Three-drug cocktail shows potential to boost CAR-T cancer therapy

MyBlueDots14 hours ago01 mins

Preclinical research findings from the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a cocktail of three different drugs that can be used to generate more robust immune system CAR-Ts (chimeric antigen receptor-T cells) to fight cancer. This finding may have a significant impact on improving the production of CAR-T cells for clinical use.

MyBlueDots15 hours ago01 mins

Studies conducted in mice have shown that the COVID-19 vaccine being developed by researchers at the University of São Paulo’s Medical School (FM-USP) in Brazil is safe and efficacious. The vaccine triggered a satisfactory immune response against the pathogen in the mice and protected them from infection. An article describing the results is published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Unexpected twist: Pharma mergers may reduce drug prices

MyBlueDots15 hours ago01 mins

A new study from the University of Iowa finds that many drug prices actually drop after pharmaceutical company mergers, challenging the belief that mergers are the primary cause of rising drug prices in the United States. The study finds the price drops are due to cost savings achieved by merging firms that have overlapping products that treat the same medical condition.

Discovery of Semliki Forest virus’s brain entry route opens new avenues for tumor treatment

MyBlueDots15 hours ago01 mins

In a recent study, researchers from Uppsala University have shown that the Semliki Forest virus enters the central nervous system by first entering the cerebrospinal fluid and then binding to a specific cell type before penetrating deeper into the brain. This finding could potentially be used to develop the Semliki Forest virus as an agent for treating brain cancer. The study has been published in Nature Communications.
