QIMR Berghofer-led research in collaboration with Australian oncology company Kazia Therapeutics has found that combining the drug candidate paxalisib with immunotherapy triggered a molecular epigenetic process that prevented the spread of cancer cells and overcame treatment resistance in preclinical models of triple negative breast cancer.
A new study from Karolinska Institutet involving over a million women links difficult childhood experiences to the risk of being diagnosed with endometriosis later in life. The study shows a link between childhood exposure to violence and a two-fold increase in the risk of developing this gynecological disease.
An intensive low-energy diet program, similar to the "NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission", significantly improved eating disorder symptoms in people with type 2 diabetes and excess weight who were at risk of developing eating disorders, according to a University of Oxford study published in The Lancet Psychiatry.
Cells taken from the lungs of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have a larger accumulation of soot-like carbon deposits compared to cells taken from people who smoke but do not have COPD, according to a study published in ERJ Open Research. Carbon can enter the lungs via cigarette smoke, diesel exhaust and polluted air.
There's an urgent need to quantify the role of fungal toxins (aflatoxins) found in agricultural crops, such as maize and peanuts (groundnuts), in the escalating rates of liver cancer in Ghana, as well as elsewhere in Africa and Asia, concludes a commentary published in BMJ Global Health.
When it comes to advanced cancer or Alzheimer's disease, over half of doctors would consider assisted dying for themselves, but preferences seem to vary according to their jurisdiction's legislation on euthanasia, reveal the results of an international survey, published online in the Journal of Medical Ethics.
Beards have long attracted suspicion, sometimes seen as stylish, sometimes as unsanitary. But how dirty are they, really?
A new study from Emory University addresses the growing global crisis of antibiotic-resistant infections. Many of these drug-resistant bacteria are spread through hospitals, and there are few antibiotics available for treatment.
A clinical study led by Lew C. Schon, MD, FACS, FAAOS, Director of Orthopedic Innovation at The Institute of Foot and Ankle Reconstruction at Mercy Medical Center, is drawing attention across the orthopedic and biomedical communities for its findings on total ankle replacement surgery.
Yale School of Medicine researchers have identified a biomarker panel that improves the assessment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression in children. Their findings are published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
Among the billions of neurons in the brain, fewer than 500 are responsible for suppressing binge drinking, according to new research by Gilles E. Martin, Ph.D., associate professor of neurobiology.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection is marked by excessive inflammation of several organs, leading to multi-organ failure. The recognition of the virus by our bodies triggers severe immune responses, causing a "cytokine storm," which can lead to acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
There are many factors that contribute to infant language development, not least of which is baby talk—the modified speech mothers and other adults often use when speaking to infants.
A new study in Neurodegenerative Diseases looks closely at how Parkinson's disease can affect something as everyday and essential as recognizing emotion in someone's voice. The research suggests that both the side of the body most affected by symptoms and the medications used to treat those symptoms may influence how patients interpret vocal emotion.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the Sonu Band, an artificial intelligence-enabled, wearable medical device for at-home treatment of moderate-to-severe nasal congestion in pediatric patients aged 12 and up.
Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are activated to heal the liver when it has a lesion (such as fibrosis or fatty liver); their function is to protect the liver by producing an extracellular matrix comprising collagen, among other things, and creating a scar in the damaged liver. But the Cancer and Translational Medicine research group of the University of the Basque Country (EHU) found that these stellate liver cells help the metastatic tumor develop.
Researchers have developed a novel method for simultaneously recording action potentials (APs)—temporary changes in electrical potential when cells become excited—and calcium transients—calcium fluctuations that drive muscle contraction—in single cardiomyocytes (heart muscle cells) derived from iPS cells.
