Study: Patients with chronic kidney disease have high risk of acute kidney injury

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurred in nearly 20 percent of patients who underwent surgery with implantation of antibiotic-loaded "spacers" and intravenous (IV) antibiotics for the treatment of deep infections after total knee arthroplasty, reports a study in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery.

Scientists use specially designed gold nanoparticles to 'seek out' bone stem cells

Researchers at the University of Southampton have developed a new way of using nanomaterials to identify and enrich skeletal stem cells - a discovery which could eventually lead to new treatments for major bone fractures and the repair of lost or damaged bone.

Antibody for uterine sensitization associated gene-1 can stimulate tooth growth in mice

The tooth fairy is a welcome guest for any child who has lost a tooth. Not only will the fairy leave a small gift under the pillow, but the child can be assured of a new tooth in a few months. The same cannot be said of adults who have lost their teeth.

GBP5 protein may play a key role in suppressing inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis

New research led by scientists at Washington State University has found that a protein known as GBP5 appears to play a key role in suppressing inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, a potentially debilitating disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own joint tissues.

First cell-based gene therapy approved by the FDA for treating multiple myeloma

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Abecma (idecabtagene vicleucel), a cell-based gene therapy to treat adult patients with multiple myeloma who have not responded to, or whose disease has returned after, at least four prior lines (different types) of therapy.

Stem cell depletion could be an important factor behind miscarriage

Depletion of a certain type of stem cell in the womb lining during pregnancy could be a significant factor behind miscarriage, according to a study released today in STEM CELLS.

New blood test makes it easier to follow the progression of multiple myeloma

A new method makes it much easier to follow the progression of multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer.

DNMT3a plays a key role in regulating HSC responses to infections

Humans are born with tens of thousands of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that collectively ensure lifelong production of blood and immune cells that protect us from infections.

Study examines the health effects of diet and resistance training in middle-aged adults

A 10-week muscle-building and dietary program involving 50 middle-aged adults found no evidence that eating a high-protein diet increased strength or muscle mass more than consuming a moderate amount of protein while training.

Researchers move one step closer to preventing limb deformities from childhood fractures

Orthopedic researchers are one step closer to preventing life-long arm and leg deformities from childhood fractures that do not heal properly.

New study shows large within- and between-assay variation for ß-CTX measurement

A new study by the IFCC‑IOF Committee for Bone Metabolism shows large within- and between-assay variation for ß-CTX measurement; until harmonization is achieved, proposes measuring ß-CTX by the same assay on EDTA plasma, especially for research.

Medical practitioners use octacalcium phosphate to improve bone repair

Bone repair wasn't generally successful until the late 1800s. Until then, there were few options to repair major bone damage. Most materials don't have the functionality of bone and don't support blood vessels growing through them.

Sargramostim drug can also improve memory in people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease

A new study suggests that Sargramostim, a medication often used to boost white blood cells after cancer treatments, is also effective in treating and improving memory in people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.

Study reveals arsenal used by protozoans to make leishmaniasis more severe

Researchers have succeeded in revealing the arsenal used by protozoans of the genus Leishmania in human cells to make leishmaniasis more severe, especially in cases of the mucocutaneous variety of the disease, which can cause deformations in patients.

Stem cell therapy could help restore debilitating age-related muscle loss

As the name implies, induced pluripotent stem cells can become any type of cell in our body, and scientists have evidence that when they prompt them to become muscle progenitor cells they can help restore the sometimes debilitating muscle loss that happens with age.

Biological “feed-forward” loop contributes to progression of osteoarthritis

An unfortunate biological "feed-forward" loop drives cartilage cells in an arthritic joint to actually contribute to progression of the disease, say researchers at Duke University and Washington University in Saint Louis.

Computational analysis helps identify hematological malignancies that elude the human eye

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a disease of the stem cells in the bone marrow, which disturbs the maturing and differentiation of blood cells. Annually, some 200 Finns are diagnosed with MDS, which can develop into acute leukemia. Globally, the incidence of MDS is 4 cases per 100,000 person years.

Study finds two drugs capable of slowing bone marrow cancer progression

Primary myelofibrosis (PMF), a relatively rare but painful type of bone marrow cancer, disrupts the body's normal production of blood cells by causing extensive scarring in the bone marrow.

'Hunger Hormone' may play key role in impulsive choices and behaviors

Higher levels of the stomach-derived hormone ghrelin, which stimulates appetite, predict a greater preference for smaller immediate monetary rewards over larger delayed financial rewards, a new study finds. The study results will be presented at ENDO 2021, the Endocrine Society's annual meeting.
