Microparticle-delivered therapy likely to be the first step toward stopping autoimmune diseases

According to the federal government's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, nearly 3 million people worldwide -; with almost a third in the United States -; are living with multiple sclerosis (MS), a disabling neurological disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks nerves feeding information to the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). Although rarely fatal, MS can lead to long-term disabilities, and impair movement, muscle control, vision and cognition.

Study provides a treasure trove of information on molecular biology of the immune system

Researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys, collaborating with scientists from Eli Lilly and Company, have revealed the structure and function of a drug called LY3361237, which can reduce the harmful activity of the immune system to help treat autoimmune diseases.

SWOG Cancer Research Network clinical trial reveals potential new therapy for Stage 3 or 4 classic Hodgkin lymphoma

A Phase 3 trial has demonstrated that patients with advanced stage (3 or 4) classic Hodgkin lymphoma who underwent initial treatment with nivolumab, a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor, and AVD chemotherapy (N-AVD) had a significantly lower risk of their cancer getting worse than patients treated with brentuximab vedotin, a monoclonal antibody, and AVD (BV-AVD) a year after starting treatment.

University of Louisville researchers receive $5.8 million to prevent immune system dysregulation

Researchers at the University of Louisville have received $5.8 million in two grants from the National Institutes of Health to expand their work to better understand and prevent immune system dysregulation responsible for acute respiratory distress, the condition responsible for serious illness and death in some COVID-19 patients.

High levels of memory killer cells correlate with better survival in melanoma patients

Our skin contains specialized long-lived killer cells that protect against intruders. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark have now identified how these cells are formed, and shown that high levels of memory killer cells in cancer tissue correlate with a better survival rate in people with melanoma.

Artificial viral vectors constructed from bacteriophage T4 show promise for advanced gene delivery

Research presents an assembly-line approach using bacteriophage T4 components to construct artificial viral vectors (AVVs). These AVVs have the potential to revolutionize gene therapies and personalized medicine by enabling the efficient delivery of biomolecules for molecular repairs and genome remodeling.
