Shutting down backup genes leads to cancer remission in mice
- Details
- Category: Research
The way that tumor cells enable their uncontrolled growth is also a weakness that can be harnessed to treat cancer, researchers at the University of Michigan and Indiana University have shown.
Their machine-learning algorithm can identify backup genes that only tumor cells are using so that drugs can target cancer precisely.
Bird's enzyme points toward novel therapies

- Category: Research
Thank the rare crested ibis for a clue that could someday help our bodies make better drugs.
The species of bird is the only one known to naturally produce an enzyme able to generate a noncanonical amino acid; that is, one not among the 20 necessary to encode most proteins.
WHO strongly advises against antibody treatments for COVID-19 patients
- Details
- Category: Research
The antibody drugs sotrovimab and casirivimab-imdevimab are not recommended for patients with COVID-19, says a WHO Guideline Development Group of international experts in The BMJ.
These drugs work by binding to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, neutralising the virus's ability to infect cells.
Mucosal antibodies in the airways protect against omicron infection
- Details
- Category: Research
High levels of mucosal antibodies in the airways reduce the risk of being infected by omicron, but many do not receive detectable antibodies in the airways despite three doses of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. These are the findings of a study published today in The New England Journal of Medicine, led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Danderyd Hospital in Sweden.
Drug turns cancer gene into "eat me" flag for immune system
- Details
- Category: Research
Tumor cells are notoriously good at evading the human immune system; they put up physical walls, wear disguises and handcuff the immune system with molecular tricks. Now, UC San Francisco researchers have developed a drug that overcomes some of these barriers, marking cancer cells for destruction by the immune system.
Malaria booster vaccine shows durable high efficacy in African children, meeting WHO-specified 75% efficacy goal
- Details
- Category: Research
Researchers from the University of Oxford and their partners have today reported new findings from their Phase 2b trial following the administration of a booster dose of the candidate malaria vaccine, R21/Matrix-M™ - which previously demonstrated high-level efficacy of 77% over the following 12 months in young west African children in 2021.
