by King’s College London Overall Survival for Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma Kaplan-Meier plot comparing overall survival for patients with recurrent glioblastoma treated with autologous tumor lysate-loaded dendritic cell vaccination (DCVax-L; ie, patients who were randomized to the placebo group and who crossed over to begin DCVax-L following recurrence) and 640 contemporaneous, matched external controls derived...
by Cell Press Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A mind-controlled wheelchair can help a paralyzed person gain new mobility by translating users’ thoughts into mechanical commands. On November 18 in the journal iScience, researchers demonstrate that tetraplegic users can operate mind-controlled wheelchairs in a natural, cluttered environment after training for an extended period. “We show that mutual...

by Edith Cowan University Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Breast cancer is the most common form of the disease among women; in Australia, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer by the age of 85. Radiotherapy has emerged as an important component of breast cancer treatment but can lead to cancer-related fatigue and negatively impact...
by Wiley Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Over the past two decades, numerous complex cancer therapies called antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) have been tested in clinical trials and approved for use in patients. Investigators recently performed a comprehensive analysis of multiple scientific databases to outline the potential toxicities associated with these medications. Their findings are published...
by Radiological Society of North America Group analysis on susceptibility-weighted imaging exhibiting higher susceptibility-weighted imaging values in the COVID group when compared to healthy controls. Three significant clusters were found primarily in the white matter regions of the pre-frontal cortex and in the brainstem. The clusters (a) and (b) are observed bilaterally in the cerebral...

PBMCs were obtained on day 29 after the first dose from participants in each cohort (adult n = 11 per dose, elderly n = 12 per dose). The numbers above the bars show the GMT in the group. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals. a, SARS-Cov-2...
