Researchers identify a previously unknown mechanism that can drive cancer cachexia22:24 Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, the Heidelberg Faculty of Medicine at Heidelberg University, the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM), have identified a previously unknown mechanism that can drive cancer cachexia – a wasting process in the body that primarily affects muscle and fat tissue. Children's Colorado launches new program to expand treatment options for children with food allergies21:52 Children's Hospital Colorado's Allergy and Immunology Center today launched its Sublingual Immunotherapy Program at its Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, expanding treatment options for children with certain food allergies. NIH grant funds research on environmental triggers for sickle cell disease21:52 The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has received a $4.1 million grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, to study how everyday exposures affect the health of people with sickle cell disease. Study links protein interaction to senescent cell survival21:52 Senescent cells - cells that have stopped dividing but remain metabolically active - can accumulate with age and contribute to chronic inflammation and tissue dysfunction New brain atlas reveals insights into Huntington's, addiction, and other disorders21:52 A region of the brain called the striatum is critical for many cognitive and motor functions, including decision-making, control of movement, habit formation, and processing of reward. New nondestructive imaging technique tracks immune cell health21:20 When a patient is facing certain cancers or an immune condition, clinicians turn to their white blood cells for clues about the progression of both diseases and their treatments. Protein buildup mechanism shapes response to PROTAC drugs21:20 The way cancer-causing proteins accumulate in tumours may influence how effectively a promising new generation of medicines can remove them, a study suggests. New tool amplifies and visualizes tiny protein changes21:20 Imagine a brain teaser where the challenge is to spot the difference between two nearly identical sandcastles. Blocking a key protein protects against metabolic liver damage21:20 Obesity-related metabolic liver disease affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide, but only some fraction of those livers develop scarring, become inflamed, and eventually fail. University of Utah researchers have identified a protein, EFHD1, that appears to drive that transition by triggering an out-of-place antiviral immune response. DARPA funds project to build wireless yeast DNA printer20:48 The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has tasked scientists with developing a system that can receive instructions and synthesize a sequence of DNA or RNA without any chemical input. Think wireless DNA printer. |
