Ultrasounds can provide a wealth of information on organ function and disease; now scientists have engineered a stick-on wearable ultrasound device for continuous monitoring.
The largest and most genetically diverse genome-wide association study thus far for coronary artery disease, a leading cause of death worldwide, identifies many new susceptibility loci and characterizes the genetic architecture in Black and Hispanic populations for the first time.
Greater emphasis on reproducibility and reusability will advance computational pathology quickly and sustainably, ultimately optimizing clinical workflows and benefiting patient health.
Incorporating genetic factors into risk models improves the prediction of severe obesity for survivors of childhood cancer, which could promote early interventions and better long-term care.
Pigs offer a potentially plentiful supply of organs for humans, but widespread xenotransplantation will require a collaborative and iterative approach to research, as well as involvement of transplant patients and the public.
Findings from the TUXEDO-1 trial demonstrate efficacy of the antibody–drug conjugate trastuzumab deruxtecan for treatment of brain metastases in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.
The SIGNAL Phase 2 study of pepinemab immunotherapy in early Huntington’s disease (HD) did not meet its coprimary clinical efficacy endpoints, but had a favorable safety profile and showed a significant treatment-related reduction in caudate brain atrophy and reversal of the characteristic decline in brain metabolic activity that is typical of HD progression.
An engineered protein engages the efferocytosis pathway to induce amyloid-β engulfment, resulting in behavioral rescue in Alzheimer’s disease mouse models without the increased inflammation or vascular pathology associated with conventional antibody therapy
Preliminary results from a phase 1/2 trial with 18-month follow-up show that transplantation of CRISPR–Cas9 BCL11A-edited autologous hematopoietic cells in two children with β-thalassemia was safe and achieved transfusion independence.
In a phase 2 trial, monitoring tumor resistance mutations in blood using liquid biopsies allowed rationally guided subsequent therapy with anti-EGFR antibodies in patients with colorectal cancer.
To overcome limitations of previous genome-wide association studies of coronary artery disease, this study incorporates a cohort of individuals containing large fractions of Black and Hispanic individuals to provide a wider view of the genetic landscape of this disease.
A large study in India showed that gender-based police interventions — including training, outreach and dedicated spaces staffed by female officers — led to increased reporting of violence against women.
