| |  Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading global cause of death in children under age 5 and lacks an effective vaccine. In a study from the Precision Vaccines Program at Boston Children's Hospital, a new vaccine formulation protected newborn mice against infection and evoked strong responses in immune cells from human newborns in the laboratory. Results were reported August 2 in Nature Communications. | |
|
| |  A clinical trial is only as powerful as its participants. For years, researchers have struggled to fill clinical trials and enroll sufficiently diverse groups of patients for results to reflect the broader population, in part because of stringent guidelines on who can participate. | |
|
| |  Younger patients with lung cancer are significantly more likely than older patients to be diagnosed with later stages of disease, illustrating the need to develop strategies to increase the early detection of lung cancer among younger patients who are currently ineligible for lung cancer screening. | |
|
| |  Investigators from Cedars-Sinai Cancer have identified genetic signatures that could predict whether tumors in patients with bladder and other cancers will respond to immunotherapy. | |
|
| |  Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation have identified several proteins involved in the progression of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. | |
|
| |  The goal: Improve survival rates for lung cancer patients. The question researchers want to answer: Are there new ways to determine the best treatment for these patients? | |
|
| |  To address the global burden of tuberculosis (TB), one of humankind's oldest scourges, an international collaboration led by Johns Hopkins Medicine has today been awarded up to $200 million in research funding over five years by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Supporting, Mobilizing and Accelerating Research for Tuberculosis Elimination (SMART4TB) project. | |
|
| |  A large international study of patients with non-small cell lung cancer tumors that are two centimeters or less found that sub lobar surgery was non-inferior to lobectomy, according to results presented today at the IASLC World Conference on Lung Cancer 2022 in Vienna. | |
|
| |  Seven out of ten Australians with asthma aged over 12 years may be prescribed too much preventer medicine. In Australian Prescriber Prof Helen Reddel and coauthors from the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research write about finding the lowest effective dose to control asthma. | |
|
| |  Researchers from Japan today reported that the first phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of durvalumab and concurrent curative radiation therapy for PD-L1-positive unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer without chemotherapy met its primary endpoint with tolerable adverse reactions. | |
|
| |  Cystic fibrosis remains an incurable genetic disorder which impairs lung function and significantly reduces life expectancy. | |
|
| |  Structural differences in lung airways between men and woman may be the cause of differences in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) prevalence and outcomes between the sexes. | |
