Imaging drug that illuminates ovarian cancer tissue when exposed to fluorescent light gets FDA approval

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today approved an imaging drug known as Cytalux (pafolacianine), which is attracted to ovarian cancer tissue and illuminates it when exposed to fluorescent light, allowing surgeons to more easily find and more precisely remove the cancer.

Many long-haul COVID-19 patients may experience breathing issues, chronic fatigue syndrome

Many long-haul COVID-19 patients have chronic fatigue syndrome and other breathing issues months after their initial COVID-19 diagnosis, according to study in JACC: Heart Failure, which is the first of its kind to identify a correlation between long-haul COVID-19 and chronic fatigue syndrome.

International collaboration secures €1M grant to investigate new treatment target for lymphoma

An international collaboration involving researchers from Queen Mary University of London, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston has secured a €1M research grant from Dutch blood cancer charity, Lymph&Co, to investigate a new treatment target for lymphoma.

Safety and immunogenicity of COVID-19 peptide vaccine

In a study published in Nature, researchers from University Hospital Tübingen have been investigating the results from a Phase I trial for a new vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Study proves safety and effectiveness of novel radionuclide therapy for neuroendocrine neoplasms

A new type of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) has been shown to control disease in 85 percent of patients with metastatic neuroendocrine neoplasms, achieving complete remission in some patients.

Sheep at low-risk for infection with SARS-CoV-2

A team of scientists from the US has recently evaluated the susceptibility of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in sheep. The findings reveal that sheep are generally less susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, the susceptibility is relatively higher for the alpha variant of the virus. The study is currently available on the bioRxiv preprint server.

GABA secreted by B-cells blunts the body's cytotoxic T-cell-based response to tumors

A group of scientists led by researchers from the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences have discovered that B-cells, a type of immune cell, secrete the neurotransmitter GABA, and also found that the GABA secreted by the B-cells promoted the emergence of anti-inflammatory macrophages, blunting the body's cytotoxic T-cell-based response to tumors.

CDC scientists confirm imported monkeypox case in Maryland

Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are collaborating with the Maryland Department of Health and other health partners to investigate a case of monkeypox in a traveler who returned to the United States from Nigeria.

New method of stem cell transplantation may eliminate the need for radiation or chemotherapy

Studying mice, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a method of stem cell transplantation that does not require radiation or chemotherapy.

The role of T follicular helper cells in the humoral immune response to SARS-CoV-2

The current analysis indicates that cTfh cells react to the spike antigen following vaccination are associated with anti-S protein neutralizing antibodies.

Researchers explain why decaying SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in blood are not a problem after vaccination

A new study published in the preprint bioRxiv* server suggests vaccination helps to inflate the number of somatic hypermutations acquired by B cells. The increase in somatic hypermutations allows for an accumulation of highly matured bone marrow plasma cells.

Experts reveal improved survival for patients with two out of three types of advanced breast cancer

Patients with two out of the three most common types of advanced breast cancer now have an average survival time of at least five years, according to a panel of experts at the Advanced Breast Cancer Sixth International Consensus Conference (ABC 6).

Study discovers how the immune system triggers an 'emergency' dendritic cell response during infection

Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have found how the immune system triggers an 'emergency' dendritic cell response during infection, with dendritic cells at the site of infection being reinforced by new cells which travel from the bone marrow.

Study opens a window for new therapeutic approaches to ovarian cancer

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has uncovered a cellular interaction that is essential to the ability of the immune system's cytotoxic T lymphocytes to destroy ovarian tumors and shown that its engagement could help determine the efficacy of checkpoint blockade immunotherapy in a variety of cancers.
