Researchers at City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, have published a new study explaining how they took a protein once thought to be too challenging for targeted therapy, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and developed a targeted chemotherapy that appears to annihilate all solid tumors in preclinical research.
AI-based wastewater sampling predicts COVID hospital admissions
Researchers have developed an accurate prediction tool for estimating COVID-19 hospital admissions, using an AI–based system with wastewater sampling.
Researcher identifies key mechanism in Parkinson’s disease
Yulan Xiong, assistant professor of neuroscience at UConn Health, and her team have discovered that a regulator compound holds the potential to treat Parkinson’s disease.
While resolving a key asthma challenge, researchers create new method to detect proteins in body fluids
Based on decades of work to uncover the underlying mechanisms of asthma and other respiratory conditions, researchers at McMaster University and St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton have produced a simple, rapid test that can identify the presence of a key driver of severe asthma.
New method helps to determine which medications breastfeeding mothers can take
It’s the start of World Breastfeeding Week, and University of Waterloo Pharmacy researchers have developed a novel metric for an underserved research area to aid health care providers in advising on maternal medication use for breastfeeding mothers or nursing persons.
