Brain tumours effectively treated by injecting patients with viruses to activate the immune system (cancer)

Brain tumours effectively treated by injecting patients with viruses to activate the immune system (cancer)

Viral stimulation of the human immune response could be employed to treat cancers.

The presence of the virus – which seeks out cancer cells – counteracts this, stimulating the body’s natural defences into action, and is now the subject of a wider clinical trial.

By introducing viruses into brain tumours the scientists were able to essentially “switch on” the immune system’s response to the brain cancer in the nine patients involved in the trial.

There was evidence the virus had stimulated an immune response that attacked tumours, even those found deep within the brain.

The presence of the virus itself, on the other hand, caused patients to report nothing more serious than flu-like side effects.

The major breakthrough in this trial was the realisation that the viruses can pass through the “blood-brain barrier”.

The results of this work were published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Professor Susan Short, an oncologist at the University of Leeds, who led the trial said: “For a long time, there have not been many new developments that we could offer patients but the research that is happening at the University of Leeds and elsewhere is beginning to offer a new approach.”

AI does materials science 200 times faster!

Imagine chemistry and materials science conducted hundreds of times faster with AI (and robots)! That era has started! 

(e.g. metallic glass)

This allowed the team to discover three new blends of ingredients that form metallic glass, and to do it 200 times faster than it could be done before.

the group’s success rate for finding metallic glass had increased from one out of 300 or 400 samples tested to one out of two or three samples tested. The metallic glass samples they identified represented three different combinations of ingredients, two of which had never been used to make metallic glass before.

Expect AI and robotics to make massive impacts in all areas of science!

Artificial intelligence accelerates discovery of metallic glass
