Osaka University
22 Oct 2024
Researchers from Osaka University have discovered that GPR31, found in certain immune cells in the human gut, plays a key role in responding to bacterial metabolites and activating immune responses. Specifically, in the presence of metabolite pyruvate, these cells extend dendrites to sample the gut environment, detect pathogens, and activate T cells through GPR31. This discovery could inform the development of new drugs, vaccines, and probiotics that enhance gut immunity by targeting this pathway.

Researchers from Osaka University have revealed a close link between polyploidy and DNA damage, showing that the presence of DNA damage increases the likelihood of polyploidization occurring, and that polyploid cells are more likely to accumulate DNA damage. However, polyploid cells can also tolerate higher levels of DNA damage, taking longer to enter damage-induced growth arrest and senescence. This discovery will aid the development of novel therapies for certain drug-resistant cancers originating from polyploid cells.

Researchers from Osaka University have demonstrated that ultra-short, high-dose proton irradiation increases cell survival rates even in normoxic conditions, challenging prior assumptions that this effect only occurs in hypoxic environments. This world-first discovery utilizes a new superconducting AVF cyclotron, enabling the application of the "FLASH effect," which minimizes damage to healthy tissues while maintaining local control of the tumor. This breakthrough is expected to lead to a new cancer treatment, FLASH proton therapy, offering fewer side effects and higher tumor control.
