A possible new treatment for impaired brain blood flow and related dementias is on the horizon.

Research by scientists at the University of Vermont Robert Larner, M.D. College of Medicine provides novel insights into the mechanisms that regulate brain blood flow and highlight a potential therapeutic strategy to correct vascular dysfunction. Their preclinical findings, published December 22 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest that adding a missing phospholipid back into a

Johns Hopkins Scientists Develop Targeted Therapy for T-Cell Lymphomas and Leukemias

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center’s Ludwig Center developed a new treatment that selectively targets TRBC2-positive T-cell cancers, expanding a precision approach they established in 2024 for TRBC1-positive tumors. The therapy, an antibody-drug conjugate, targets a protein expressed on the surface of T-cell cancers to deliver a cancer cell-killing drug. The work, published Dec. 22 in Nature Cancer, provides

Partial Match Parity: Increasing the Donor Pool for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Blood cancer patients who may have previously struggled to find a donor for transplantation now have more options. A new study shows that patients achieve good outcomes with an partial match drawn from the national public registry of donors when they are treated with the immune-suppressing drug cyclophosphamide. Survival rates at one year were on par
