How carrageenan affects insulin resistance

A randomized controlled trial found that carrageenan, a common food additive, may cause subclinical inflammation and insulin resistance in overweight individuals, mediated by gut permeability and inflammation. Effects were linked to BMI but not observed in non-overweight participants during short-term exposure.

New CAR T-cell therapy shows promise against aggressive HER2+ breast cancer

One-third of HER2-positive (HER2+) tumors express the P95HER2 protein, which associates with an aggressive form of breast cancer with a poorer prognosis. Investigators of the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology's (VHIO) Growth Factors Group, in collaboration with researchers of the Cancer Research Program of Hospital del Mar Research Institute (HMRI), Barcelona, have developed novel chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy that can produce a potent antitumor response against p95HER2-expressing cells.
