Researchers design factor IX variants for short- and long-term Hemophilia B management

After blood vessel damage, effective blood clotting is essential to halt bleeding. However, this process is inefficient in some individuals due to hereditary factors. Hemophilia B, for example, results from a deficiency in coagulation factor IX (FIX), which can lead to prolonged bleeding after injuries or surgery.

Precision probiotics lower blood sugar and cholesterol in mice

Researchers developed a precision probiotic cocktail comprising three Lactobacillus strains that improved glucose control, reduced weight gain, and lowered cholesterol levels in mice fed a high-fat diet. Metabolomic and microbiome analyses revealed host metabolic adaptations and beneficial shifts in gut bacteria, highlighting translational potential for future clinical trials.

Genetic modification enhances "living drugs" for blood cancers

CAR T cells are patient-derived, genetically engineered immune cells. They are "living drugs" and constitute a milestone in modern medicine. Equipping T cells, a key cell type of the immune system, with a "chimeric antigen receptor" (CAR) enables them to specifically recognize and attack cancer cells.
