Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has been extremely successful in treating relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies, with six CAR T-cell products now FDA approved. Unfortunately...
Successful cancer patient advocacy has many components. Patients and survivors are in the best position to tell their stories and advocate for better care and treatment. However, with few su...
In the world of advanced medical research, the convergence of synthetic biology and cellular immunotherapy has inaugurated a new era in field of cancer treatment. Simultaneously, life scienc...
Conventional imaging studies such as ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are increasingly detecting small renal masses, which are interpreted by radiologists as h...
The COVID-19 pandemic has underlined the need for an efficient collaboration between scientists, policy makers and the general public to tackle the crisis. Infectious disease experts play a...
Alphaviruses are enveloped RNA viruses that cause disease in humans ranging from acute febrile illness with rash and arthritis to lethal encephalitis. Like many other mosquito-borne viruses,...
The recent advancements in RNA therapeutics have brought to light the need for mRNA molecules that possess better stability and functionality in vivo....
HIV-1 replicates in the body as a large viral population. Along with its high error rate during viral DNA synthesis and its short replication time (24 hours), the virus maintains sequence di...
Critical in control of this pandemic is the ability to rapidly identify infectious individuals prior to their ability to infect others. With the introduction of better testing capacity and a...
Neoantigen vaccines are a type of personalized cancer vaccine. While clinical trials have shown promising results, it is important to note that neoantigen vaccines are still in the early sta...
Hematuria (blood in urine) may occur in up to 10% of the general population and results in costly evaluation to ensure it is of no consequence, i.e., no bladder cancer (BCa) is present since...
The recognition of mRNA molecules as a transformative class of therapeutic drugs has soared, particularly with the development of COVID 19 mRNA vaccines. The cancer treatment landscape is si...
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy shows significant potential in treating various human cancers. Unfortunately, researchers have faced difficulty in adapting this therapy to tar...
Throughout history, various approaches including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy have been employed in the fight against cancer. In the 2010s, the emergence of...
Cell-based therapies are advanced medical treatments for cancers and other diseases. Autologous and allogeneic cell therapies use immune cells from either a patient or from healthy donor sam...
The global effort to sequence millions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes has provided an unprecedented view of viral evolution. Characterizing how selection acts on SARS-CoV-2 is critical to developing...
In light of the numerous US FDA-approved humanized monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for cancer immunotherapy, it is surprising that the advancement of B-cell epitope vaccines designed to elicit...
In the field of tumor immunotherapy, cancer vaccines are designed to help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. More efforts are needed to identify neoantigens, develop combin...
