the development of cancer.&nbsp;

A simple blood test named 'Galleri' that can detect more than 50 different types of cancers before they show any clinical signs or symptoms is accurate enough to be used as a multi-cancer screening test, according to scientists.

The company that developed and funded the research, GRAIL, Inc. (California, USA), has recently made the multi-cancer early detection test available in the United States by prescription only. This would supplement other current screening procedures for breast, cervical, prostate, lung, and bowel cancers.&nbsp;

An earlier version of Galleri was shown in clinical testing to be capable of detecting more than 50 forms of cancer with a single blood draw, 45 of which do not have recommended screening.

In total, more than 134,000 individuals have participated in GRAIL's blood test clinical trials. The examination also reveals the location of cancer.&nbsp;

“When a cancer signal is detected in these trials, the test also pinpoints where the cancer is located in the body with high accuracy,” Dr Joshua Ofman, chief medical officer and head of external affairs at GRAIL, told Healthline. “This helps healthcare providers to determine next steps for diagnosis and care.”

Many of the cancers that the test can detect don't really have screening tests, including liver, pancreatic, and esophageal cancers, which are among the most lethal and where early detection could save lives.&nbsp;

Claiming that yoga originated in Nepal and not in India, Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Monday said that much before the existence of India as a nation, yoga was and has been practiced in the Himalayan nation.

The prime minister was speaking at an event held at his residence Baluwatar on the occasion of International Yoga Day.&nbsp;

“Yoga originated in Nepal and not in India. There was no existence of India when Yoga started. There was no country like India because there were several fringe states when yoga came into practice in Nepal,” Oli said in his address.&nbsp;

Prime Minister Oli said Nepal could not take the practice of yoga across the globe due to which there was no international recognition.&nbsp;

“Many famous sages and Maharishis such as Patanjali, Kapilmuni, and Charaka were born in Nepal. They studied and practice here itself,” he added.&nbsp;

Oli said yoga got international recognition after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi proposed to the UN to celebrate International Yoga Day.&nbsp;

International Day of Yoga has been celebrated annually on June 21 since 2015, following its inception by the United Nations General Assembly in 2014.

Prime Minister Modi, in his UN address, had suggested the date of 21 June, as it is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and shares a special significance in many parts of the world.

Meanwhile, Embassy of India in Kathmandu had earlier organised virtual seventh International Day of Yoga, as part of its ongoing celebration of India@75 'Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’.

According to a new study, people with metabolic diseases, like Type-2 diabetes or cancer or those exposed to organophosphate pesticides are at a higher risk of contracting <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/coronavirus">COVID-19</a> infection.

The study was conducted by a team from the US-based&nbsp;University of South Carolina and was led by Saurabh Chatterjee.

Chatterjee and his team identified an inflammation-linked basic mechanism that can increase susceptibility to COVID-19 infection among people exposed to organophosphates.&nbsp;

Their findings show that people suffering from cancer and/or Type-2 diabetes can also potentially be at a higher risk from COVID-19, because in such ailments, the body tends to display a similar inflammation type.

Gulf War Illness, a multi-symptomatic disorder, whose symptoms include fatigue, muscle pain, cognitive problems, insomnia, respiratory disorders, rashes and diarrhoea etc; is also caused by exposure to organophosphate pesticides.

The team also conducted an investigation into the increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in relation to exposure to organophosphate pesticide chlorpyrifos and increased levels of Interleukin 6 (IL-6).

As part of their study, multiple groups of cells were created. One group of human lung airway Epithelial cells were exposed to either IL-6 or Chlorpyrifos or to a combination of both, for six hours. While serving as a control, the other group of cells received no exposure.

After that, the cells with the spike proteins that cover the outside of SARS-CoV-2 were treated. During the course of infection, a process begins that allows the virus to release its genetic material into the healthy cell, this happens when spike proteins bind with angiotensin, converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors to our cells.

The researchers discovered that when the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was present, cells exposed to IL-6 and the pesticide exhibited increased apoptosis, or controlled cell death.

Compared to cells that were unexposed or exposed to the pesticide alone, cells exposed to both the pesticide and IL-6 notably had more ACE2 expression on the apical cell surface. While the basolateral membrane touches the surrounding tissues, the apical membrane of airway cells faces the interior of the airway. The researchers explained that increased ACE2 receptor expression on the apical surface means that additional viruses will attach to the cells.

Lead researcher Saurabh Chatterjee also said, “Since people with obesity, Type-2 diabetes or cancer also have high circulatory IL-6 levels, we think people with these conditions will also have increased susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection because of increased translocation of ACE2 receptor to the apical cell surface,”.

The findings of the study will be presented at the virtual Experimental Biology (EB) 2021 meeting to be held April 27-30.

The team also conducted an investigation into the increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in relation to exposure to organophosphate pesticide chlorpyrifos and increased levels of Interleukin 6 (IL-6). As part of their study, multiple groups of cells were created. One group of human lung airway Epithelial cells were exposed to either IL-6 or Chlorpyrifos or to a combination of both, for six hours. While serving as a control, the other group of cells received no exposure. After that, the cells with the spike proteins that cover the outside of SARS-CoV-2 were treated. During the course of infection, a process begins that allows the virus to release its genetic material into the healthy cell, this happens when spike proteins bind with angiotensin, converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors to our cells. The researchers discovered that when the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was present, cells exposed to IL-6 and the pesticide exhibited increased apoptosis, or controlled cell death. Compared to cells that were unexposed or exposed to the pesticide alone, cells exposed to both the pesticide and IL-6 notably had more ACE2 expression on the apical cell surface. While the basolateral membrane touches the surrounding tissues, the apical membrane of airway cells faces the interior of the airway. The researchers explained that increased ACE2 receptor expression on the apical surface means that additional viruses will attach to the cells. Lead researcher Saurabh Chatterjee also said, “Since people with obesity, Type-2 diabetes or cancer also have high circulatory IL-6 levels, we think people with these conditions will also have increased susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection because of increased translocation of ACE2 receptor to the apical cell surface,”. The findings of the study will be presented at the virtual Experimental Biology (EB) 2021 meeting to be held April 27-30.

Diabetes, cancer, exposure to pesticide increase COVID-19 risk: Study

Two patients with advanced brain cancer have responded well in a small experimental trial of combining chemo and immunotherapy drugs.&nbsp;

In one situation, the life-threatening tumour appears to have gone, The Guardian reported.&nbsp;

However, researchers at the Institute of Cancer Research and the Royal Marsden hospital in London have stressed that these are early days but added that it was unusual that such a positive response has been generated in the early trial.&nbsp;

In the phase 1 trial named Ice-Cap, ten people were enrolled who had advance glioblastoma, a tumour similar to the one that killed US President Joe Biden's son Beau.&nbsp;

Two patients responded to the immunotherapy agent atezolizumab combined with ipatasertib.

Ipatasertib is a new precision drug that may have the potential to uncloak tumours to the immune system.&nbsp;

A majority of patients in the trial had tumours with defects in a gene called Pten and in four cases, including the two people who responded very well, the Pten gene did not work at all.&nbsp;

"Brain cancer is able to evade the immune system in complex ways and, until now, immunotherapy has not worked. However, by uncloaking the disease using a new drug called ipatasertib, this study suggests that we could make some brain cancers vulnerable to atezolizumab," Dr Juanita Lopez, who led the study said.&nbsp;

"We believe that our findings open the door to the further development of what could become a gamechanging treatment option for some patients with aggressive glioblastoma brain cancer. Patients with glioblastoma have very poor survival rates, and even fewer new treatment options coming through, so any advance in outcomes would be extremely welcome."

Early findings suggest new drug could be 'gamechanging' to treat brain cancer

Bollywood actress and Chandigarh MP Kirron Kher is reportedly suffering from a type of blood cancer and undergoing treatment for the same, according to her colleagues in Bhartiya Janata Party.&nbsp; 
 
On Wednesday, the Chandigarh BJP president Arun Sood addressed a press conference and said that the 68-year-old MP was on a recovery path. She had begun treatment for the disease last year. 
 
“She had suffered a broken left arm at her Chandigarh house on November 11 last year. After her medical tests at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh, she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The disease had spread to her left arm and right shoulder. For treatment she had to go to Mumbai on December 4,” said Sood. 
 
The actress was reportedly being treated in Mumbai's Kokilaben Hospital and the disease had receded from her arm and shoulder after months of treatment.&nbsp; 
 
“Even though she is recovering after her four-month treatment and no longer admitted at Kokilaben Hospital, Mumbai, she has to visit the hospital regularly for treatment," Sood added.&nbsp;

The news was confirmed by her husband, actor Anupam Kher on Twitter on Thursday.&nbsp;

Kher was elected to the Lok Sabha in 2014 and then re-elected in 2019.&nbsp; 
 
The revelation about her illness comes after she and her party were criticised by the opposition Congress for her prolonged absence from Chandigarh during the Covid-19 outbreak. Kher was accussed of ignoring her constituency during the pandemic.&nbsp; 
 
Kher had released a video in April last year, countering the allegations.&nbsp; 
 
On Wednesday, Sood stated that the actress-turned-politician was in Chandigarh till December. "She was in the city till December last year. She is a senior citizen and diabetic. She was advised against venturing outside the house during the lockdown. Only to get treatment for the disease she had left the city. Despite her illness, Kher has been in regular touch with me discussing various city-related issues,” Sood added.
