A personalized approach to treating pancreatic cancer

It's not surprising that pancreatic cancer is often referred to as a silent killer. With few early symptoms and an aggressive nature, it has one of the lowest survival rates of all cancers.

Maternal eating disorders linked to higher asthma and wheezing risks in children

Eating disorders in mums-to-be are linked to a heightened risk of asthma and wheezing in their children, irrespective of the type of disorder, presence of co-existing depression/anxiety, or the timing of their child's exposure, finds research published online in the journal Thorax.

Shingles vaccine may benefit individuals already diagnosed with dementia, new study finds

An unusual public health policy in Wales may have produced the strongest evidence yet that a vaccine can reduce the risk of dementia.

Lack of dietary iron weakens immune response in the lungs

Researchers at Columbia University have found that a lack of dietary iron early in life can prevent immune cells in the lung from making a key protein that helps fight viral infections, even after iron levels are restored.

Obesity-driven estrone emerges as a key driver of deadly postmenopausal breast cancer

A new analysis of research into the most common type of breast cancer has zeroed in on an overlooked hormone that may be responsible for the increased risk of breast cancer death in post-menopausal women with obesity.

Killer T cell traits explain why some people achieve long-term HIV remission after treatment

Researchers led by a team from Mass General Brigham and the Ragon Institute have discovered why some people living with HIV who are given a treatment called broadly neutralizing anti-HIV antibodies (bNAbs) can safely stop taking standard, lifelong HIV medications and maintain control of the virus for years, while others given the same treatment do not achieve this remission.

New consortium aims to fast-track breakthroughs against follicular lymphoma

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the second most frequent subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system. Although the disease is typically incurable, many cases progress slowly and do not require immediate treatment.

Combination immunotherapy may be the key to control HIV without long-term antiviral treatment

A new study from UC San Francisco shows it may be possible to control HIV without long-term antiviral treatment - an advance that points the way toward a possible cure for a disease that affects 40 million people around the world.

Early-infancy infection with RSV increases the risk of developing childhood asthma

Belgian scientists from VIB and Ghent University (UGent), together with Danish collaborators, have uncovered compelling evidence that early-infancy infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) significantly increases the risk of developing childhood asthma-especially in children with a family history of allergy or asthma.

Study demonstrates a safer strategy for allogeneic stem cell transplants

In preclinical studies, researchers found that priming the immune system with a Treg-expanding therapy before stem cell transplant boosted survival, protected vital organs, and promoted a balanced gut microbiome-offering hope for safer, more effective treatment of blood cancers.
