The association between the increase in the incidence of Stevens Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis and SARS-CoV-2 infection and anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination
In a recent study, Australian authors presented the largest case series of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) that may be associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. In a six-month period, they had 14 cases of SJS/TEN, seven times the incidence before COVID infection and vaccination. They proposed theories that could explain […]
Laughter as Medicine: Humor Therapy Reduces Depression and Anxiety Symptoms
Summary: Humor therapy might alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. The comprehensive study comprised 29 diverse studies from nine countries, involving 2,964 participants with depression, anxiety, or both. While most participants reported a decrease in their symptoms, some felt the effect was insignificant. This lends support to the idea that humor therapy could become a viable […]

crispr cas9 gene editing used cut out mutation early study
System shows proof-of-concept effects in reducing production of toxic molecules A CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system can be used to remove the repeat expansion in the C9ORF72 gene, the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a new study reports. The system showed positive proof-of-concept effects in mouse models and in human cells, reducing the amount of faulty […]
Cancer Vaccine to Simultaneously Kill and Prevent Brain Cancer Developed
Summary: A new stem cell therapy approach eliminates established brain tumors and provides long-term immunity, training the immune system to prevent cancer from returning. Source: Brigham and Women’s Hospital Scientists are harnessing a new way to turn cancer cells into potent, anti-cancer agents. In the latest work from the lab of Khalid Shah, MS, Ph.D., at Brigham […]
