Blocking a key gene regulator may restore immune response in cancer therapy
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapy by harnessing the body’s immune system to target tumors. Despite their initial clinical success, many patients eventually experience diminished therapeutic responses as tumors acqui…
Stanford scientists uncover why mRNA COVID vaccines can trigger heart inflammation
Stanford scientists have uncovered how mRNA COVID-19 vaccines can very rarely trigger heart inflammation in young men — and how that risk might be reduced. They found that the vaccines can spark a two-step immune reaction that floods the body with infl…
Scientists develop targeted therapy for T-cell lymphomas and leukemias
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center’s Ludwig Center developed a new treatment that selectively targets TRBC2-positive T-cell cancers, expanding a precision approach they established in 2024 for TRBC1-positive tumors.
Study reveals low immunity against H3N2 strain in Hong Kong: Early vaccination urged
Flu activity has surged in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere, driven primarily by a newly emerged H3N2 strain known as subclade K.
TIGIT protein inhibition could help immune system target cancer cells
Researchers at the University of Sharjah are exploring a promising approach that could enhance the immune system’s ability to fight cancer, potentially paving the way for new treatments.
Does being infected or vaccinated first influence COVID-19 immunity?
A new study analyzing the immune response to COVID-19 in a Catalan cohort of health workers sheds light on an important question: does it matter whether a person was first infected or first vaccinated?
A new strategy for immune tolerance: Engineered extracellular vesicles show promise
A research team at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) and the Faculty of Medicine at Kanazawa University has developed a new class of engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) capable of inducing antigen-specific regulatory T cells (Tregs), th…
Eczema injectable drug provides quick itch relief, clinical trial results show
A recently approved injectable eczema drug provides quick itch relief to patients with the maddening skin disease, a new study says.
RNA steps outside the cell to help guide immune responses, study suggests
RNA is usually portrayed as a molecule that works deep inside the cell, helping to turn genetic information into proteins. But new research led by Utrecht University scientist Jack Li shows that RNA also plays an active role on the outside of cells. Th…
