Despite advances in immunotherapy, metastatic melanoma remains a considerable therapeutic challenge due to the complexity of the tumor microenvironment. Intratumoral type I interferon (IFN-I) has long been associated with improved clinical outcomes. However, several IFN-I subtypes can also paradoxically promote tumor growth in some contexts.
The pathogenesis of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) is poorly understood, limiting the development of immune-modulating therapies to treat disease and prevent progressive heart damage. Here, participants with definite ARF were compared to other severe acute paediatric conditions and matched healthy controls by profiling circulating immune molecules and cells to inform disease mechanisms and potential druggable pathways.
Estimate the global prevalence of neurodevelopmental impairment in children with Robin sequence (RS) at one year or more of age.
Meet the team behind the CIRCA DIEM study.
The CIRCA DIEM Trial Steering Committee provides independent oversight and strategic guidance for the study.
A sub-study is an ‘add-on’ study that helps to answer specific questions within a larger research project. If you decide to participate in the CIRCA DIEM study, you or your child may be invited to take part in one of the CIRCA DIEM sub-studies.
The CIRCA DIEM study aims to establish if cycling environmental light and noise levels for premature infants during their initial hospital stay leads to earlier development of circadian (daily) rhythms and better outcomes for the preterm babies, including improved brain development.
