Researchers optimized a method to isolate nuclei from flash‑frozen mouse colon tissue for single‑nuclei RNA sequencing using  Miltennyi’s lysis buffer and Octo-dissociator with chillers. The protocol improved nuclei RNA quality and counting prior to fixing nuclei for the 10x. FLEX- Multiplex protocol, supporting high‑quality, cost-effective molecular profiling when other single‑cell methods aren’t possible. @HutchInnovation bit.ly/4ueaNZi

Autoantibodies cause autoimmune disease, shape infection outcomes, and alter cancer immunotherapy. But what role might they play in neuropsychiatric disease? In our new preprint, Katlyn Nemani and @JillianRJaycox take on this question in schizophrenia. 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

T cells do the heavy lifting when it comes to the anti-tumor action of checkpoint immunotherapy. But do antibodies play a role too? That’s the question @yile_dai looked to answer in his thesis work, out today in @Nature! 🧵below nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4198… In 4,258 patients, donor age affected outcomes differently depending on donor type. @fredhutch researchers & collaborators found while younger family donors showed rising risk once donors were ~38, matched unrelated donors stayed low‑risk until ~50 with better overall survival, allowing for more personalized donor choices.

CAR‑T saves lives but can disrupt humoral immunity. New data show CD19/20 CAR‑T recipients often lack protective antibodies to ~1/3 of vaccine‑preventable pathogens for up to a year, with even larger gaps after BCMA CAR‑T. Re‑vaccination helps—especially in patients with higher B‑cell counts. @fredhutch Influence of B cell-lineage targeted CAR-T cell therapy on humoral immunity and vaccine-induced antibody response | Nature Communications

Tyrosine kinase inhibitor drugs can be highly effective against chronic myeloid leukemia, but access to these life-saving drugs and necessary clinical support is limited in low- and middle-income countries. The authors report that these barriers can be overcome to enable long-lasting remissions in resource-limited settings. @fredhutch @JerryRadich Treatment-free Remission in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Low- and Middle-Income Countries | New England Journal of Medicine

Drinkable gene therapy foam for the treatment of constrictive esophageal carcinoma.  @Fredhutch Matthias Stephan Lab discovery: new mRNA-based foam coats the esophagus, delivering apoptosis-inducing therapy directly to tumors. In vitro, it showed 110× higher tumor regression than suspension and boosted radiotherapy effects—offering hope for home-based, less disruptive treatment.

Immune T cells can be genetically engineered to express “T cell receptors (TCRs)” that target specific molecules on cancer cells, but these cell-based therapies have shown limited clinical efficacy for patients with solid tumors, hindered by insufficient trafficking, persistence and anti-tumor function of the engineered T cells. @fredhutch investigators have now designed a chimeric TCR-containing engineering vehicle that improves tumor control in multiple laboratory models, supporting its broad utility.
