Research warns of long-term health consequences from Ukraine conflict

The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has led to severe humanitarian crises, including widespread food shortages. According to the United Nations World Food Programme, an estimated 11 million Ukrainians - about one-third of the population - were at risk of hunger in 2023. This crisis, exacerbated by supply chain disruptions and extreme weather events, could increase diabetes prevalence not only in Ukraine but globally, argue Peter Klimek and Stefan Thurner from the Complexity Science Hub in a commentary published in the journal Science.

Discovery of progenitor exhausted T cells offers hope for cancer patients

Tumor immunotherapy leverages the body's immune system to target and eradicate cancer cells, offering a crucial treatment for patients unresponsive to surgery or conventional therapies. Despite its potential, the effectiveness of immunotherapy is often hindered by T cell exhaustion within the tumor microenvironment, leading to diminished immune response and tumor progression. Based on these challenges, exploring the role of progenitor exhausted T cells (Tpex) in overcoming immune resistance is essential for advancing immunotherapeutic strategies and improving clinical outcomes.
