New exosome-based therapeutic strategy to potentially treat late-stage colorectal cancer
In a recent discovery by University of Minnesota Medical School, researchers uncovered a new way to potentially target and treat late-stage colorectal cancer - a disease that kills more than 50,000 people each year in the United States.
The team identified a novel mechanism by which colorectal cancer cells evade an anti-tumor immune response, which helped them develop an exosome-based therapeutic strategy to potentially treat the disease.
Late-stage colorectal cancer patients face enormous challenges with current treatment options. Most of the time, the patient s immune system cannot efficiently fight against tumors, even with the help of the FDA-approved cancer immunotherapies.

A new study by five doctoral students in neuroscience at the University of Minnesota Medical School calls attention to a lack of regulation and unknown long-term health effects of tear gas. Based on their research, the group recommends changing the protocols around the use of tear gas as a crowd control measure at both the local and national level.
