Researchers from the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center demonstrated the potential of a novel treatment approach including immunotherapy to treat advanced human papillomavirus-negative head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma. More than half of study participants had 50% or more of their tumors shrink after receiving the immunotherapy drug nivolumab with chemotherapy, followed by response-adaptive chemo-radiation therapy.
UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers developed a “self-driving” microscope that solves two challenges that have long plagued microscopy: 1) imaging living cells or organisms at dramatically different scales, and 2) following a specific structure or area of interest over long periods of time.
