Last-Itch Effort: Fighting the Bacteria That Exacerbate Eczema with Bacteria Researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine use bacteriotherapy to improve symptoms of atopic dermatitis February 22, 2021 | Jeanna Vazquez
News release
In a new study out of University of California San Diego School of Medicine, researchers have identified a universal strain of bacteria derived from healthy human skin that can treat the most common type of eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis.
In the paper published Feb. 22, 2021, in
Nature Medicine, the research team investigated the safety and mechanisms of this certain bacteria in a first-in-human, Phase I, double-blinded clinical trial looking to treat people living with eczema. Of the 54 participants, two-thirds reported improvements in their symptoms, including fewer complaints of itchiness and inflammation.

Specific cell-to-cell communication associated with progression of gastrointestinal stromal tumors
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are a subytpe of cancers known as sarcomas. GIST is the most common type of sarcoma with approximately 5,000 to 6,000 new patient cases annually in the United States. GIST cannot be cured by drugs alone, and targeted therapies are only modestly effective, with a high rate of drug resistance. In a recent study, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine identified new therapeutic targets that could lead to new treatment options for patients.
The study, published in the February 18, 2021 online edition of
Oncogene, found that specific cell-to-cell communication influences GIST biology and is strongly associated with cancer progression and metastasis.
In a study published Thursday, researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine identified new therapeutic targets that could lead to treatment options for.
