Multi-center study validates systemic score in identifying high-risk patients with Still's disease

A multi-centre, observational, prospective study was designed to evaluate the clinical usefulness of the systemic score in predicting life-threatening evolution – defined as the development of macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) and/or mortality.

HiDEF-seq technique reveals the origins of DNA mutations in single strands

Mutations are changes in the molecular "letters" that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including cancer.

First-in-human trial shows safety and efficacy of CAR T cell therapy for advanced prostate cancer

Treating prostate cancer with immunotherapy is currently difficult to do. But results from a first in-human phase 1 trial using a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy developed by researchers from City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, showed that patients with advanced prostate cancer can be treated safely with the cellular immunotherapy with promising therapeutic activity, according to the phase 1 trial study published today in Nature Medicine.

Transplanted gut microbes from aged mice trigger inflammation in young germ-free mice

When scientists transplanted the gut microbes of aged mice into young "germ-free" mice - raised to have no gut microbes of their own - the recipient mice experienced an increase in inflammation that parallels inflammatory processes associated with aging in humans.

Inherited gene sequences predict breast cancer type and severity, study reveals

A Stanford Medicine study of thousands of breast cancers has found that the gene sequences we inherit at conception are powerful predictors of the breast cancer type we might develop decades later and how deadly it might be.

Stanford study finds 15-day paxlovid treatment safe but ineffective for long COVID

In a clinical trial conducted by Stanford Medicine investigators and their colleagues, a 15-day course of Paxlovid - an antiviral drug combination targeting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 - proved safe as an extended-duration treatment but didn't lessen select symptoms of the syndrome known as long COVID: the persistence, or reappearance, of COVID-related symptoms three months or more after an initial COVID-19 infection.

Critical role of protein-lipid interactions in mitochondrial energy production revealed

By studying mutations in yeast and human cells, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found that biochemical bonds between fats and proteins in the mitochondrion, the cell's powerhouse, play a crucial role in how our cells produce energy.

Study sheds light on the rate and nature of mutations in mitochondrial DNA

A new study from deCODE genetics uses pedigrees and sequence data from 64,806 Icelanders to shed light on the rate and nature of mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the peculiar dynamics of its maternal transmission.
