Personalized DNA Vaccine Doubles Glioblastoma Survival Rates

A "first of its kind" personalized DNA vaccine is doubling survival rates for patients with aggressive glioblastoma. By targeting 40 unique tumor proteins, twice as many as previous therapies, the GNOS-PV01 vaccine transforms "cold" tumors into "hot" targets for the immune system. With one patient remaining cancer-free five years late.

Alzheimer’s Disrupts Brain’s Internal Clock, Unraveling Gene Rhythms

Alzheimer’s disease not only damages memory but also distorts the brain’s internal clock, disrupting the daily rhythms of hundreds of genes tied to brain health. Researchers found that in mice with amyloid buildup, normal circadian gene activity in microglia and astrocytes—the brain’s immune and support cells—became erratic.
