Epigenetic mapping provides deeper insight into leukemia

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and Kyoto University in Japan have identified new subgroups of the blood cancer acute myeloid leukemia. The study, published in the journal Nature, shows that changes in the regulation of genes within cells can help explain variation

New experimental approach may help overcome drug resistance in deadly brain cancer

Scientists have identified a promising new strategy to tackle one of the biggest obstacles in treating glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer: resistance to chemotherapy. The study shows that an experimental compound called BA-101 can restore the effective

Glycoprotein G unlocks genital herpes spread to nerves, revealing vaccine target

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have identified a key protein that allows the virus that causes genital herpes to get into the nervous system. The discovery, made in experiments on mice, could pave the way for future vaccines against the disease. The study is publishe

Researchers discover new form of hereditary prostate cancer

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have identified a new form of hereditary prostate cancer that, while rare, can cause aggressive disease at a young age. The discovery paves the way for genetic testing programs that could help identify at-risk families and support

Hidden metastases reveal clues to colorectal cancer recurrence

Researchers identified a six-gene signature in microscopic colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases that may help predict recurrence after treatment. The findings suggest these tiny, often undetectable tumor deposits could serve as a tissue-based marker of residual cancer cells,

Demystifying the molecular mechanisms of general anesthesia

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Birkbeck, University of London, have identified a site where a commonly used anesthetic binds to sodium ion channels, revealing a molecular mechanism that may explain how these drugs dampen communication between neurons. Ion channels are

New insights into neuron–microglia interactions during brain aging

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have identified small nuclear fragments known as micronuclei while studying neurons in aged mice. They demonstrated that microglia—the brain's resident immune cells—take up these micronuclei, leading to changes in microglial morphology and

Researchers reveal immune mechanisms that drive development of rare allergic stomach disea

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed one of the first experimental models that faithfully reproduces eosinophilic gastritis (EoG), a rare but increasingly recognized allergic disease of the stomach. Using this model, they identified the immune pathways responsible fo

Study finds obesity 'fuels' leukemia, but a combo using popular weight-loss drugs may stop

Obesity can act as fuel for leukemia, according to a study led by Indiana University School of Medicine scientists. To help patients facing aggressive blood cancers overcome this metabolic risk, researchers identified a potential treatment strategy that combines popular weight-lo

Researchers uncover new therapeutic vulnerability in one of the most aggressive childhood

An international team led by the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC) in Barcelona, the Centre for Genomics and Oncological Research (GENyO) and the University of Granada (UGR) has identified a new biological vulnerability in one of the most aggressive forms of child
