New dual-action, cancer-killing vaccine tested in an advanced mouse model of glioblastoma

Scientists are harnessing a new way to turn cancer cells into potent, anti-cancer agents. In the latest work from the lab of Khalid Shah, MS, PhD, at Brigham and Women's Hospital, a founding member of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system, investigators have developed a new cell therapy approach to eliminate established tumors and induce long-term immunity, training the immune system so that it can prevent cancer from recurring.

Researchers develop new tool to isolate and analyze rare astrocyte regulators

Rare cell types can have an undue influence on human health. Previous research has suggested that a subset of astrocytes - star-shaped cells in the brain and spinal cord - may be responsible for multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease in which the immune system attacks the covering that protects nerves.

Analyzing electronic medical records to identify COVID-19 sequelae

In a recent study published in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, researchers analyzed and compared pre‒ and post‒COVID-19 diagnostic codes to identify symptoms that had higher encounter incidence in the post‒COVID-19 period as sequelae. COVID-19 sequelae and future emerging diseases can be generated and monitored using this method.
