CAR-T cell approach aims to desensitize kidney transplant patients
Mayo Clinic researchers report BAFF-R CAR-T cells derived from sensitized patients can target B cells causing transplant antibodies. In a proof-of-concept study in Kidney International, BAFF-R CAR-T therapy reduced sensitizing B cells in 10 patients, suggesting a desensitization strategy to expand donor access and reduce wait times. The work, led by Dr. Tambi Jarmi and Dr. Hong Qin, is experimental and moving toward early clinical trials in Florida.

Free medication abortion on campus remains hard to find at CSU and UC campuses
LAist findings show many CSU clinics lack information on medication abortion despite a 2019 law mandating access at public universities. Deanna Gomez, a CSU student, spent weeks and hundreds of dollars traveling off campus after learning she could have obtained the pill on campus. The law, funded with 10.3 million dollars, gave each campus 200000 but did not require advertising or informing students about the service.
