SUMMARY: The Gateway Arch in downtown St. Louis recently highlighted a promising treatment for lymphoma, the most common cancer in dogs and humans. Professor Jeffrey Bryan from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine discussed how a dog named Sadie played a pivotal role in this research. Sadie received CAR T-cell therapy, which involves engineering human cells to attack canine cancer cells. This innovative approach is cost-effective and allows for quicker treatment. Sadie’s progress is tracked via PET scans, aiding the understanding of how these engineered cells move in the body, which could improve outcomes for both dogs and humans in cancer treatment.

SUMMARY: Residents provided feedback on a new roundabout opened by MoDOT near the Festus exit off Interstate 55, part of a $246 million project aimed at improving traffic and safety. While some drivers appreciate the enhanced visibility, others are confused by the new layout, leading to minor accidents and fender benders. Tow truck operator Chad Smith noted an uptick in incidents, including a driver who ended up in mud due to misjudgment. Many locals hope that the confusion will lessen over time, as they adjust to the change. Drivers are reminded to yield to those already in the roundabout for safety.

The latest roundabout section in the southeast section of the Interstate 55 and Route 67 interchange in Festus is now open.
