UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers identified a genetic mutation that slows the growth of melanoma and potentially other cancers by harnessing the power of the immune system.
Patients can die if they take certain previously prescribed beta-blockers during a hematopoietic cell transplant due to suppressed signals from nerves that promote bone marrow regeneration, according to scientists at the Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern, published in Cancer Discovery, builds upon previous CRI research by analyzing retrospective patient data to correlate beta-blocker use with significantly worse patient outcomes.
