University of California San Diego

Americans' interest in a potentially harmful "magic mushroom" is soaring, according to a new study by researchers at the University of California San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science. The scientists suggest that the growing market for Amanita muscaria may be sparked in part by emerging clinical research supporting the safety and efficacy of psilocybin as a treatment for depression.

‘Cutting the cable’ between CD8+ T and T regulatory cells enhances checkpoint immunotherapy
University of California, Irvine

Checkpoint immunotherapy utilizing PD-1 blockade has become the standard of care for metastatic melanoma. While this treatment is effective in 40 percent of patients, the other 60 percent develop resistance, leading to tumor regrowth. A multidisciplinary research team led by the University of California, Irvine has identified a new strategy that could enhance the therapeutic effectiveness of this therapy by targeting the communication between immune cells within the tumor.

Super-Chilled Brain Cell Molecules Reveal How Epilepsy Drug Works
Johns Hopkins Medicine

By super cooling a molecule on the surface of brain cells down to about minus 180 degrees Celsius — nearly twice as cold as the coldest places in Antarctica — scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have determined how a widely-used epilepsy drug works to dampen the excitability of brain cells and help to control, although not cure, seizures.

American Cancer Society (ACS)

A new study led by American Cancer Society researchers shows less than one-in-five eligible individuals in the United States were up-to-date with recommended lung cancer screening. The screening uptake was much lower in persons without health insurance or usual source of care and in Southern states with the highest lung cancer burden.
