It is the first treatment in the last 30 years that represents a relative improvement of 38% in the overall survival of patients compared to standard treatment. The results of Phase III study ZUMA-7 show that this new treatment with Yescarta (axicabtagén ciloleucel, known as axicel) reduces the risk of death by 27.4%.
A study that reveals that microtubules, apart from their known structural role in cells, they also exert an active influence on neuronal communication.

It is an aptamer, a small nucleic acid molecule that specifically recognizes a receptor highly expressed in tumor cells of breast cancer, sarcoma, melanoma, and colon cancer, among others. The new molecule could be linked to cancer treatments and used as a platform for localized drug delivery that reduces side effects.
The excellent results of the HERMeS clinical trial, a pioneer in the application of telemedicine and mHealth in Heart Failure, have been presented at the Heart Failure 2023 Congress, which took place between May 20 and 23 in Prague (Republic of Czech).
