Ageing blood – kind of like ageing wine. The longer you age it, the better, says one study

AI SummaryA recent study in France suggests that longer storage of red blood cells may improve the success of kidney transplants. Patients who received older blood had a 6% higher transplant survival rate after 5 years compared to those who received fresher blood. The study proposes that older blood may have immunomodulatory properties and be… Continue reading Ageing blood – kind of like ageing wine. The longer you age it, the better, says one study

Autoimmune diseases: Protein discovered as potential new target for therapies

AI SummaryA new immunoregulatory protein called ‘Rinl’ has been discovered, which could be linked to the development of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. This finding could lead to the development of new immunomodulatory therapies.Autoimmune diseases are complex illnesses, the causes of which are diverse and have not yet been fully explained. A research team has… Continue reading Autoimmune diseases: Protein discovered as potential new target for therapies

Vaccine Signals a New Treatment Option for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

AI SummaryA recent study found that a cancer vaccine called OSE2101 showed better overall survival rates compared to chemotherapy for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer who had become resistant to immunotherapy. The vaccine targets specific proteins found on cancer cells and instructs immune cells to kill them. This provides new hope for patients with advanced… Continue reading Vaccine Signals a New Treatment Option for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Multivalent virus-like epitope display amplifies BCR signaling independent of avidity

AI SummaryDisplaying multivalent epitopes on viral-sized particles triggers a unique mode of B cell receptor signaling that enhances B cell activation, survival, and proliferation without the need for T cell co-stimulation.We show that multivalent epitope display on the surface of viral-sized particles functions as a ‘stand-alone’ danger signal by evading inhibitory pathways to trigger a… Continue reading Multivalent virus-like epitope display amplifies BCR signaling independent of avidity
