Glioblastoma patients live longer with triple treatment strategy

A new study led by Keck Medicine of USC researchers may have uncovered an effective combination therapy for glioblastoma, a brain tumor diagnosis with few available effective treatments.

Accelerated biological aging found in children with multiple sclerosis

Researchers from University of California San Diego School of Medicine have discovered that children living with multiple sclerosis (MS) show signs of accelerated biological aging, even in their teenage years.

Scientists unlock potential of cytokine adjuvants in mRNA vaccines

In the quest to design vaccines that better help the body's immune system fight disease, scientists are always looking for more tools for their arsenal.

New technique creates multimeric aptamers for precision virus targeting

We have all heard of antibodies – proteins produced by our bodies to bind to viruses or bacteria, marking them for elimination by the immune system.

Study aims to demystify the immune toxicity triggered by osimertinib-ICI co-treatment

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for the majority of lung cancer cases and remains a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide.

Oncologists push for age inclusive use of cancer treatments

Recent advances have resulted in highly effective "tissue-agnostic" drugs that treat cancers based on their molecular markers rather than their tissue of origin, but very few of these drugs are approved for use in children.

Statins linked to lower death rates in critically ill sepsis patients

Sepsis is when the immune system overshoots its inflammatory reaction to an infection, so strongly that the vital organs begin to shut down.

Breakthrough drug delivery system transports genetic therapies directly to the lungs

Scientists have made a key breakthrough for treating respiratory diseases by developing a new drug delivery system that transports genetic therapies directly to the lungs, opening promising possibilities for patients with conditions like lung cancer and cystic fibrosis.

New biological age clock estimates how well someone is aging

A team of international researchers has developed a new biological age "clock" that estimates how well someone is aging, not just how "old" they or their various organs might be.

Loss of Y chromosome in male immune cells linked to poorer cancer outcomes

A study initiated by a University of Arizona Comprehensive Cancer Center physician-scientist defined for the first time how loss of the Y chromosome in male immune cells negatively affects immune system function, which may explain why loss of Y is associated with lower cancer survival rates.

Genetic mutation identified as key factor in immunotherapy resistance for melanoma

Tests in 1,225 patients with the most deadly form of skin cancer reveal for the first time a genetic trait among most of those who did not respond to the latest cancer treatments, known as immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Early gut bacteria may help protect babies from respiratory infections

A baby's makeup of gut bacteria - their microbiome - which starts to form as soon as they are born, could help protect against viral infections later in childhood, a new study suggests.

FDA approves ENCELTO implant to preserve sight in people with macular telangiectasia type 2

For people diagnosed with macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel)-a rare and slowly progressing retinal disease-there have been no FDA-approved (or other) treatments to slow or stop vision loss.

Integrating discoveries with translational science to transform Alzheimer's care

At the 12th annual Helen and Robert Appel Alzheimer's Disease Research Institute Symposium, scientists and clinicians shared their latest research which is advancing how Alzheimer's disease is diagnosed and treated.

Y chromosome loss linked to poor cancer outcomes

When cancer cells in male patients and immune cells in their tumors both lose the Y chromosome, those patients tend to experience poorer outcomes than patients without Y chromosome loss, according to new findings from Cedars-Sinai investigators.

Individual immune variation shapes the evolution of influenza strains

A new study has shown that person-to-person variation in antibody immunity plays a key role in shaping which influenza (flu) strains dominate in a population.

Maternal obesity linked to children's heightened risk of infection-related hospitalizations

Children born to mothers who are very obese with a BMI of 35 or higher are at heightened risk of being admitted to hospital for an infection, finds a long term study published in the open access journal BMJ Medicine.

Japanese study shows c-sections do not raise allergy risk in children

A Japanese study reveals cesarean births do not increase childhood allergy risk, contradicting earlier findings and highlighting the need for further research.

Study uncovers how HSV-1 disables the brain's antiviral defense

Infections caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) can lead to HSV-1 encephalitis-a rare but deadly condition that inflames the brain.

Asthma drug once hoped to treat alcohol use disorder fails to meet expectations in UCLA trial

A drug that once showed promise as a treatment for alcohol use disorder did not work as expected, a new UCLA clinical trial found.
