Science Translational Medicine is the leading weekly online journal publishing translational research at the intersection of science, engineering and medicine.
A landmark study shows that latent #HIV can convert CD4 T cells to CD8 T cells and identifies the latter as a previously overlooked component of the viral reservoir—a surprising finding with critical implications for HIV cure efforts. @sysu_1924scim.ag/4uklbhB
It takes a Village. Could not have done this without the resources and intellectual camaraderie at @IcahnMountSinai#Microbiology, the clever perseverance of Axel Guzman-Solis, and the generous collaborators from across the country and in the U.K.
1/ What if we could stop a deadly virus not by blocking one doorway, but by locking two at once?
New in @ScienceTM: our team developed a two-antibody strategy against Nipah and Hendra viruses, two bat-borne paramyxoviruses with pandemic potential.

A whole genome sequencing assay named HPV-DeepSeek sniffs out signs of residual disease after surgery in patients with #HPV head and neck cancer, and detects recurrence earlier than digital PCR and standard clinical criteria. @FadenLab@BIDharvardOHNSscim.ag/3S52VLF
Big day for our lab! New paper using our HPV-DeepSeek assay, an ultrasensitive HPV WGS-based liquid biopsy for MRD detection in HPV head & neck cancer, is out today in @ScienceTM 🧵

A longitudinal analysis of patients with #ColorectalCancer ties lower development of premalignant polyps to robust adaptive immune surveillance and elevated noncoding RNA—decrypting how the immune microenvironment shapes early carcinogenesis. @Insermscim.ag/3Q9obPM
This week's issue of #ScienceTranslationalMedicine is out!
A whole-genome test catches residual disease earlier in patients with HPV-linked head and neck cancer, research reveals how immunity influences the premalignant origins of colon cancer, and more. scim.ag/4dZi0ab

New work links idiopathic #PulmonaryFibrosis in patients to TLR5 deficiency, which disrupts the lung #microbiome, and shows TLR5 agonists can modulate microbial diversity to protect against the onset of fibrosis in mice. @IRPatNIHscim.ag/4vA7fkA
By encapsulating an engineered CRISPR-Cas12 therapeutic in a #PhageTherapy delivery system, a team designs a precision antimicrobial therapy for Shiga toxin-producing #Ecoli that cleaves the Stx gene and combats infection in animals. @dbikard@EligoBioscim.ag/4u3Ecob
A new #CryoEM analysis decrypts the structure and neutralizing capabilities of monoclonal antibodies against #enterovirus D68 elicited by VLP vaccination in macaques, underscoring the clinical promise of these immunizations. @NIAIDNewsscim.ag/4oglb0I

The new issue of #ScienceTranslationalMedicine has arrived!
A landmark study reveals the HIV T cell reservoir is broader and more plastic than previously thought, restoring the lung microbiome may help to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and more. scim.ag/4dL37Ih
A rapid manufacturing pipeline for BCMA-targeting #CARTcells drastically shortens “vein-to-vein” times, and produces cells that demonstrate encouraging safety results in a phase one trial of patients with relapsed #MultipleMyeloma. @DanaFarberscim.ag/4nVUU7E
New #GeneEditing systems named PRINCE and Little Prince employ small molecules to control both nuclease and guide RNAs—achieving precise control over the duration of gene editing and reducing off-target edits in mouse models. @Shenzhensuat_szscim.ag/4nXF2Bp
A new #AI-based risk model for #BreastCancer that harnesses digital mammograms shows promise for primary prevention when applied to identify 10-year risk in cohorts in the U.S. and Sweden, and outperforms clinical models and the Mirai tool. @ki_meb_biostatscim.ag/4f2omqa

A creative CRISPR-phage therapy targets toxic E. coli infections untreatable with antibiotics in mice, a rapid production platform for CAR T cells shows promise in patients with multiple myeloma, and more this week in #ScienceTranslationalMedicine. scim.ag/4dRg3et
A four-dimensional biosensor can track disruptions in #autophagy flux within beta cells in real time and show these precede the onset of autoimmune #diabetes, offering a useful tool for beta cell and type 1 diabetes research. @LinnemannLab@IUDeptPedsscim.ag/4nGBvHs
A new generation of therapies that targets the brain-immune system axis stands to reshape the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as #AlzheimersDisease, scientists argue in a new Viewpoint. @WeizmannSciencescim.ag/4dUSLWh
