Drug-resistant TB responds rapidly to bedaquiline-based therapy

Patients who have drug-resistant tuberculosis have a similar microbiological response to bedaquiline-based second-line medications as patients with drug-sensitive TB taking first-line regimens, according to researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Genetic signature may predict lung cancer response to immunotherapy

A new study has identified a set of 140 genes that may help predict enhanced disease-free survival in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer treated with a combination of immunotherapy and low-dose radiation.

Babies use their immune system differently but efficiently

Scientists have long believed that a newborn’s immune system was an immature version of an adult’s, but new research shows that newborns’ T cells – white blood cells that protect from disease – outperform those of adults at fighting off numerous infections.
