The study, published in the October 30 online issue of Cell used a cutting-edge spatial genomics technology and preclinical animal models, with tumor specimens from ovarian cancer patients further validating the findings. They found that ovarian cancer cells produce a molecule called Interleukin-4 (IL-4), which is typically associated with asthma and the skin condition eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis. The study went on to find that the cancer cells used IL-4 to create a protective environment that kept away killer immune cells, making the tumors resistant to immunotherapy. A drug, dupilumab, which blocks IL-4's activity, has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is already used to treat asthma and eczema.

New International Prize for Biomedical Research to Christine E. Seidman, MD, for her pioneering work in cardiovascular genetics, which has transformed the understanding of congenital heart disease and diseases that cause thickening or weakening of the heart muscles. The prize honors medical innovators in the tradition of the late Maria I. New, MD, a world-renowned researcher in pediatric genetic disorders with a special focus on endocrinology throughout her six-decade career. Dr. Seidman will receive a prize of $20,000 and will present the Maria I. New Distinguished Lecture during a ceremony to be held at Icahn Mount Sinai in New York City on Friday, November 8.

Their findings, including preclinical studies in mice, introduce the Adaptive Multi-Epitope Targeting and Avidity-Enhanced (AMETA) Nanobody Platform, a new antibody approach for addressing how viruses like SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, evolve to evade vaccines and treatments. Details on the results were published October 23 in the journal Cell.
