One gene variant could be a shield against severe COVID-19 lung damage

Researchers identify a specific genetic variant, rs2204985, linked to less severe lung involvement and a stronger immune response in COVID-19 patients with severe pneumonia. The study suggests that understanding this genetic marker could help identify high-risk individuals and enhance strategies for prevention and treatment.

Can COVID-19 vaccines turn the tide on long-haul symptoms?

The study finds that COVID-19 vaccination can significantly reduce symptoms and improve well-being in patients suffering from post-COVID-19 conditions (PCC). Vaccination also lowered systemic markers of inflammation but did not entirely eliminate persistent SARS-CoV-2 antigens, which may continue to contribute to inflammation.

Early treatment with convalescent plasma may reduce risk of long COVID

Findings from a nationwide, multicenter study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health suggest that patients with COVID-19 have less chance of developing post-COVID conditions -; commonly known as long COVID -; if they receive early treatment with plasma from convalescent (recovered) COVID patients that contain antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

High-intensity exercise may reduce colorectal cancer risk in Lynch Syndrome patients

Regular and intense aerobic exercise may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer in patients with Lynch Syndrome (LS) by improving the immune system's ability to detect and remove potentially harmful cells, according to researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

New CAR T cell therapy approach minimizes severe side effects

In recent years, cancer researchers have hailed the arrival of chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T) therapy, which has delivered promising results, transforming the fight against various forms of cancer. The process involves modifying patients' T-cells to target cancer cells, resulting in remarkable success rates for previously intractable forms of cancer.

Unlocking the secret soldiers: How dendritic cells could revolutionize cancer immunotherapy

A recent review in the journal Immunity delves into the crucial role of dendritic cells (DCs) in shaping T-cell responses in cancer, highlighting their importance in both priming anti-tumor immunity and in ongoing immune interactions within tumors. The findings underscore the potential of DCs as key targets for next-generation cancer immunotherapies.
