Cell therapy showed promising results in treating autoimmune disorders in children and adolescents, according to a report from Nature News. The therapy, which appears to reset the immune system, eased severe symptoms in eight young patients.
The personalized cell therapy, known as CAR-T therapy, was highlighted in a Nature News article. This therapy is a type of treatment where a patient's own immune cells are modified to target specific cells in the body. The article did not specify the exact autoimmune disorders treated, but it did emphasize the positive impact on the children's symptoms.
Another article from Nature News discussed a different scientific breakthrough: parasitic wasps castrating moth larvae using a domesticated virus. The wasps inject the larvae with the virus, causing the larvae's testes cells to die.
A multi-source report from Nature News also touched on advancements in healthcare, including the promising cell therapy for autoimmune disorders. This report highlighted the broader context of scientific progress, mentioning AI's impact on music and video, and a new stroke recovery trial.
Meanwhile, a BBC Technology report, drawing from multiple news sources, detailed a nationwide NHS trial testing at-home technology to help stroke survivors regain hand and arm movement. The Triceps trial, the largest of its kind, involves brain stimulation and aims to recruit around 270 people. One participant, Amanda James-Hammett, reported a renewed sense of freedom. The trial addresses the significant impact of stroke as a leading cause of adult-onset disability in the UK.
While the Trump administration's scientific agenda has been widely criticized, a Vox article suggested that there might be some positive aspects to their approach. The article noted that the administration's science policy is being shaped by a diverse group of players.
