Tirzepatide helps people without diabetes lose 13% body weight in real-world study

A real-world study of over 4,000 US patients without type 2 diabetes found that those who persisted with Tirzepatide for at least six months lost an average of 12.9% of their body weight. The study highlights Tirzepatide’s potential as an effective off-label obesity treatment before its formal FDA approval for weight loss.

Reprogramming T cells to overcome tumor challenges

Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of T cells, scientists at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology and their collaborators demonstrated a remarkable ability to boost the immune system's fight against cancer, showing promise for improving patient outcomes in difficult-to-treat malignancies.
