Rice and MD Anderson collaborative harnesses engineering expertise for cancer solutions

Led by Rice’s Gang Bao and MD Anderson’s Dr. Jeffrey Molldrem, the initiative aims to foster collaboration between the two institutions on fundamental and translational cancer research, to develop new technologies for cancer detection and therapy and to secure external funding in support of further research and training. Envisioned as a hub for accelerating the journey […]

New vaccine approach shows promise in targeting less variable region of influenza virus

Duke researchers have opened a new avenue in the attack against influenza viruses by creating a vaccine that encourages the immune system to target a portion of the virus surface that is less variable. Their approach worked well in experiments with mice and ferrets and may lead to more broadly-protective influenza vaccines and less reliance […]

Genetically engineering skin bacteria to fight cancer

While studying a type of bacteria that lives on the healthy skin of every human being, researchers from Stanford Medicine and a colleague may have stumbled on a powerful new way to fight cancer. After genetically engineering the bacteria, called Staphylococcus epidermidis, to produce a tumor antigen (a protein unique to the tumor that’s capable […]

Rising survival rates for AML patients over 65 after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant

Bottom Line: Among patients over 65 who received an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HCT) for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) between 2000 and 2021, leukemia-free and overall survival improved significantly over time. Journal in Which the Study was Published: Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) […]

CAR T cells target senescent cells, improve healthspan in mice

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have transformed the treatment of blood cancers in recent years. And there have been positive signs the “living drugs” can be harnessed against other diseases, like autoimmune disorders. Now laboratory research led by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory suggests these engineered immune cells hold promise for treating some diseases […]

Novel blood test shows promise in detecting early-stage cancers with high accuracy

In a recent article published in the journal BMJ Oncology, researchers developed a novel proteome/liquid biopsy-based diagnostic test to detect less abundant plasma proteins, i.e., biomarkers for various cancers in human organs. Study: Novel proteomics-based plasma test for early detection of multiple cancers in the general population.

Scientists succeed in mapping a central part of the immune system

A new paper in Science Advances details how scientists have succeeded in mapping a central part of the immune system – the HLA class II molecules – while accurately predicting how they display fragments of pathogens on the surface of cells. When we are sick, our immune system – in curing us – relies on […]

Short-chain fatty acids produced by intestinal bacteria play role in dendritic cell elongation

Dendritic cells play a key role in the mammalian immune system. These cells are present throughout the human body and are known to capture foreign bodies, i.e., antigens, using extendable “arms” called dendrites. Once captured, dendritic cells present these substances to immune T cells, thereby initiating an immune response. Dendritic cells are responsive to their […]

GADx’s BotrytisAlert now detects fungal crop pathogen across several critical points in wine production

Global Access Diagnostics (GADx), a social enterprise and leading developer of lateral flow and rapid diagnostic technologies, today announced it has expanded the applications of its low-cost, rapid diagnostic test, BotrytisAlert. Harnessing GADx’s expertise in lateral flow technology, the test has shown to detect and measure the fungal crop pathogen Botrytis across several critical points […]

Novel noninvasive test for malaria does not require a blood sample

A novel testing platform under development by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) and CytoAstra, LLC could provide a new noninvasive test for malaria that doesn’t require a blood sample. The platform technology, known as cytophone, detects malaria infection in blood cells using lasers and ultrasound. Researchers developing the platform believe it […]
