Understanding Pancreatic Cell Stress and Type 2 Diabetes Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) have discovered that pancreatic cells, like human cells, can only handle so much stress before breaking down. This stress, caused by factors like inflammation and high blood sugar, can lead to type 2 diabetes. The study found that DNA variations linked…
New Discovery at Montefiore Einstein Cancer Centre: How Immune Cells Keep Cancer Dormant Researchers at the Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Centre have discovered a natural immune response in mice that prevents cancer cells from forming new tumors. This study, led by Dr. Julio Aguirre-Ghiso, was published in the journal Cell. The research focuses on disseminated…
Breakthrough Study on Gamma-Delta T Cells in Cancer A recent study published in Cell Press highlights the importance of gamma-delta T cells in 33 different types of cancer. This research, led by experts at Moffitt Cancer Center, reveals the potential of these cells as clinical biomarkers and therapeutic targets in cancer treatment. Understanding Gamma-Delta T…
New Discovery for Treating Atrial Fibrillation Introduction Researchers from the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix and the University of California Davis Health have found a new way to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib), a common heart rhythm problem. What is Atrial Fibrillation? AFib is a condition that causes irregular heartbeats and can lead…
University of Cincinnati Researchers Discover New Approach to Improve Lung Cancer Treatment A team of researchers from the University of Cincinnati, led by Dr. Debanjan Bhattacharya, has found a promising new way to enhance radiation therapy for lung cancer that spreads to the brain. This research was published in the journal Cancers. Understanding Lung Cancer…
New Discovery in DNA Damage Response by Dr. Kaspar Burger’s Team at Julius-Maximilians-Universitat Wurzburg In Wurzburg, Germany, scientists from Julius-Maximilians-Universitat Wurzburg have made a significant discovery in understanding how cells repair DNA damage. Led by Dr. Kaspar Burger, the team explored the role of a specific RNA transcript, NEAT1, in the DNA damage response (DDR)….
UCLA Researchers Develop New Imaging Technology for Kidney Cancer Detection Researchers at UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed a new non-invasive imaging technology to detect clear-cell renal cell carcinoma, the most common type of kidney cancer. This breakthrough, published in The Lancet Oncology, could reduce unnecessary procedures and ensure timely treatment for patients….
Scientists at ETH Zurich Discover How Bacteria and Fungi Can Live Together Researchers at ETH Zurich, led by Professor Julia Vorholt, have studied how bacteria and fungi can form a symbiotic relationship. They injected bacteria into the fungus Rhizopus microsporus and observed the interactions. The study found that while some bacteria were encapsulated and not…
Kumamoto University Discovers Key Enzyme’s Role in Brain Function Researchers at Kumamoto University have made an important discovery about the enzyme TRMT10A and its role in maintaining brain function. The study revealed that a deficiency in TRMT10A reduces specific transfer RNA (tRNA) levels in the brain, which in turn affects protein synthesis and the structure…
Scientists Study Brain Proteins to Understand Alzheimer’s Disease Researchers at Case Western Reserve University are investigating if certain brain proteins are involved in the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s is a condition that affects thinking and memory, impacting nearly 7 million Americans aged 65 and older. It causes more deaths than breast and prostate cancer…
