147 Hidden gene in leukemia virus could revolutionize HIV treatment

ScienceDaily
ScienceDaily · 08/02/2025 12:13 EDT

Scientists in Japan have discovered a genetic "silencer" within the HTLV-1 virus that helps it stay hidden in the body, evading the immune system for decades. This silencer element essentially turns the virus off, preventing it from triggering symptoms in most carriers. Incredibly, when this silencer was added to HIV, it made that virus less active too — hinting at a revolutionary new strategy for managing not just HTLV-1 but other deadly retroviruses as well. The discovery opens the door to turning the vir

UMass Amherst researchers have developed a groundbreaking nanoparticle-based cancer vaccine that prevented melanoma, pancreatic, and triple-negative breast cancers in mice—with up to 88% remaining tumor-free. The vaccine triggers a multi-pathway immune response, producing powerful T-cell activation and long-term immune memory that stops both tumor growth and metastasis. By combining cancer-specific antigens with a lipid nanoparticle “super adjuvant,” it overcomes key challenges in cancer immunotherapy. Read more
