Successful implementation strategy to scale-up PEWS for children with cancer

Pediatric Early Warning Systems (PEWS) - bedside tools used by nurses to assess the health of hospitalized children and identify urgent medical issues - are not widely used in resource-limited hospitals, in part due to challenges with implementation.

Research brings us closer to optimizing treatments for children with retinoblastoma

Retinoblastoma is a cancer of the eye that occurs in infants and toddlers and can lead to loss of vision, loss of one or both eyes, and even death.

Systemic inflammation triggered by SARS-CoV-2 found to cause human testicular injury

In a new study, a team of researchers demonstrated that testicular injury in humans is not due to direct SARS-CoV-2 infection but more likely is an indirect effect of exposure to systemic inflammation or SARS-CoV-2 antigens.

What is the association between body fat and COVID-19?

Researchers recently assessed the association between adipose tissues and COVID-19 by evaluating autopsy cases and profiling adipose tissue responses to SARS-CoV-2 infections.

What are the effects of heavy metals on the risk of endometriosis in reproductive-age women?

The current study focuses on lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury, all of which have been linked to the disordered functioning of the human reproductive system.

A good night's sleep promotes immunity

In a recent study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, researchers in the United States used mice models to understand how sleep fragmentation affects immunological responses and the epigenetic modifications of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). They also conducted a sleep restriction trial in humans to determine HPSC programming and hematopoiesis.

Investigating a potential new treatment for glioblastomas

A research question posed in Pankaj Desai's lab has led to a decade of research, a clinical trial and major national funding to further investigate a potential new treatment for the most deadly form of brain tumors.

Shape-shifting fat cells offer a fertile soil for breast tumor invasion and growth

Fat cells, or adipocytes, that grow in close proximity to breast cancers can shift into other cell types that promote tumor growth, a new study by UT Southwestern researchers suggests.

Study using circulating spike protein and macrophage dysregulation liquid biomarkers reveals heterogeneity in PASC

In a new study, researchers designed a liquid biomarker panel consisting of macrophage and monocyte-related soluble factors and circulating spike proteins to understand profiles of immune dysregulation in patients with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19.

Virology of the human monkeypox virus

A new review to be posted in the Virus Research journal aims to provide an overview of the recent advances reported concerning hMPXV virology.

Medulloblastomas originate much earlier in pregnancy than previously thought and may be preventable

An aggressive type of pediatric brain tumor, medulloblastoma, exists in a pre-malignant form at birth after initially developing during the first or second trimester of pregnancy, according to a new international study.

Scientists track origins of group 3 and group 4 medulloblastoma to the rhombic lip

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have discovered which cells give rise to certain high-risk groups of medulloblastoma.

New genetic discovery improves understanding of congenital heart disease

A new study led by the Masonic Medical Research Institute published in the journal Cells shows for the first time that a particular gene, called VGLL4, is required for embryo development but is dispensable for myocardial growth.

21 Sep 2022

What is the efficacy of aerosol treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infection?

In a new study, researchers assessed the efficacy of the scFv76 antibody against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) lung damage.
