Common plant fiber gel doubled rate of tumor eradication
Many people don't realize that the trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi residing within the gastrointestinal tract-collectively called the gut microbiome- are connected to overall health, and specifically to cancer. Manipulating the gut microbiome to produce "beneficial" commensal microbes, which protect the host from pathogens and can boost immune responses, among other things, could potentially help patients respond better to cancer drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors, a type of immunotherapy.

How do immune cells get activated?
By studying the structure of cellular receptors and of the molecules that activate them, scientists at the Universities of Geneva and Basel are deciphering the details of immune cell activation. Chemokine receptors, located at the surface of many immune cells, play an important role in their function.

High dose opioid prescription declines in Queensland - 21-year study
The number of people prescribed opioids in Queensland increased more than 11-fold in two decades, but most prescriptions were in a low-dose range, according to University of Queensland-led research. Dr Adeleke Adewumi, a UQ PhD graduate and Senior Pharmacist at Maryborough Hospital, said dosages of opioids within the state were most frequently on the lower end of the scale.

COVID-19 vaccines pre-prepared in syringes for their administration can be safely transported
Research finds that COVID-19 vaccines pre-prepared in syringes for their administration can be safely transported This may be of great relevance in mass vaccination strategies, especially in rural and less developed areas, as the doses can be prepared in an official healthcare centre and then transported to remote vaccination sites or areas with an underdeveloped healthcare infrastructure.
