Researchers at the University of Southampton engineered a new four-pronged antibody that supercharges the immune system's ability to destroy cancer cells. The breakthrough could help millions of patients whose cancers don't respond to current treatments.
Scientists have developed an AI-powered system that designs and tests antibody treatments in less than five weeks, a process that traditionally took months or years. This breakthrough could dramatically speed up how quickly new medicines reach patients who need them.
Scientists in Sweden created a fully human antibody that stopped aggressive prostate cancer from growing and spreading in early studies. The experimental treatment works through a unique mechanism that could make it safer than current options.
Scientists at UT Southwestern developed an antibody that shrank resistant lung tumors in lab tests, opening hope for patients who run out of options. The treatment worked even against cancers that stopped responding to existing drugs.
Scientists in Belgium created a mouse model that catches dangerous side effects of antibody drugs before they reach patients, potentially saving lives and billions in failed trials. The breakthrough could prevent tragedies like past blood clot deaths from drugs that seemed safe in early testing.
Scientists have discovered an antibody that successfully halted triple-negative breast cancer in laboratory models, offering hope for one of the most difficult cancers to treat. This breakthrough could lead to better treatment options for thousands of women facing this aggressive disease.
Scientists used artificial intelligence to create tiny antibody fragments that can function inside human cells, targeting proteins that cause Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other brain diseases. This breakthrough overcomes a major limitation in medicine development and could lead to new treatments for conditions affecting over one million people in the UK alone.
An island where 15% of residents have contracted Lyme disease is trying something unprecedented: specially bred mice that can't spread the bacteria to ticks. MIT researchers believe these tiny helpers could break the disease cycle that's plagued Nantucket for decades.
Researchers created antibodies that stopped Epstein-Barr virus from infecting mice with human immune systems. This breakthrough could protect transplant patients from life-threatening complications.
A twice-daily nasal spray could shield people from any type of flu virus, including pandemic strains that jump from animals to humans. Early human trials show the antibody spray works safely and reaches the exact spot where flu enters our bodies.
Americans exposed to Ebola in Central Africa will now have access to a promising antibody treatment that has shown remarkable success in animal studies. The therapy offers new hope for protecting healthcare workers and others at risk during the current outbreak.
Scientists have developed an HIV vaccine that achieved the strongest antibody response ever recorded in primates, and human trials are already underway. The breakthrough teaches the immune system to produce rare "broadly neutralizing" antibodies that can fight multiple HIV strains.
Scientists in Philadelphia created an HIV vaccine that triggered protective antibodies after just one shot in monkeys. The breakthrough could replace current experimental protocols requiring up to ten injections.
Researchers created an antibody that shields immune cells from a toxin produced by a highly drug-resistant bacterium that kills thousands yearly. This breakthrough could fight superbugs without creating more antibiotic resistance.
Researchers have discovered human antibodies that can prevent and treat measles, offering hope for millions who can't receive vaccines. The breakthrough treatment reduced viral loads 500-fold in early testing.
Scientists at La Jolla Institute and Scripps Research have created an HIV vaccine that triggered the strongest antibody response ever seen in primates. Human trials are now underway for a vaccine 14 years in the making.
Researchers found that vesper bats have two separate antibody systems instead of one, a trait never seen before in mammals. This discovery could unlock new ways to fight viral infections in humans.
A breakthrough antibody shot is protecting infants from severe RSV with stunning effectiveness, offering parents powerful new tools just as the respiratory virus peaks across the country. Recent studies show the protection may last even longer than expected.
A revolutionary cancer treatment just gave a Philadelphia man his third kidney transplant by removing the antibodies that kept rejecting donors. Penn Medicine's breakthrough trial could open transplants to thousands of patients currently deemed "impossible to match."
After 14 years of research, San Diego scientists developed an HIV vaccine that successfully triggered virus-fighting antibodies in nearly half of the primates tested. The breakthrough could lead to the first effective HIV vaccine for humans within years.
