More CAR T cells don’t necessarily mean more effective treatment. Researchers, including #mdcBerlin's @simonhaas.bsky.social, identified a specific subgroup linked to successful low-dose therapy – and a potential biomarker for more personalized treatment. More: 🔗 www.mdc-berlin.de/news/press/m...

Optimizing stem cell infusion timing in the prevention of acute graft-versus-host disease
Adjusting the timing of stem cell infusion can reduce the incidence and severity of acute graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The rhythmic fluctuations in inflammation levels before infusion dictate subsequent T cell responses, which may be a key factor underlying outcomes based on the time of day that transplantation occurs.

Science Advances’ special issue on women’s health highlights a growing wave of research focusing on women’s unique biological and psychological experiences. Articles cover a range of studies from the interplay between menopause and Alzheimer’s risk to the menstrual cycle’s influence on the brain-heart connection. It also describes the opportunities pregnancy provides to research aspects of both physical and mental health. By prioritizing women’s unique physiological and psychological experiences, research can expand the frontiers of knowledge in ways that benefit everyone.
