Novel Cancer Therapy Activates Only Near Tumors, Reducing Side Effects
Researchers at UC San Francisco developed SNIPRs, sensors that activate engineered cells only in the tumor environment, offering targeted cancer treatment. When tested in mice, the SNIPR-equipped cells attacked only tumor cells.

Key Immune Protein Found to Limit Flu Virus Spread and Mutation
A study reveals that the immune protein IFITM3 limits flu infection severity and mutation rates, especially from zoonotic viruses. Mice without IFITM3 were more susceptible to flu infections, even from low viral doses.

Heart Shape May Predict Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
A groundbreaking multi-national study has revealed that the shape of the human heart, influenced by genetic factors, could serve as a valuable predictor for cardiovascular disease risk.

Antibody Sugars Determine How Sick We Become From a Flu Infection
Researchers at Stanford found that sialic acid-rich antibodies can lessen flu severity by binding to anti-inflammatory receptors in the lungs. The findings reveal a novel pathway to reduce inflammation without reducing viral replication.

How Low-Dose Ketamine Alleviates Depression Symptoms Within Hours
Scientists have pinpointed the binding site for low-dose ketamine on NMDA receptors, explaining its fast-acting effects on depression. Unlike high doses, which block synaptic currents, low doses selectively slow specific receptors.
