Newswise — TAMPA, Fla. (Apr. 11, 2025) — Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have found that tapping into the body’s own immune system and activating a type of immune cell known as B cells, could be the key to boosting the effectiveness of tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte, or TIL therapy. Results of their study were published in…
Newswise — In the continuing evolution of personalized medicine, a new Yale study has found evidence to support the value of a tool that measures the presence of cancer-derived molecules in the blood of patients with lung cancer years after their treatment. This tool is a type of molecular residual disease (MRD) detector, which is…
Abstract/summary: Newswise — Early antibody therapy can prevent severe SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19). However, the effectiveness of COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) therapy in treating severe COVID-19 remains inconclusive. To test a hypothesis that some CCP units are associated with a coagulopathy hazard in severe disease that offsets its benefits, we tracked 304 CCP units administered to…
Newswise — Imagine a previously unknown bug – new to our immune defences – that suddenly emerged and rapidly spread all over the globe, causing the death of millions, and an economic breakdown due to the interruption of work in virtually every country. Imagine, however, that the scientific community develops, in record time, a powerful…
Newswise — Electronic cigarettes use may pose lower cardiovascular risks in people living with HIV compared to tobacco cigarette use, new UCLA-led research shows. The study, published in JAHA, uses a novel laboratory model to examine the early stages of atherogenesis—the buildup of fats and cholesterol in the arteries. The findings suggest that electronic cigarettes…

At a glance: Researchers discovered the importance of an enzyme that promotes growth of certain lung cancers. The enzyme, GUK1, supports metabolism in cancer cells to help tumors grow. In the future, GUK1 could become a possible target for lung cancer therapies. Newswise — Lung cancer is a particularly challenging form of cancer. It often…
