Vaccine-induced immune responses for SARS-CoV-2 in patients receiving anti-CD20 B-cell depleting therapies

A new study published on the medRxiv* preprint server analyzed the trajectories of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in patients from the RituxiVac study were compared to healthy volunteers. In addition, they investigated the immunogenicity of a third vaccine dose in previously non-responding patients.

New therapeutic approach prevents growth of metastatic tumors by putting cancer cells to sleep

A new therapeutic approach prevents the growth of metastatic tumors in mice by forcing cancer cells into a dormant state in which they are unable to proliferate.

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.

Study explains why moles can change into melanoma

Moles and melanomas are both skin tumors that come from the same cell called melanocytes. The difference is that moles are usually harmless, while melanomas are cancerous and often deadly without treatment.

New virtual reality platform could revolutionize the way single-cell omics data is analyzed

Science has the technology to measure the activity of every gene within a single individual cell, and just one experiment can generate thousands of cells worth of data.

Discovery of a broad-spectrum antiviral activity in self-assembling immunostimulatory duplex RNAs

A new study, published on the bioRxiv* preprint server, has discovered a class of new immunostimulatory RNAs while studying influenza infection-associated host genes in human lung epithelial cells using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). Scientists revealed that these short duplex RNAs could induce type I and type III interferons (IFN-I/III) in a wide variety of cells.

New model describes how cultural traumas may drive health disparities

A pair of researchers at the University of California, Riverside, has proposed a new model of "cultural trauma" that describes how traumas such as colonization, hate crimes, and recent anti-immigrant media and policies may drive health disparities in many U.S. cultural groups.

Time of starting antiretroviral therapy can influence tumor development In HIV patients

HIV patients have an increased risk of developing skin and mucosal cancers, even though HIV is no longer detectable in their blood due to antiretroviral therapy.

Novel protein regulator of tumor angiogenesis may be a therapeutic target for difficult-to-treat cancers

A novel protein regulator of tumor angiogenesis, TMEM230, was recently characterized by researchers to have a role in tumor development and vascularization, with potential as a target for anti-tumor therapy in difficult-to-treat cancers such as glioblastoma.

AI identifies patterns on CT scans that offer new promise for treating small cell lung cancer

Researchers at the Center for Computational Imaging and Personalized Diagnostics at Case Western Reserve University have used artificial intelligence (AI) to identify patterns on computed tomography (CT) scans that offer new promise for treating patients with small cell lung cancer.

Interferon beta versus the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant

In a study recently published on the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers investigated the difference in replication efficiency or IFN sensitivity of the four VOCs.

IFITM proteins are important replication cofactors for SARS-CoV-2, including Delta variant

In a study recently published on the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers investigated the IFITM2 dependency of SARS-CoV-2 VOCs, including the delta variant for efficient infection.

Covid-19 could reduce the perception of pain in oncological patients

Physicians from the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) have observed a surprising phenomenon during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic: some patients with cancer-related pain have experiences a significant decrease or even disappearance of pain perception during the acute phase of infection.

Study identifies key factor sustaining malignant tumor state

In a study published in Nature Cancer, researchers led by Prof. Cedric Blanpain, WELBIO investigator, Director of the Laboratory of Stem Cells and Cancer and Professor at the Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, demonstrated that NR2F2 is an essential regulator of malignant tumor state by controlling cancer stem cell and tumor maintenance in mouse and human cancers.
