Stanford study finds low risk of secondary blood cancers after CAR-T cell therapy

A large study by researchers at Stanford Medicine has found that the risk of secondary blood cancers after CAR-T cell therapy -; a cell-based cancer treatment that exploded on the scene in 2017 as a treatment for intractable blood cancers -; is low, despite a Food and Drug Administration warning.

Enhancing CAR-T cell therapy with biodegradable scaffolds

CAR-T cell therapies are transforming the treatment of previously incurable blood cancers. Six approved CAR-T products have been administered to more than 20,000 people, and more than 500 clinical trials are underway.

First-in-human trial shows safety and efficacy of CAR T cell therapy for advanced prostate cancer

Treating prostate cancer with immunotherapy is currently difficult to do. But results from a first in-human phase 1 trial using a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy developed by researchers from City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, showed that patients with advanced prostate cancer can be treated safely with the cellular immunotherapy with promising therapeutic activity, according to the phase 1 trial study published today in Nature Medicine.

Researchers engineer water-soluble histidine kinase for enhanced antibiotic drug screens

A bacterial enzyme called histidine kinase is a promising target for new classes of antibiotics. However, it has been difficult to develop drugs that target this enzyme, because it is a "hydrophobic" protein that loses its structure once removed from its normal location in the cell membrane.

Metabolic surgery proven most effective for sustained weight loss over GLP-1 drugs and lifestyle interventions

Systematic reviews of medical literature between 2020 to 2024 show bariatric surgery, also known as metabolic or weight-loss surgery, produces the greatest and most sustained weight loss compared to GLP-1 receptor agonists and lifestyle interventions.

Johns Hopkins researchers discover how epilepsy drug modulates brain activity

By super cooling a molecule on the surface of brain cells down to about minus 180 degrees Celsius -; nearly twice as cold as the coldest places in Antarctica -; scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have determined how a widely-used epilepsy drug works to dampen the excitability of brain cells and help to control, although not cure, seizures.

Transplanted gut microbes from aged mice trigger inflammation in young germ-free mice

When scientists transplanted the gut microbes of aged mice into young "germ-free" mice -; raised to have no gut microbes of their own -; the recipient mice experienced an increase in inflammation that parallels inflammatory processes associated with aging in humans.
