NewsHaem signalling pathway identified as key driver of T cell exhaustion
University of Lausanne researchers have identified a molecular mechanism explaining how cancer-fighting T cells become exhausted in tumours, offering a potential route to improve CAR T therapies through proteasome modulation during cell manufacturing.

NewsToxoplasma cell cycle mapped for next-generation therapies
University of South Florida researchers have adapted fluorescent imaging to visualise the cell cycle of Toxoplasma gondii in real time, revealing an unusual branching growth pattern that enables rapid multiplication. The breakthrough could identify new therapeutic targets for toxoplasmosis, which affects one-third of the global population and has limited treatment options once chronic.

NewsBiomarker discovery may improve schizophrenia treatment
Northwestern University scientists have identified a circulating brain protein biomarker that is significantly reduced in schizophrenia patients and developed a synthetic therapeutic that corrected abnormal brain activity in preclinical models, offering hope for treating the disorder’s debilitating cognitive symptoms.
