Scientists identify miRNAs associated with type 2 diabetes in humans

MicroRNA (miRNA) molecules in pancreatic islets have been thought to play important roles in type 2 diabetes, but until now scientists have not confidently identified which miRNAs are associated with the disease in humans.

β-damascone can function as an efficient modulator of dendritic cell-mediated functions

Dendritic cells (DCs) are important players of the immune system with important functions such as the identification of infectious pathogens, production of cytokines (chemical signalers of the immune system), presentation of antigens to activate T-cells, and more.

Multi-omics approach uncovers gut microbiome-host interactions in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome patients

Researchers performed a multi-omics investigation of gut microbiome-host interactions and plasma metabolomics among myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) patients.

Scientists find microRNAs in human pancreatic cells that are strongly linked with type 2 diabetes

In a new large-scale genetic analysis, scientists have found a set of small RNA molecules, called microRNAs, in human pancreatic cells that are strongly associated with type 2 diabetes.

New strategies to beat rare tumors of the adrenal gland

Only one in 100,000 people suffer from a pheochromocytoma, a tumor of the adrenal gland. If the tumor has already metastasized, a radioactive compound can be used to detect malignant cells that have spread to other parts of the body, and to irradiate them from the inside.
