Unlocking glioblastoma's immune suppression mechanism

The Wistar Institute assistant professor Filippo Veglia, Ph.D., and team, have discovered a key mechanism of how glioblastoma -; a serious and often fatal brain cancer -; suppresses the immune system so that the tumor can grow unimpeded by the body's defenses.

New scoring system identifies risks in coronary artery interventions

New data demonstrated that a left main (LM) bifurcation-specific novel scoring system (LM V-RESOLVE), based on three simple baseline angiographic findings, could help to rapidly discriminate lesions at risk of side branch (SB) occlusion during LM bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) – reducing risk during the procedure.
