Probiotic metabolite found to suppress melanoma tumor growth in mice17:23 Immune checkpoint inhibitors like anti-PD-1 have transformed melanoma treatment, yet more than half of patients fail to respond or eventually develop resistance. New anti-lipid antibodies could improve diagnosis of Lyme disease17:23 Lyme disease can be easiest to treat in its earliest stages, but current tests often miss infections during that critical window and cannot tell whether bacteria are still present or were cleared years ago. New genetic clues may help prevent unexpected strokes in youth16:48 UVA Health stroke researchers have identified a distinct and temporary pattern of gene behavior during cervical artery dissections, a leading cause of stroke in young people. Cryo-EM microscopy uncovers structure of bacteria behind gum disease16:48 Periodontal (gum) disease is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, caused by the bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis). In Japan alone, approximately 80% of adults over 30 years old are affected or considered at risk. Rare genetic condition offers new insights into human aging process16:48 Scientists have discovered a rare genetic condition which causes people to age at a much faster rate, offering fresh insights into the aging process. First-in-human trial tests safer T-cell therapy for pediatric brain cancers16:48 Researchers report encouraging early results from a first-in-human clinical trial led by Children's National using a new T-cell immunotherapy for children and young adults with some of the deadliest brain tumors, including diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) and relapsed central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Duke engineers grow retinal blood vessel cells from pluripotent stem cells16:48 Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to grow specialized blood vessel cells critical to retinal health for the first time. Japanese study links inherited genetic variants to multiple lung cancers16:48 Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and is generally thought to arise from mutations acquired over a lifetime through environmental exposures. Researchers identify key predictors for mother-infant bonding difficulties16:48 Mother-to-infant bonding difficulties (MIBD) are commonly associated with postnatal depression. MIBD has been linked to developmental delays and child abuse. UCD professor wins ERC grant for pediatric growth disorder research16:48 Professor Niamh Nowlan of University College Dublin (UCD) has been awarded a European Research Council (ERC) Proof of Concept Grant for research with the potential to enable new treatments for a broad range of paediatric growth disorders. |
