Scientists discover autoimmune disease associated with testicular cancer
(University of California - San Francisco) Using advanced technology, scientists at Chan Zuckerberg (CZ) Biohub, Mayo Clinic and University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), have discovered an autoimmune disease that appears to affect men with testicular cancer.Called 'testicular cancer-associated paraneoplastic encephalitis,' the disease causes severe neurological symptoms in men. They progressively lose control of their limbs, eye movements, and speech. The disease begins with a testicular tumor, which may cause the immune system to attack the brain.

New Compound Could Make Chemotherapy More Effective
A research team from the Duke University Medical Center and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has uncovered a new compound with potential to make chemotherapy more effective in treating various cancers.
The small-molecule inhibitor drug — JH-RE-06 — showed an ability to better-sensitize tumors to Cisplatin, the popular chemotherapy drug most often used for mesothelioma cancer patients.
When combined with Cisplatin, the drug also showed an ability to prevent those tumor cells from becoming treatment resistant, a common problem with this rare cancer caused by asbestos exposure.
The research was done on live mice...
