Chinese CAR-T Cell Therapy Phase 1 Study Shows Promise for HIV Functional Cure

Chinese CAR-T Cell Therapy Phase 1 Study Shows Promise for HIV Functional Cure

In a pioneering clinical trial, a novel multifunctional CAR-T cell treatment has demonstrated remarkable efficacy and safety in HIV-1 infected patients, potentially paving the way for a functional cure for HIV/AIDS. Published in Cell Discovery, the phase I study introduced M10 CAR-T cells, engineered to incorporate endogenous broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) and the follicle-homing receptor CXCR5.
WHO Reports on Rising HIV Drug Resistance Amid Integrase Inhibitor Use

WHO Reports on Rising HIV Drug Resistance Amid Integrase Inhibitor Use

The World Health Organization (WHO) has released a concise report highlighting a concerning trend in HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) in the integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTI) era. The report notes the high efficacy of dolutegravir (DTG)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) in suppressing viral loads, exceeding 90%. However, it warns that HIVDR to DTG is emerging at higher rates than clinical trials predicted, with resistance levels ranging from 3.9% to 19.6% among surveyed populations.

Construction for Prostate Cancer Patients with a History of Malignancy by Professor Kan Gong ‘s Team | AUA 2024

With advancements in cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment, the survival period of cancer patients has significantly increased. Long-term management of cancer patients should not only focus on the primary tumor but also monitor for the occurrence of secondary primary tumors (SPTs) and multiple primary tumors through regular check-ups and screenings. Secondary primary tumors are defined as new independent malignant tumors that arise in different locations following treatment for an initial malignancy, and they are not recurrences or metastases of the first primary tumor. Various factors may contribute to the development of SPTs, such as age, obesity, genetic susceptibility, the stage at diagnosis of the first primary tumor, and environmental exposure. Previous studies have shown that the incidence of SPTs in cancer patients ranges from 8-16%, varying by tumor site . SPTs pose a significant threat to cancer patients' survival, accounting for 55% of cancer-related deaths .
