In a global breakthrough published in Nature Genetics, researchers have successfully mapped the cells and genes that regulate bone formation and loss at an unprecedented scale and discovered the critical role that blood vessel cells play in bone health.

A team of researchers from VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center, the VCU School of Dentistry and the University of Pennsylvania recently published a study in Nature Communications examining why some oral inflammatory diseases progress much more rapidly than others.

Resistance to the main drug in front-line malaria treatments is becoming more widespread across East Africa, according to new research by Imperial College London. The study, published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, maps the rise in artemisinin resistance in the region and sug

The Blood and Tissue Bank is studying how to therapeutically manufacture and use a type of nanoparticles released by the body's cells to communicate with one another, in one of the most promising fields of research for the therapies of the future. New medicines and advanced thera

Uterine fibroids and endometriosis are two of the most common gynecologic diseases, affecting 15% to 80% of women of childbearing age. Existing treatments—hormonal drugs and selective estrogen receptor modulators—have side effects and cannot reliably prevent recurrence. This is w

How are disease-relevant molecules distributed within tissue? What changes occur even before they become visible under the microscope? Questions such as these are crucial for early diagnosis and targeted treatment in many diseases. Researchers at the Leibniz-Institut für Analytis

Warmer temperatures bring out ticks that spread diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. But another class of emerging tick-borne pathogens—nairoviruses—is on the rise. Some nairoviruses cause high fevers and reduce organ function in people exposed to certa

Harry Styles, Zoë Kravitz, Sarah Pidgeon … celebrities love stretching out on Britain’s lawns and meadows. But with the tick-borne Lyme disease on the rise, is it safe for any of us?Do we need to worry about ticks in the UK? How serious are the risks associated with the diseases

Two dangerous viruses are back in the spotlight, reminding health officials how quickly infectious diseases can become serious threats. Hantavirus, often linked to rodents, can cause severe heart and lung complications and has no specific treatment or vaccine, while certain strai

After nearly four decades of research, Mayo Clinic scientists have revealed the molecular structure of protein kinase C beta (PKCβ), a key protein linked to cancer and neurological diseases. The findings, published in Nature Communications, provide the first detailed view of how

How the proteins in our bodies bind together to form protein complexes plays a critical role in numerous cell functions—staving off diseases, for instance, or transporting ions across cell membranes. A better understanding of how they bind could lead to new medicines and possibly

Researchers at the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT/UCC) in Dresden, including Oliver Bruns and Dr. Bernardo Arús, are participating in an international study that has, for the first time, developed novel proteins for near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared imaging (SW
