Parasitic worms may help scientists develop therapies for inflammatory conditions

A parasitic worm might be the impetus behind a new generation of medicine. In a recent review in published in Clinical & Translational Immunology, Neima Briggs, MD, Ph.D., instructor of medicine (infectious diseases) at Yale School of Medicine, found that certain types of parasit

CAR T cell therapy leads to 10-year remissions in B-cell lymphoma patients

After a median follow-up of 10 years, more than one-third of patients with large B-cell lymphoma and nearly half of patients with follicular lymphoma who received a single infusion of tisagenlecleucel—the CAR T-cell therapy developed by Carl June, MD, that would go on to become t

Geometric neural 'map' may help bilingual brains navigate between languages

Anyone who speaks more than one language knows the feeling of expressing the same thought through entirely different linguistic lenses. A new study by researchers at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine reveals that the key to this translation ability is a shared geomet

Armed conflict is linked to increased measles cases globally

Countries experiencing armed conflict tend to report more measles cases, and the elevated risk persists even a year after the fighting, according to new research published in PLOS Medicine. The study links armed conflict to measles in two ways: directly, by disrupting immunizatio

Small-molecule antiviral drug targets ACE2 receptor to block coronaviruses from entering c

The ongoing evolution of SARS-CoV-2, particularly the rapid emergence of the omicron variant and its sublineages, has weakened the effectiveness of existing vaccines and antiviral drugs, underscoring the potential risk of future coronavirus pandemics. In response, a joint researc

Opposing protein pathways steer skin stem cells toward renewal or repair

Two proteins with opposing functions orchestrate the development and maintenance of healthy skin, Stanford Medicine researchers have found. Modulating their activity with topical drugs could reduce inflammation, aid wound healing and slow or halt the growth of skin cancer, the re
