Fibronectin pathway may drive Marfan aortic damage, opening new drug targets

A new study published in Nature Communications identifies a molecular signaling pathway that contributes to the development of life-threatening aortic aneurysms and dissections in Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder affecting connective tissue. The findings provide new insight in

AI tool can identify biological profiles associated with thrombosis risk

Two people may be the same age and have similar family histories or risk factors, yet only one of them may develop thrombosis. To better understand why this occurs, researchers from the Complex Disease Genomics Unit at the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau) and the Biomedi

HIV vaccine triggers broadly neutralizing antibodies in 44% of primates

A new HIV vaccine developed by La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI), Scripps Research scientists and IAVI has the potential to protect humans from developing HIV infection and AIDS. This HIV vaccine is the first to generate a high number of "broadly neutralizing" virus-fightin

1 in 5 relatives of breast and ovarian cancer patients in Estonia carry dangerous cancer-l

In 2013, Angelina Jolie inspired a wave of testing for pathogenic variants of the gene BRCA1 by announcing that she carried a variant that left her at such high risk of breast cancer that she chose a preventive mastectomy. Many people with similar gene variants won't need risk-re

Gene clues reveal why some rare leukemia patients resist tagraxofusp therapy

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified why some patients with a rare type of leukemia, called blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), eventually develop resistance to tagraxofusp, the first Food and Drug Administration-appro

Researchers chart a genetic path to diagnosing pulmonary fibrosis and predicting outcomes

Researchers have validated a genetic scoring tool that may help physicians diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and identify which patients are at greatest risk for severe outcomes, including death or the need for a lung transplant. The findings come from a new international st
