One woman, three autoimmune diseases: CAR-T therapy vanquishes ultra-rare disease trio

Fourteen months after treatment with engineered immune cells, the recipient has no symptoms and doesn’t need to take medication.

Why obesity drugs work better for some people: these genes hold clues

Study of almost 28,000 people also identifies genetic variants that raise the risk of gastrointestinal side effects from GLP-1 medications.

- Hidden human–virus interactions uncovered in DNA in blood and saliva
  
  The abundance of viral DNA was measured in DNA sequenced from blood and saliva samples in biobanks, revealing strong correlations with age, sex and dozens of genetic variants. Genetic analyses indicate that a high abundance of latent Epstein–Barr virus is a causal risk factor for a blood cancer called Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

- Genetics reveal why people respond differently to GLP-1 weight-loss drugs
  
  Genetic variants in GLP1R and GIPR, which encode targets of GLP-1-based medications, offer insights into why responses to these drugs vary and who might face adverse effects.
