Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Empowering Ovarian Cancer Immunotherapy Aggressive ovarian cancers are deadly in part because they block a patient’s immune system from recognizing the tumor. This is why immunotherapy frequently fails. A new study suggests scientists may have found a way to remove that shield. UC-San Diego oncologists discover that many ovarian tumors produce high levels of a protein called FAK, focal adhesion kinase, which helps cancer cells hide from immune killer cells. When the researchers block FAK protein production and add chemotherapy in animal studies, an important synergy develops: • More immune T cells and B cells converge on the tumor. • Tumor growth slows. • Survival improves. Even more interesting, blocking FAK reprograms immune macrophages so they begin sending signals that recruit other immune cells to attack the tumor. The bottom line: if randomized clinical studies confirm that combining effective chemotherapy with FAK inhibitors that energize immunotherapy creates a more powerful strategy against advanced ovarian cancer, we could see more women successfully fighting this deadly cancer….someday soon. #OvarianCancer #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #MedicalBreakthrough #FutureMedicine"

Your Morning Cup of Joe Could Help Fight Cancer. A gene-editing system, switched on by the caffeine in coffee, chocolate, or cola soda, could one day activate powerful therapies against cancer or diabetes. #CoffeeScience #CRISPR #CancerResearch #FutureMedicine #HealthInnovation

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Your Morning Cup of Joe Could Help Fight Cancer A gene-editing system, switched on by the caffeine in coffee, chocolate, or cola soda, could one day activate powerful therapies against cancer or diabetes. Cancer and translational medicine biologists at Texas A&M engineered cells so that about 20 mg of caffeine, roughly that in a small sip of coffee, triggers a molecular “on switch.” When caffeine is present, specially designed molecules the investigators have termed “caffebodies” join together and activate CRISPR gene editing inside cells. Instead of drugs constantly affecting your body’s organs and tissues, doctors could turn gene therapies on only when needed. For example, immune T-cells could be programmed to attack tumors when activated by consuming caffeine. To fine tune the control, the researchers developed a stop switch using a medication called rapamycin. This agent turns off the gene editing a promises to provide a precise control over treatment. This caffeine-controlled advanced gene therapy system promises to have applications beyond cancer treatment. Sips of coffee or doses of rapamycin could be employed by diabetics to turn on and off insulin production. Though clinical application is far off in the future, this work is an exciting proof-of-concept. References On My Website. #CoffeeScience #CRISPR #CancerResearch #FutureMedicine #HealthInnovation"
