Combining treatments to boost tumor response in lung cancer
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, in collaboration with Revolution Medicines, have tested a combination of treatments in mice with lung cancer and shown that these allow immunotherapies to target non-responsive tumors.
Optimized nanoadjuvants enhance in situ tumor vaccine for ovarian cancer
This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how molecular glue triggers degradation of PHGDH by enhancing the interaction between DDB1 and PHGDH.
Chemical genetics uncovers promising anti-COVID compounds
This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses the identification of novel small-molecule inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 by chemical genetics.
Researchers gain new understanding of how immune cells respond to heat during fever
The study reveals that moderate fever enhances CD4 T cell activity while reducing regulatory T cell suppression, highlighting temperature's immune effects.
Heme oxygenase 1 and ferroptosis in Kupffer cells linked to heat stroke injury
This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how heme oxygenase 1-mediated ferroptosis in Kupffer cells initiates liver injury during heat stroke.
A faster, cheaper method to detect immune autoantibodies in whole blood
Researchers developed a quick and affordable whole-blood assay to detect autoantibodies against type I IFNs, enabling rapid diagnostics for immune disorders. This new method has potential clinical impact by addressing key limitations of current tests.
New approach to B-ALL treatment reduces side effects and enhances survival
Clinical trial results from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate benefits to using genomics and early treatment response to guide risk classification of children with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).
Breath analysis promises rapid diagnosis of lower respiratory infections
A proof-of-concept study promises the speedy diagnosis of lower respiratory tract infections through analysis of human breath.
Innovative HiTIP-seq method advances epigenetic research in pediatric brain tumors
Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a highly aggressive and fatal pediatric high-grade glioma that primarily affects critical regions of the central nervous system, such as the pons, thalamus, and spinal cord.
Brain connectivity changes after psilocybin treatment in body dysmorphic disorder patients
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a debilitating mental illness characterized by an obsessive preoccupation with perceived flaws in one's physical appearance.
Neuroactive drugs show promising anti-glioblastoma effects in preclinical trials
Study explores the potential to repurpose neuroactive drugs, originally approved for neurological disorders, for the treatment of glioblastoma. Vortioxetine, an antidepressant, showed promising anti-glioblastoma activity, significantly reducing tumor size in preclinical trials.
Neurostimulation target identified for treating PTSD in veterans
A new study led by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital, a founding member of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system, suggests that using neurostimulation therapies on a specific brain network could treat post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans.
Study reveals how inflammatory immune cells enhance prostate cancer resistance
There is a challenge related to prostate and many other cancers that cancer cells form resistance to treatments as the disease progresses. However, these resistance mechanisms are not yet fully understood.
Ultra-short heart rate variability recordings transform recovery tracking for TBI survivors
For the over 1 million Americans who survive severe traumatic brain injuries each year, the road to recovery is often long and challenging.
