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

Hospital AI tool predicts low blood sugar in patients up to 24 hours in advance

Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators developed an AI-based model that can identify hospitalized patients at risk of low blood sugar up to 24 hours before the condition occurs. The long short-term memory (LSTM) model, described in npj Digital Medicine, could help

Higher vitamin A levels linked to better lung function in children and adults with asthma

Higher levels of circulating vitamin A are linked to better lung function in children and adults with asthma, while vitamin D shows similar benefits in adults, including slower biological aging, finds the first study of its kind, published online in the respiratory journal Thorax

DNA damage can trigger neurons to self-destruct

Over the past decade, researchers at WashU Medicine have established that a molecule called SARM1 is a central trigger in the loss of axons, the vital wiring of the nervous system. Axon loss is characteristic of many neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral scleros

Investigators report promising results from Phase II trial of targeted therapy for rare bi

Results of the ongoing eNRGy trial, a single-arm, multicenter, global Phase II clinical trial evaluating zenocutuzumab in solid tumors positive for Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) gene fusions, reported manageable side effects and clinically meaningful efficacy—including a near doubling of p

Brain scans reveal impaired waste clearance in ME/CFS, offering clue to brain fog

The brain's waste clearance system is impaired in people living with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), which can lead to various symptoms, including brain fog, Griffith University researchers have discovered.

Forcing cancer cells to die can alert the immune system to enhance anti-tumor attack

Unlike accidental cell death, some cells can actively decide to die through a controlled process. This is called programmed cell death and can occur in different forms, including apoptosis and necroptosis. Cells use this process when they are damaged, stressed, becoming cancerous

Equine 'colleagues' can help protect therapists from burnout

"Including a big, warm creature in the therapy space creates a completely different dynamic than what can be achieved in an office," said Charlotte Fiskum, associate professor of psychology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). She has led a study at NTNU
