Blocking IL1RAP may weaken pancreatic cancer defenses before surgery

Blocking IL1RAP, a receptor that sits at a key control point in inflammatory signaling, can disrupt the tumor-driven inflammatory network that helps pancreatic cancer resist treatment, according to new research. Led by researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of

Existing drugs could be repurposed for longevity by tapping network of aging-related genes

The quest to prolong life has gone on for as long as human existence itself, from the mythical Fountain of Youth to quick-fix fads like intermittent fasting, supplements and injections. But if you take a look in your medicine cabinet, you may unwittingly come across a drug that h

New tool helps uncover rare genetic mutations in common diseases, including Parkinson's

Studies of genetics conducted in yeast cells, human neurons, mice or other model systems often reveal networks of genes that could contribute to complex diseases, such as breast cancer, type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's disease. But those findings don't always translate to human bi

Study reveals how early-life cellular process helps shape lifelong immune health

Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) have uncovered a critical link between the immune system in early life and its function in adulthood. The study, published in Science Immunology, identifies a new role for specialized skin immune cells, called Langerhans cells, in

Emerging evidence links tire pollution to Alzheimer's risk

A chemical called 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q), which forms when shaved-off tire particles come into contact with ozone, might interfere with the inner workings of brain cells, leading to Alzheimer's disease. Zhang and Zhang's new paper in the journal Open Medicine, "6PPD‑Quinone Exposu

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

Gut bacteria boost immune system, help send vitamin A to T cells

Scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered that gut bacteria help regulate the development of the body's immune system by directing the movement of vitamin A through a previously unrecognized cellular network. The preclinical findings, published in Cell Host & M

The secret of human intelligence may lie in the power of a single brain cell

What makes the human brain capable of language, imagination, mathematics and invention? For many years, the prevailing view was that the secret of human intelligence lay mainly in scale: the sheer number of neurons in the human brain—close to 100 billion—and the vast network of c
