Scientists turn into molecular detectives to find clues to why certain cancer therapies stop working

A new research study at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) turns cancer scientists into molecular detectives, searching for clues for why certain cancers are able to spread and evolve by studying tissues collected within hours of death.

Stringent lineage tracing is vital for nerve cell regeneration studies

UT Southwestern stem cell scientists find that stringent lineage tracing is crucial for studies of nerve cell regeneration. Their results, which are published in Cell, show that this tracing is far from routine in the field and suggest that earlier studies reporting "striking" regeneration results must be reexamined.

Study: Life expectancy gaps between Black and white Americans have narrowed by nearly 50% in three decades

Persistent gaps in life expectancy between Black and white Americans have been highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, this gap has narrowed by nearly 50% in three decades, largely due to improvements among Black Americans, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

Greater viral load of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern increases transmission potential

By quantifying the probability of infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in accordance with its viral load after a high-risk contact, researchers from France, Spain, and the United Kingdom show a substantial correlation of transmission probability and viral load increase in variants of concern.
