Nine Patients Received a Personalized Kidney Cancer Vaccine. None Had a Recurrence. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How do you teach the immune system to recognize a cancer cell? Researchers are taking clues from the tumor itself, selecting unusual protein fragments and putting them into a vaccine. The aim is to help the body recognize that particular patient's cancer. In a small kidney cancer trial, this approach produced encouraging results. Nine people received an experimental vaccine tailored to their own tumors. None experienced a recurrence during a median follow-up of roughly three years and four month
Ozempic-Like Drugs Could Have a Surprising Effect on Alcohol Cravings (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Imagine ordering a drink you would normally enjoy, then finding you barely want to touch it. Some people taking Ozempic-like medications have described just such a change. Could these drugs help people with alcohol use disorder? A review published in Biological Psychiatry brings together the evidence. It suggests a promising possibility, but also an important distinction: drinking less does not necessarily mean craving alcohol less. Ozempic's active ingredient, semaglutide, belongs to a class of
Scientists Triggered Alzheimer's-Like Changes in Monkeys. A Year Later, They Showed No Obvious Memory Loss. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can monkeys get Alzheimer's, or is the disease unique to humans? As African green monkeys age, their brains can develop some changes that resemble those seen in Alzheimer's. That doesn't mean they develop the full disease seen in people. But it raises a question: Could these monkeys help researchers see what happens before memory begins to fail? In a new study published in Communications Biology, green monkeys kept performing well on a memory test after being administered small clusters of a pro
Squeezing a Leg Bone Helped Animals Recover From Brain Injury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At first glance, searching for a way to heal an injured brain in the leg makes little sense. Yet a new experiment suggests there may be a surprising line of communication between the brain and the shinbone, with messages traveling through the blood. Scientists in China repeatedly applied controlled pressure to the shinbones of mice and pigs. More treated animals survived after brain injury, and they recovered movement and memory abilities more successfully. The same procedure also helped mice re
Loss of Y Chromosome in Men Could Be an Early Clue to Cancer, Study Finds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cancer may come with a trace beyond the tissue that looks cancerous. In men, that trace may be a missing Y chromosome in cells that still look perfectly normal, new research shows. That was the surprise in a study of tissue from men with and without cancer. Cells immediately beside tumors showed more Y chromosome loss than normal tissue from men without cancer, while the tumors showed even more. "What surprised us most was that Y chromosome loss was not confined to the cancer itself," Dan Theodo
