Genetic Test Predicts Whether Bowel Cancer Patients Can Benefit From Chemotherapy

Researchers have discovered that a genetic test, an established part of standard care in the UK and globally to predict patients' responses to other targeted cancer drugs, can also predict whether chemotherapy will work for bowel cancer patients. This discovery could aid in sparing patients from unnecessary toxicity and debilitating side effects by avoiding treatments that will not benefit them. More...

Ground-Breaking Test Assesses Expansion and Persistence of CAR-T Therapy in Cancer Patients

Research has shown that the persistence and expansion of CAR-T therapy are important indicators of how long the therapy can remain effective in the patient. Now, a ground-breaking test provides clinicians with an accurate and comprehensive assessment of the CAR-T cell population in the patient's body and offers insights to therapy effectiveness. More...

Study of Emerging Pathogens to Better Understand Influenza-Antibody Interactions Could Improve Diagnostics

For long, scientists have wondered why aquatic birds, particularly ducks, which are carriers of influenza viruses rarely become severely ill themselves. They are yet to find the answer to how their immune systems can be a reservoir for such a highly infectious and pathogenic virus, but still remain mostly unharmed. Now, a team of investigators will attempt to answer these questions as part of an ambitious, three-year project. More...

Cooperativity Between Myeloid Lineages Promotes Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis Pathology

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an inflammatory myeloid neoplasia seen in children and adults who present with lesions composed of pathologic variants of myeloid cells that share certain phenotypic features with Langerhans cells normally found in the epidermis. More...
