Johns Hopkins scientists discovered a way to convert “immune-cold” tumors into “immune-hot” ones by activating key immune pathways. In studies using mouse models of breast, pancreatic, and muscle cancers,

Individuals with post-COVID syndrome had higher immune cell counts after receiving exercise-based rehabilitation vs. usual care for 8 weeks, according to data presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress.

Sometimes, the best way to achieve a big outcome is to start small. That principle is at the center of new work from a University of Virginia researcher who specializes in nanotechnology and controlled delivery of medical treatments.

Australian researchers have discovered that an anti-inflammatory drug already being used to treat rheumatoid arthritis could dramatically improve recovery from heart attacks. The work is published in the journal Cardiovascular Research.

Supplements that promote gut health are among the most popular options my patients use, with most individuals taking probiotics, prebiotics or a combination of the two. Though many lifestyle choices impact gut health, diet remains a primary driver of a well-functioning microbiome.

Scientists have converted the blood type of a donor kidney and transplanted the organ into a person. The procedure — the first of its kind — could improve access to donor organs, specialists say, because the blood type of the donor would no longer matter.
