Beyond the Wasting Myth: Rethinking Celiac Disease in Children

A large-scale meta-analysis reveals that the majority of children diagnosed with celiac disease present with a normal BMI, challenging the stereotype of the malnourished patient. The study highlights significant global disparities, where national income levels heavily influence whether a child presents as underweight or overweight.

Study Identifies Melanosome Secretion as a Driver of Melanoma Immune Evasion

Researchers have identified a mechanism where melanoma cells release antigen-carrying vesicles to distract and destroy immune cells. This 'decoy' strategy may explain why some tumours resist T cell infiltration.
