Genetic variants may reduce effectiveness of popular diabetes drugs

More than a quarter of people with Type 2 diabetes take GLP-1 receptor agonists, but the popular diabetes drugs might not work as well for people who have certain genetic variants, according to a new study by Stanford Medicine scientists and their collaborators.

Study reveals immune aging differs significantly between men and women

Statistics show clear differences in the population's immune system according to sex: men are more susceptible to infections and cancers, while women have stronger immune responses, which translate, for example, into better responses to vaccines.

Genetic variants may help explain who loses more weight and who gets side effects on GLP-1 drugs

A large 23andMe-based GWAS found that common variants in GLP1R and GIPR help explain why some people lose more weight or experience more nausea and vomiting on GLP-1 drugs. The findings suggest genetics may eventually help predict who responds best to semaglutide or tirzepatide and who is more likely to develop side effects.

Precision medicine tools offer hope for patients with rare blood cancers

Personalized approaches have dramatically improved outcomes for many patients with non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphomas—blood cancers that arise in immune cells called B cells—yet the same is not true for patients with more rare lymphoma types that originate in immune cells called T cells.
