Experimental cancer drugs effective – but with drawbacks

Posted: Published on January 27th, 2015

Two emerging technologies look promising, but top oncology researchers are concerned about dangers seen during clinical trials. In some trials two new approaches have eliminated all traces of blood cancers in 40% to 90% of patients who had no remaining options. (Eric Gaillard, Reuters) A new wave of experimental cancer drugs that directly recruit the immune systems powerful Tcells are proving to be immensely effective weapons against tumours, potentially transforming the $100-billion global market for drugs that fight the disease. But top oncology researchers are concerned about the two emerging technologies, citing dangers seen repeatedly in clinical trials including the potentially fatal buildup of toxic debris from killed tumour cells and damage to healthy tissue. Such side effects could block regulatory approval if they arent controlled, say researchers and drug company executives. In some trials, the two new approaches, known as CAR T cells and bispecific antibodies, have eliminated all traces of blood cancers in 40% to 90% of patients who had no remaining options. The drugs could reap annual sales in the tens of billions of dollars for their manufacturers, especially if they can also eliminate solid tumours in such terminally ill patients. CAR T cells, or chimeric antigen … Continue reading →

Simple test at birth could identify newborns at risk of eczema

Posted: Published on January 26th, 2015

A simple test measuring water evaporation from the skin of newborns could help identity those most at risk of developing eczema, according to a study. Early identification of those at risk opens up the possibility of actually preventing eczema through an act as simple as applying moisturiser during the first year of life although those involved in the research said further studies are needed to back this up. The Baseline Allergy study group, led by consultant paediatrician Jonathan Hourihane and research fellow Maeve Kelleher, both of University College Cork, and Alan Irvine of Trinity College Dublin measured water evaporation in the skin of 1,903 newborn babies in Cork University Hospital, and followed them up until 12 months of age. Prof Hourihane described the test as painless and non-invasive, with a small probe placed on the childs arm. Its like putting a hollow toothbrush on the arm and the head measures the level of water evaporation in an enclosed area, he said. This simple bedside test was carried out on the babies on day two following birth and at two months. It could predict the development of eczema at 12 months if water evaporation levels were high, the child was more … Continue reading →

Scientists identify new disease treatment path

Posted: Published on January 26th, 2015

Scientists at the University of Portsmouth have discovered a previously unknown phenomenon that means diseased muscle cells literally eat themselves to death. The researchers say this previously unrecognised mechanism could have far reaching effects for the understanding and treatment of diseases including cancers and inflammatory diseases, as well as Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The discovery was made by Dr Chris Young and a team of researchers led by Professor Darek Gorecki, as part of their on-going research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It was already known that tissue damage causes the release of certain chemicals to act as a danger signal to the body. This signal is received by the so called danger receptor, a protein with the scientific name of P2X7. However, the functions of this receptor have remained one of the great mysteries of cell science. Professor Goreckis group studied dystrophic muscle cells - cells that are deteriorating due to a disease known as Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The group is the first to find that the P2X7 receptors found in dystrophic cells can react to the danger signal sent by tissue already damaged by the disease. The same team has now discovered that in dystrophic muscles P2X7 instigates a switch … Continue reading →

Marijuana, for the Children

Posted: Published on January 26th, 2015

Glenn Maughan, who has epilepsy, receives marijuana treatment in Salt Lake City. (Rick Bowmer/AP) The parents of 9-year-old Sam Saretti have tried everything to help his epilepsy. Various drugs helped a little, but they added 40 pounds to his frame. Not even an implant that zapped his vagus nerve has stopped him from frequently dropping to the floor and convulsing with seizures. So this year, the Sarettis opted to try something a little unorthodox: pot. The Florida legislature last year passed a law allowing doctors to administer low-THC cannabis to patients with certain medical conditions. The Sarettis are still in limbo, however, because a judge recently invalidated a system for choosing marijuana growers, so no one in the state is currently authorized to cultivate the stuff, ABC News reported. There's some very early, and largely anecdotal, evidence that marijuana might be an effective treatment for some forms of epilepsy in children who haven't responded to traditional medications. It's partly to help bolster these types of clinical studies that the American Academy of Pediatrics today recommended that the government re-classify marijuana as a Schedule II drug, a category that includes other addictive, yet still therapeutic, substances like oxycodone, morphine, and codeine. … Continue reading →

Largest-ever autism genome study finds most siblings have different autism-risk genes

Posted: Published on January 26th, 2015

Study is cover of Nature Medicine; included in historic first upload to Autism Speaks MSSNG portal for open-access research TORONTO, ONT. (January 26, 2015) - The largest-ever autism genome study, funded by Autism Speaks, reveals that the disorder's genetic underpinnings are even more complex than previously thought: Most siblings who have autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have different autism-linked genes. Led by the director of the Autism Speaks MSSNG project (pronounced "missing"), the report made the cover of today's Nature Medicine. Simultaneous with publication, the study's data became part of the historic first upload of approximately 1,000 autism genomes to the Autism Speaks MSSNG portal in Google Cloud Platform. Autism Speaks is making the de-identified data openly available for global research in order to speed understanding of autism and the development of individualized treatments. "This is a historic day," says study leader Stephen Scherer, "as it marks the first time whole genome sequences for autism will be available for research on the MSSNG open-science database. This is an exemplar for a future when open-access genomics will lead to personalized treatments for many developmental and medical disorders." In addition to leading Autism Speaks' MSSNG program, Dr. Scherer directs the Centre for Applied … Continue reading →
