Reframe Daily: 5-year MS drug results, tumor-injected virus for breast cancer, new gene therapy for melanoma, ultrasound memory boost, bee-sting allergy blocker

A 5-year study suggests the MS drug ublituximab can keep relapses low; a tumor-injected virus plus an immune drug helped some people have much less breast cancer at surgery; a gene-therapy approach plus an immune drug slowed melanoma in some patients after earlier treatments failed; focused ultrasound brain stimulation improved word-meaning memory tests; and a new antibody “blocker” cut the main honeybee-venom allergen in early lab and mouse work.
