Scientists have found the first solid evidence indicating a connection between the loss of the Y chromosome and tumor growth in men with aging.
“If it is missing we can say that these patients will be more likely to respond to “immune checkpoint inhibitors” treatment,” he added.Men have XY as sex chromosomes, and women have XX. So when the researchers say
The study authors realized that the Y chromosome regulates the expression of specific genes in many body cells, including those which make up the bladder. Surprisingly, cancer was found to be growing at a faster rate in mice whose tumor cells lacked the Y chromosome. “These results imply that when cells lose the Y chromosome, they exhaust T-cells. And without T-cells to fight cancer, the tumor grows aggressively,” said Theodorescu.The main limitation of the current study is that it has shown the connection only about. There is a great possibility that Y chromosome loss is also linked to other cancer types.

Scientists discover critical factors that determine the survival of airborne virusesCritical insights into why airborne viruses lose their infectivity have been uncovered by scientists at the University of Bristol. The findings, published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface today, reveal how cleaner air kills the virus significantly quicker and why opening a window may be more important than originally thought. The research could shape future mitigation strategies for new viruses.
