Effective treatment for rare sight-threatening infection: Clinical trial
A new drug candidate, based on pioneering UCL and Moorfields Eye Hospital research and currently under development by SIFI S.p.A., has been found to be highly effective in treating a rare sight-threatening eye infection in a new international clinical trial.
Genomic insights for prenatal screening: The advantages of low-pass genome sequencing
The importance of accurate prenatal diagnosis in preventing birth abnormalities cannot be overstated. Traditional karyotyping (a test to examine chromosomes in a sample of cells) dates back to the late 1960s and is well-established, but advancements in technology offer new options.
Financial insecurity common among frontline health care workers during COVID-19, research finds
Many frontline health care workers in the United States experienced food insecurity and other significant financial challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a recent study led by UNC Greensboro (UNCG) researcher Mathieu Despard and published in Compensation & Benefits Review.
Researchers discover resistance to liver cancer treatment
Liver cancer is the fourth deadliest cancer in Hawaiʻi, particularly affecting Native Hawaiian, Filipino and Japanese men. Patients can develop liver failure when tumors metastasize or spread to the healthy portions of the liver which results in a rapid decline of health and even death.
Key signaling protein identified as possible target for new therapies in hard-to-treat cancers
The unique signaling protein known as TRPM7 can stimulate and interact with an important cellular signaling hub called the AKT machinery, which is a well-known component of multiple cellular functions that drive growth and proliferation. This interaction causes a significant increase in the gene expression of COX-2, an important pro-inflammatory and pro-tumorigenic gene that is highly expressed in cancer cells and typically coincides with poor prognosis.
Study shows endometriosis and irritable bowel syndrome share genetic risk factors
University of Queensland researchers have shown that endometriosis and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) share genetic risk factors, explaining why patients with one condition may also have the other.
Estimating gastric cancer risk using DNA methylation and lifestyle data
Gastric cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortalities worldwide. Various environmental and lifestyle-related factors, like tobacco and alcohol consumption, are known to contribute to the risk of gastric cancer. Further, infection by Helicobacter pylori–a bacterium found in the stomach–is another leading risk factor for the onset of the disease.
Scientists show how many steps to take each day to reduce the risk of premature death
An international study led by the University of Granada has identified for the first time the optimal number of steps at which most people obtain the greatest benefits, and also shows that the pace at which you walk provides additional benefits
Researchers identify amino acid that may play a key role for predicting and treating long COVID
University of Alberta researchers have identified an amino acid that may play a key role in predicting poor clinical outcomes and the treatment of long COVID.
