An Australian study led by University of Melbourne scientists has identified a previously unknown role for the hepatokine, sparc-related modular calcium-binding protein 1 (SMOC1), in suppressing hepatic glucose production. The investigators reported their results in the Sept. 2, 2020, edition of Science Translational Medicine.
Researchers at City of Hope have used a combination of oncolytic virus and CD19-targeting CAR T cells to first force expression of CD19 on tumor cells and then hunt down those cells, eradicating tumors in immunocompetent mouse models and endowing them with immunity to later re-administration of tumor cells.
