Dexamethasone shows potential to fight therapy-resistant breast cancer metastases

The drug dexamethasone supplements cancer treatments to alleviate side effects of chemotherapy such as nausea or inflammation.

Study finds GLP-1 drugs improve strength and reverse aging biology in mice

Researchers showed that GLP-1 receptor agonism counteracts aging across multiple organs in mice, improving strength and reversing molecular aging signatures without meaningful effects on body weight. These benefits depended largely on hypothalamic GLP-1R signaling and closely mirrored the anti-aging patterns produced by rapamycin.

Discovery of sequence-driven DNA methylation offers new path for epigenetic engineering

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in each cell.

Intranasal nanomedicine shows promise against glioblastoma

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, along with collaborators at Northwestern University, have developed a noninvasive approach to treat one of the most aggressive and deadly brain cancers.

New sequencing method reveals how transposons move and shape the genome

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome.

New signaling molecule drives development of tissue resident memory T cells

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (TRM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease.

New clues in pancreas lymph nodes, spleen could help detect and prevent type 1 diabetes

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) impacts nearly two million Americans, and by the time most people learn they have it, most of the body's insulin-producing cells are destroyed.

Brain circuit identified as key to repetitive and compulsive behaviors in mice

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have identified a brain circuit that can drive repetitive and compulsive behaviors in mice, even when natural rewards such as food or social contact are available.

New method can stop or reverse the decline of cellular energy production

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production - a finding that could have revolutionary effects across medicine.

Study uncovers role of mechanical forces in human gastrulation

Only two weeks after fertilization, the first sign of the formation of the 3 axes of the human body (head/tail, ventral/dorsal, and right/left) begins to appear.

Study offers new insights on patient care and lung cancer surveillance rates

Despite recommendations for posttreatment surveillance in lung cancer patients, there is wide variability in the follow-up care that lung cancer patients receive. A recent study, led by senior author Leah Backhus, MD, MPH, Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery (Thoracic Surgery) in the Stanford Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, offers new insights on patient care and lung cancer surveillance rates.
