New tech addresses manufacturing bottlenecks in a lifesaving blood cancer treatment
University of South Australia

Relapsed B-cell ALL is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children and young adults. UniSA research has shown the potential of new microfluidic technology, to improve the CAR T-cell manufacturing process by efficiently removing contaminating cancerous cells and other large white blood cells - potentially leading to greater access and lower costs of treatment.

Sensor involved in regulating metabolic health identified
UT Southwestern Medical Center

A protein receptor called PAQR4 found within fat cells appears to act as a sensor for ceramides, waxy lipids whose overabundance has been linked to a variety of metabolic disorders and cancers, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers suggests. Their findings, published in Nature Metabolism, could eventually lead to drugs that reduce cellular ceramide levels, much like statins reduce cholesterol levels.

UV Radiation Damage Leads to Ribosome Roadblocks, Causing Early Skin Cell Death
Johns Hopkins Medicine

In a recent study, researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine suggest the cell’s messenger RNA (mRNA) — the major translator and regulator of genetic material — along with a critical protein called ZAK, spur the cell’s initial response to UV radiation damage and play a critical role in whether the cell lives or dies.

New mRNA technology turns cells into long-lasting drug factories
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering

A team of researchers has established a ribonucleic acid (RNA)-based method that drives cells in the body to produce therapeutic proteins and secrete them into the bloodstream. The approach could potentially extend the lifespan of drugs in the body, reducing the burden on patients who require frequent drug administrations.

Drugs that kill "zombie" cells may benefit some older women, but not all, Mayo Clinic study finds
Mayo Clinic

Drugs that selectively kill senescent cells may benefit otherwise healthy older women but are not a "one-size-fits-all" remedy, Mayo Clinic researchers have found. Specifically, these drugs may only benefit people with a high number of senescent cells, according to findings publishing July 2 in Nature Medicine.

Opportunistic Colonizers: Selectively Targeting Tumor Cells with Bacteria
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Live bacteria can be applied in cancer therapy given their ability to deplete nutrients and induce cell death in tumors. However, the interaction between bacteria and tumor cells is risky and can exacerbate the inflammatory response and the expression of anti-apoptotic genes.
