In the largest prospective study to date examining the use of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy in a community setting on an outpatient basis, patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) responded well to treatment with fe…
People with limited-stage small cell lung cancer may benefit from adding immunotherapy to chemoradiation, but not if both treatments are given at the same time, new research finds. The results suggest that the timing of when immunotherapy is given play…
Blood cancer is not a diagnosis anyone wants to receive, but understanding the different types of this disease and how best to catch them early is essential, one expert says.
Roughly 635,000 new cases of lymphoma were diagnosed worldwide, according to the World Cancer Research Fund International’s most recent report. Survival rates for aggressive lymphomas have improved significantly thanks to advances in treatment, such as…
Lipid mediators (LMs), which are physiologically active lipids, play a critical role in promoting and suppressing acute inflammation. This study elucidates the molecular mechanisms by which macrophages, responsible for LM production, transition LMs fro…
Estrogens are known to drive tumor growth in breast cancer cells that carry its receptors, but a new study by Duke Cancer Institute researchers unexpectedly finds that estrogens play a role in fueling the growth of breast cancers without the receptors,…
Currently, kidney transplantation is the most effective treatment to ensure survival and improve the quality of life of patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease, and it is widely practiced in health care systems. However, the monitoring of transp…
In a study published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology, researchers at the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center for Sleep, Circadian and Neuroscience research have explored the effects of circadian rhythm disruption on the lungs. They have…
Exposure to vape and e-cigarette residue on surfaces while pregnant could put unborn babies at risk of immune system damage, new research suggests.
A pair of studies examining immune response in C. elegans reveal broad implications for understanding pathogen detection in higher animals and the evolutionary origins of immunity itself.
