Understanding How Pancreatic Cell Stress Leads to Type 2 Diabetes Insights from The Jackson Laboratory Pancreatic cells, like human cells, can only handle so much stress before they start to break down. When these cells are overstimulated by stressors like inflammation and high blood sugar, it can lead to type 2 diabetes. Researchers at The…
Understanding Neurological Diseases: A New Perspective Introduction Scientists and doctors have long been puzzled by the causes of complex neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis. These conditions are not caused by a single gene but are linked to numerous rare genetic variants and influenced by environmental factors and vascular risks. The Role of Blood…
Colorado State University Researchers Develop New Method to Study DNA Replication Researchers at Colorado State University have discovered a new way to study DNA replication using genetically modified yeast. This method offers a clearer understanding of cell cycle arrest, which is crucial for cancer treatment and genetic research. The study, led by Assistant Professor Grant…
Columbia Researchers Develop Bacterial Vaccine to Fight Cancer Scientists at Columbia University have created a new type of cancer vaccine using probiotic bacteria. This innovative approach trains the immune system to target and destroy cancer cells, offering hope for personalized cancer treatments. How It Works The vaccine uses genetically modified E. coli bacteria to deliver…
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….
Vanderbilt University Study: How Fever Affects Immune Cells and Cancer Risk Researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Centre have discovered that fever temperatures can boost immune cell activity but also cause stress and damage in certain T cells. This study, published in Science Immunology, explores how heat affects cells and its link to cancer development. Jeff…
Case Western Reserve University Explores Brain Proteins in Alzheimer’s Disease Researchers at Case Western Reserve University are investigating the role of specific brain proteins in the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, a condition that affects nearly 7 million Americans aged 65 and older. Alzheimer’s disease gradually impairs thinking and memory abilities and claims more lives than…
University of South Australia Study Links Maternal Obesity to Child Mental Health Issues New research from the University of South Australia reveals that children born to mothers who are obese before and during pregnancy are more likely to develop neuropsychiatric and behavioral disorders, such as ADHD and ASD. The study highlights a correlation between maternal…
Health Risks for Surrogates During Pregnancy New research from ICES and Queen’s University highlights potential health risks for gestational carriers, also known as surrogates, during pregnancy and the early postpartum period. The study found that surrogates may face higher risks of severe complications, such as hypertension and postpartum hemorrhage, compared to those who conceive naturally…
Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: A New Health Concern Experts from the University of Missouri School of Medicine and NextGen Precision Health have discovered a potential link between obstructive sleep apnea and the development of abdominal aortic aneurysms. An abdominal aortic aneurysm occurs when the aorta, the body’s main artery, expands and risks…
