A family of nanoparticles—tiny, biodegradable molecules commonly used to deliver drugs to patients—shows promise in treating Alzheimer’s disease without additional medication, according to new research from a University of Alberta neuroscientist.

CAR T cell therapy, which involves genetically modifying a patient’s own immune cells to fight cancer, is a technique that has shown great promise, especially against blood cancers. But currently, only about 4% of patients with advanced or metastatic cancer in the United States are candidates for CAR T therapy, and closer to 3% will actually benefit, according to one recent analysis.

WashU Medicine researchers led by Jacco Boon, a professor in the John T. Milliken Department of Medicine, report that an experimental bird flu vaccine provides strong immune protection in mice, including in animals previously vaccinated against seasonal flu. Because pre-existing immunity from prior seasonal influenza infection or vaccination could diminish the efficacy of H5N1 vaccines, showing that the new vaccine succeeds alongside existing immunity is a crucial milestone.
