Multimodal blood based profiling reveals insights into mechanisms of immunotherapy resistance
Many cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) do not have durable treatment responses. Circulating biomarkers have the potential to identify patients with primary resistance or ea...

Thanks for highlighting our work, @atranscendedman.bsky.social!

Will share more soon on how this work came about (and how we had to challenge many conventions, such as 'there are no viral particles in blood'). Done in partnership with @gmboland.bsky.social. Extra thanks to @adarshc.bsky.social
Boston study tested 168 patient samples using a microfluidic chip that detects intact SARS-CoV-2 particles at just 3 copies/ml.

This tool differentiates active infection from RNA remnants, aiding diagnosis and monitoring.

Ultrasensitive detection of intact SARS-CoV-2 particles in complex biofluids using microfluidic affinity capture
Microfluidics can be used to isolate intact viral particles from a variety of biofluids potentially informing infectivity.

Measuring virus in biofluids is complicated by confounding biomolecules coisolated with viral nucleic acids. To address this, we developed an affinity-based microfluidic device for specific capture of...

"We have to make harder choices for our Black patients than for our white patients, because the pulse oximeters just are not as reliable in our Black patients" says @iwashyna.bsky.social

Fixing pulse oximeters requires federal might and possible legal action, researchers say
The devices remain unreliable in darker skinned people. Researchers say more guidance, enforcement and even legal action may be needed to spur improvement.
