A new study led by researchers from Trinity and the Moffitt Cancer Center shows how radiation therapy can be used to expose-and then eliminate-therapy-resistant cancer cells using natural killer cell immunotherapy. Many patients with metastatic cancers receive therapy that is initially highly effective, often resulting in complete remission.

New Trinity study is first of its kind in Ireland to specifically focus on women to address the disproportionately poor physical health of this population when compared to the general population. A study published by Trinity College researchers from the School of Medicine in the journal BMJ Open , explored the effect of an exercise programme in a Dublin day centre for women who are dealing with challenging issues.

Researchers believe this study further highlights that a key immune system switch warrants full investigation in MS and may be a promising potential target for future MS therapies. Trinity College Dublin researchers have published a new study on MS that has uncovered evidence that a key immune system switch, known as the NLRP3 inflammasome, may play a significant role in the inflammatory processes associated with the pathogenesis of MS.
