New hormone receptor strategy offers targeted treatment for lupus

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside and City of Hope have identified a new strategy for treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or lupus, an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks healthy tissues.

Spatial study maps active epithelial crosstalk driving chronic periodontitis

Epithelial barriers are active organizers of tissue homeostasis, immune surveillance and host defense, yet chronic inflammation can corrupt their repair and communication with connective tissue.

Aspirin fails to prevent recurrence after surgery for colorectal cancer liver metastases

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in Norway, which also has one of the highest incidence rates in the world.

Eating walnuts was linked to higher IgG levels, but what does that mean for health?

A two-year randomized trial involving 474 older adults found that daily consumption of 30–60 grams of walnuts was associated with 6% higher total serum IgG concentrations compared with a control diet, with an 11% difference observed among US participants. Walnut consumption did not significantly affect IgM, MDA-LDL or MDA-LDL-specific antibodies, and whether the modest IgG difference has meaningful cardiovascular benefits remains unknown.

Skin organoids reveal how herpes simplex virus spreads between cells

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center and University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf have traced in skin organoids, how herpes simplex virus 1 infection progresses among neighboring skin cells, deepening our understanding.

Norrin treatment prevents vision loss in diabetic rats

Over 100 million people in the U.S. are affected by diabetic retinopathy, a complication of diabetes that affects the eyes.

Mechanical force triggers metabolic changes that promote orthodontic bone formation

Bone adapts to mechanical force through coupled formation and resorption, a principle central to orthodontics.

Researchers uncover molecular pathway controlling bone resorption and tooth eruption

RUNX2 is best known as a master transcription factor of osteoblast differentiation. Mutations in, or haploinsufficiency of RUNX2 cause CCD, a skeletal disorder characterized by delayed permanent tooth eruption, supernumerary teeth and clavicular defects.

Space-grown organoids better replicate aggressive glioblastoma tumors

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults and is one of the most aggressive and deadly forms of cancer.

Myeloid immune cells play key roles in aortic health and disease

The aorta is often viewed primarily as the body's largest blood vessel-a durable conduit that delivers oxygen-rich blood from the heart to every organ.

Mayo Clinic enters new medical era with precure research

Mayo Clinic researchers are uncovering the earliest shifts in disease biology - long before symptoms appear - revealing how disease takes root and opening new possibilities to identify, predict and potentially prevent disease before symptoms develop.

Gut microbial catalog reveals systemic inflammation drivers in spinal injury

Scientists exploring the links between a spinal cord injury, inflammation and immune function have turned their attention to a genome-level analysis of the gut microbial community, with early study results offering hints at potential new approaches to aid healing.

Study reveals immune rheostat maintaining skin barrier homeostasis

As the steadfast protector of the body's interior, the skin must be able to swiftly respond to stressors from the outside world and then return to a steady state in order to maintain everyday operations. Coordinating that agile response are epidermal stem cells, which produce the overlying protective layers of specialized skin cells sent to the surface while also maintaining a ready pool of new stem cells to draw from.

Major studies identify accurate non-invasive tests for liver disease

Two major international studies have delivered the strongest evidence to date on which non-invasive tests can accurately diagnose and measure the severity of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its more severe form, MASH, reducing reliance on liver biopsy.

Brief dietary changes may prime the immune system for inflammation

Scientists have long known that diet shapes the immune system. Now, a UC San Francisco team has found that even a brief dietary change can substantially change how the body responds to skin irritation, at least in mice.
