Stricter glucose control may affect quality of life in people living with diabetes2:51 New research to be presented at the Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Milan, Italy (Sept 28 – Oct 2) shows that, in people living with diabetes (type 1 or 2) using data from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices paired with daily quality-of-life ratings, days with more widely fluctuating glucose readings (while still within safe limits) are follo… Distinct EFEMP1 variants cause different forms of vision loss2:51 Scientists identified a new vision condition linked to a gene already connected to a different vision-loss disease. While the previously identified disease causes loss of central vision, the new condition affects peripheral and night vision. Rare cortical neurons actively promote the transition into sleep2:51 What makes the brain fall asleep? For nearly a century, scientists have looked to structures deep within the brain for the answer. FDA clears trial of dual-targeted CAR T-cell therapy for cancer2:20 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration this week granted permission for investigators at the University of Colorado Anschutz to conduct a clinical trial testing genetically engineered immune cells in adults with advanced colorectal cancer and pediatric patients with solid cancers who have exhausted standard treatment options. New dendritic constrictions reveal hidden complexity in neuronal signaling2:20 Neurons receive thousands of signals via tree-like extensions called dendrites. Until now, these dendrites were thought to be relatively smooth cables that conduct electrical signals to the cell body. Video game offers new insights into autistic perception2:20 People with autism often come at life from a different angle-seeing details others miss, focusing on patterns rather than faces, experiencing heightened or dimmed physical sensations. Targeted nanoparticles strengthen anti-cancer immune responses in tumors2:20 Adelaide University researchers have developed a new way of using mRNA technology to reprogram tumor-supporting immune cells and strengthen the body's anti-cancer immune response. Obesity suppresses natural protection against breast cancer growth2:19 A research team at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah (the U) has found that obesity prevents a biological process that kills cancerous cells, revealing a possible reason why obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer. Lupus-linked genetic variants may boost antiviral immunity1:48 Why do genetic variants that increase the risk of autoimmune disease remain so common in the population? Study links heritability and polygenicity across complex human traits16:45 Researchers at the University of Oslo have mapped which parts of our DNA carry the inherited differences behind complex traits and disorders. |
