Newswise — The FDA recently approved a new drug that is highly effective at preventing HIV transmission with just two annual subcutaneous injections. In clinical trials, Lenacapavir was found to be nearly 100% effective in the prevention of HIV. Current prevention measures require patients to take medication daily or receive an injection six times a…
Newswise — One reason that scientists like Dr Kristie Bloom would painstakingly work with minuscule particles and molecules in labs, over many years, is to create simpler and more swiftly manufactured vaccines that are designed to save lives. Bloom is working off a long and necessary history—traditionally, vaccines work when a weakened virus, or a piece of…
BYLINE: Leigh Hataway Newswise — A vaccine developed by University of Georgia researchers successfully protects against and treats vaginal yeast infections in mice, according to a newly published study. This is the newest application of the vaccine, which was previously shown to protect against the three most common fungal pathogens in four preclinical animal models,…

Newswise — CLEVELAND—Pancreatic cancer has a five-year survival rate of just 13%, making it the deadliest cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. It typically causes no symptoms until it has already metastasized. Surgery, radiation and chemotherapy can extend survival, but rarely provide a cure. Now, researchers at Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic…
Newswise — CLEVELAND—CAR T cell immunotherapy, which uses a patient’s own modified immune cells to find and destroy cancer cells, can produce dramatic results when treating blood cancers like lymphoma and leukemia and shows promise against solid tumors. But harvesting T cells, a type of white blood cell that helps the immune system fight germs…
Newswise — Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment by mobilizing the immune system to attack tumour cells. Major advances, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (notably against the PD-1 protein), have produced impressive results against certain types of cancer, including melanoma and kidney cancer. These treatments “take the brakes off” the immune system, increasing its ability to…
