Research provides the basis for an additional novel immunotherapy for multiple myeloma patients

Oncotarget published "Multipeptide stimulated PBMCs generate TEM/TCM for adoptive cell therapy in multiple myeloma" which reported that Multiple Myeloma patients suffer disease relapse due to the development of therapeutic resistance. Increasing evidence suggests that immunotherapeutic strategies can provide durable responses.

Design of peptide vaccine for SARS-CoV-2

In a recent study, researchers from the US identified two immunogenic non-structural proteins - PLpro and RdRp - from immunodominant gene regions ORF1ab, ORF3a and ORF9b as potential targets for a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2.

AI technique could lead to new ways to predict cancer prognosis and treatment response

Researchers and data scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center and MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed an artificial intelligence technique that can identify which cell surface peptides produced by cancer cells called neoantigens are recognized by the immune system.

Study reveals potential therapeutic target to tackle ADHD and impulsivity

A study published in the journal Pharmacological Research describes the existence of a complex built by dopamine and noradrenergic receptors that could be a therapeutic target of potential interest to tackle the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and impulsivity.

T cell immunity induced after mild COVID could contribute to protection against re-infection

An interesting new study finds that in both adults and children, a mild infection with the SARS-CoV-2 elicits an antigen-specific memory T-cell response.

The influence of prior seasonal coronavirus infection on disease severity in COVID-19

A new study posted to the bioRxiv* server attempted to explore anti-spike IgG responses, Fc-gamma receptor (FcγR) activation, IgG targeting of immunodominant regions, and recall responses due to seasonal hCoV infections in non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

20 Sep 2021

Development of a potential pan-variant aerosol to manage COVID-19

Researchers hypothesized that if APN01 could be directly introduced into the airways of an infected person, it could locally neutralize SARS-CoV-2.

Scientists identify a possible “Achilles’ heel” in the frustration of amyloid beta peptides

Progress on treating Alzheimer's disease has been frustratingly slow. A group of scientists in Houston suggest frustration at a very small scale may lead to a new path toward treatment.

Scientists develop a new way to grow tiny replicas of the pancreas

MIT engineers, in collaboration with scientists at Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, have developed a new way to grow tiny replicas of the pancreas, using either healthy or cancerous pancreatic cells.

Allergic reactions provide protection against yeast-triggered asthma, research shows

We think of asthma and other allergic diseases as unnecessary aberrant immune responses that do more harm than good. However, new evidence by an international team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine shows that some allergic reactions provide necessary protection against highly invasive and potentially lethal infectious agents, such as yeast.
