New approach to immunotherapy provokes a robust anti-tumor immune response in preclinical models

A new approach to cancer immunotherapy that uses one type of immune cell to kill another - rather than directly attacking the cancer - provokes a robust anti-tumor immune response that shrinks ovarian, lung, and pancreatic tumors in preclinical disease models, according to researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.

Analysis finds link between cumulative occupational exposure and waning lung capacity

Workplace exposure to gases, dusts, fumes, and aromatic solvents used in paints, varnishes, and glues, is linked to waning lung capacity above and beyond that associated with normal aging, finds a pooled data analysis of the available evidence, published online in the journal Occupational & Environmental Medicine.

Regular statin use may reduce the risk of death and severity of COVID-19

Commonly used cholesterol-lowering statins may reduce the risk of death and severity of COVID-19 disease, suggests a study of more than 38,000 patients being presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY 2022 annual meeting.

Study reveals TBX20 as a vital regulator of direct human cardiac reprogramming

Mammalian hearts have almost no ability to grow new heart muscle cells, called cardiomyocytes, after birth. Thus, dead tissue after an adult heart attack is not repaired with new cardiomyocytes.

Surprising discovery in people of Polynesian ancestry offers clues to genetic underpinnings of high cholesterol

The discovery of a genetic variant that is relatively common among people of Polynesian ancestry, but incredibly rare in most other populations, is giving clues to the genetic underpinnings of high cholesterol in all people, according to new research led by University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health geneticists in partnership with several other groups, including the University of Otago and the Samoan health research community.

New evidence-based clinical guidelines expand patient eligibility for metabolic and bariatric surgery

Two of the world's leading authorities on bariatric and metabolic surgery have issued new evidence-based clinical guidelines that among a slew of recommendations expand patient eligibility for weight-loss surgery and endorse metabolic surgery for patients with type 2 diabetes beginning at a body mass index (BMI) of 30, a measure of body fat based on a person's height and weight and one of several important screening criteria for surgery.

Study uses pluripotent stem cell models to investigate stress response in PTSD patients

Stem cell-derived neurons from combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) react differently to a stress hormone than those from veterans without PTSD, a finding that could provide insights into how genetics can make someone more susceptible to developing PTSD following trauma exposure.
