The targeted therapy bezuclastinib was safe and rapidly reduced markers of disease burden while also improving symptoms for patients with a rare blood disorder called nonadvanced system mastocytosis, according to results of the Phase II SUMMIT trial reported by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

The use of pharmacologic restraints occurs in 3 percent of hospitalizations for children admitted with a primary mental health diagnosis, according to a study published online Dec. 11 in Pediatrics.

A lack of trust between institutions in Australia is a bigger hurdle to the easy sharing of health and social welfare data than perceived state legislation obstacles—which researchers say largely don’t have a detrimental effect in Australia.

Two clinical trials led by researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center demonstrated early positive results from novel therapies targeting menin for the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute leukemias with specific genetic alterations.

The treatment landscape for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is evolving rapidly, as research discoveries at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and other academic cancer centers advance new, more effective therapies for this aggressive blood cancer.

Probiotics, defined as live microorganisms beneficial to health, have shown promise in areas like anti-inflammatory activity and brain function, etc. However, challenges remain due to variability in tolerance and colonization among species and strains. Recent advances in genome engineering, including CRISPR-Cas, have facilitated the creation of novel probiotic strains, offering potential treatments for metabolic disorders, inflammation, infections, and cancer.

The combination of a drug and a protein fragment prevents the growth of blood cancer cells, a new study in mice shows.
