For decades, cancer immunotherapy has focused primarily on CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes as the main executors of tumor cell killing. However, growing clinical and single-cell sequencing evidence shows that CD4+ T cells are far more than immune “helpers.” Within tumors, CD4+ T cell subsets exhibit remarkable heterogeneity, ranging from cytotoxic CD4+ CTLs to immunosuppressive regulatory … Read more
New longitudinal evidence suggests that moments of awe, even during pandemic isolation, may help buffer loneliness by strengthening feelings of connection beyond the self. Study: Experiencing awe in daily life is linked to lower loneliness.

Among the most promising tools of cancer therapy, engineered immune cells known as chimeric antigen-receptor (CAR) T cells have already transformed the treatment of blood cancers. Yet, despite their promise, CAR-T cells do have their limitations. For one thing, they’ve so far largely failed against solid tumors, which is to say, most types of cancer. … Read more

Gut microbiota may be the key factor explaining why certain individuals do not respond well to the pneumococcal vaccine-a bacterium that can cause various diseases, such as pneumonia. This conclusion is drawn from a recent study led by the B Cell Biology Research Group at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, published in Science Advances. … Read more
Could a natural fungus compound fight fatigue and sharpen your mind? New research suggests cordycepin might hold the key to boosting endurance and protecting brain function when pushed to the limit. Cordyceps parasitic fungus growing on an ant, also known as zombie-ant fungus, 3D illustration. Study: Cordycepin combined with antioxidant effects improves fatigue caused by excessive … Read more
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center scientists have discovered a novel subset of cancer-fighting immune cells that reside outside of their normal neighborhood – known as the tertiary lymphoid structure – where they become frustratingly dysfunctional when in close contact with tumors. Described today in the journal Science Translational Medicine, … Read more
Researchers have developed a new method to grow T cells that have greater longevity and can more efficiently destroy cancer cells in mouse models of melanoma compared to those grown in traditional growth media Study: Redirecting glucose flux during in vitro expansion generates epigenetically and metabolically superior T cells for cancer immunotherapy.
