By Tarun Sai LomteMay 15 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM A recent study published in the Scientific Reports Journal examined whether active commuting to school in childhood was associated with physical activity in adulthood.
Active commuting can be beneficial at individual, environmental, and social levels and has been shown to have preventative effects on cardiovascular risk factors. Evidence suggests that active commuting can augment psychological well-being. The researchers assessed the commuting mode of participants in 1980 when they were aged nine, 12, 15, or 18. Adulthood physical activity was evaluated in 2001, 2007, 2011, and 2018.
Findings The sample comprised 2,436 participants. Commuting modes in childhood were not predictive of adulthood commuting. Active childhood commuting favorably contributed to adulthood LTPA in 2001, 2007, and 2018. Furthermore, the researchers re-evaluated significant sample associations restricted to participants who provided data on all covariates in each study year. Accordingly, they observed that childhood commuting predicted LTPA in 2001 and 2007.

CAR-NKT cell therapy: a new promising paradigm of cancer immunotherapy - Cancer Cell InternationalToday, cancer treatment is one of the fundamental problems facing clinicians and researchers worldwide. Efforts to find an excellent way to treat this illness continue, and new therapeutic strategies are developed quickly. Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) is a practical approach that has been emerged to improve clinical outcomes in cancer patients. In the ACT, one of the best ways to arm the immune cells against tumors is by employing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) via genetic engineering. CAR equips cells to target specific antigens on tumor cells and selectively eradicate them. Researchers have achieved promising preclinical and clinical outcomes with different cells by using CARs. One of the potent immune cells that seems to be a good candidate for CAR-immune cell therapy is the Natural Killer-T (NKT) cell. NKT cells have multiple features that make them potent cells against tumors and would be a powerful replacement for T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. NKT cells are cytotoxic immune cells with various capabilities and no notable side effects on normal cells. The current study aimed to comprehensively provide the latest advances in CAR-NKT cell therapy for cancers.
