CAR-T Therapy Shows Promise in Treating Autoimmune Diseases in Children
A type of personalized cell therapy, known as CAR-T therapy, has shown promising results in treating autoimmune disorders in children and adolescents, potentially resetting the immune system and easing severe symptoms, according to Nature News. This therapy was successful in eight children and adolescents.
The therapy's success was highlighted in reports compiled from various news sources, including Nature News and MIT Technology Review, which also detailed advancements in other areas of healthcare and technology. These reports also covered a nationwide NHS trial using at-home technology for stroke recovery.
CAR-T cell therapy, as described by Nature News, involves modifying a patient's own immune cells to target and eliminate specific cells causing the autoimmune response. While the exact mechanisms are still being studied, the initial results suggest a significant breakthrough in treating these often debilitating conditions.
The advancements in CAR-T therapy come at a time when the scientific community is also navigating other complex issues. One report mentioned the influence of longevity enthusiasts on vaccine guidelines and the emergence of high-tech heists. Another report from Vox discussed the Trump administration's complex relationship with scientific progress, highlighting that the administration's science policy is shaped by a coalition of players.
