Serious side effects after CAR T cell therapy for multiple myeloma share a common immune root cause

Serious side effects, including neurotoxicity and intestinal inflammation, that appear weeks or months after patients receive CAR T cell therapy for multiple myeloma share a common immune root cause, are associated with high rates of death unrelated to cancer relapse-primarily infection-and may be avoidable.

Researchers discover a surprising ally in the fight against insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes

An international research team led by Professor Marc-Emmanuel Dumas at Imperial College London & CNRS together with Prof. Patrice Cani (Imperial & University of Louvain, UCLouvain), Dr. Dominique Gauguier (Imperial & INSERM, Paris) and Prof. Peter Liu (University of Ottawa Heart Institute) has uncovered a surprising ally in the fight against insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes: a microbial metabolite called trimethylamine (TMA).

Study reveals the hidden toll of sudden cardiac death in type 1 and type 2 diabetes

A Danish nationwide study found that people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes have markedly higher rates of sudden cardiac death than the general population, especially at younger ages. At age 30, people with diabetes lose many years of life, with several of those years specifically attributable to sudden cardiac death.

Noninvasive Raman device tracks blood glucose accurately in under a minute

MIT researchers developed a compact band-pass Raman spectroscopy device that noninvasively tracks glucose through the skin in under a minute using physically interpretable optical signals. In a pilot study and tissue phantom validation, the system showed glucose measurements comparable to commercial continuous glucose monitors, supporting further clinical evaluation.

Kiwifruit intake boosts vitamin C in skin and supports dermal structure

Study shows that increasing dietary vitamin C intake with kiwifruit raises vitamin C levels in both the dermis and epidermis through active transport from the bloodstream. Higher skin vitamin C levels were associated with increased skin density and epidermal cell proliferation, but not with improved UV protection or measurable increases in new collagen markers.

Shingles vaccination is linked to fewer dementia diagnoses and deaths in older adults

A large quasi-experimental study in Wales shows that eligibility for shingles vaccination is linked to fewer new mild cognitive impairment diagnoses and lower dementia-related mortality. Benefits appear strongest in women and are observed at multiple stages of the dementia disease course.
