Team-oriented approach improves the risk of acquiring post-procedural acute kidney injury

Findings from a new study published in The Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, involving a collaborative effort between researchers at Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine, Vanderbilt, and Veteran's Affairs (VA) medical centers, show that an implementation science approach using team-based coaching and automated surveillance reporting significantly improves the risk of acquiring post-procedural acute kidney injury (AKI) when compared to other interventions.

Wistar scientists receive $397,663 to explore the ability of natural killer cells to kill HIV-infected cells

amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, has awarded Luis J. Montaner, D.V.M., D.Phil., in collaboration with Mohamed Abdel-Mohsen, Ph.D., a Target Grant for $397,663 over two years. Montaner, who leads The Wistar Institute's HIV Research Program, is studying the ability of a type of immune cell known as natural killer (NK) cells to kill HIV-infected cells.

Researchers create large-scale 2D and 3D spatial maps of colorectal cancer

In the United States, turning 45 brings with it a rather unpleasant rite of passage: the beginning of regular colonoscopies, in which an endoscope equipped with a light and a camera is used to visually check the colon for signs of cancer.

What is the association between nitrite and nitrate exposure and type 2 diabetes?

Researchers evaluated the association between nitrate and nitrite exposure and T2D (type 2 diabetes) development risks.

Understanding the mechanisms involved in heart disease and cancers

In a crucial step towards understanding the mechanisms involved in cardiovascular disease and certain cancers, a Canadian led research team has succeeded in a world first: they've found the molecular mechanism by which the protein PCSK9 degrades the receptor of low density lipoproteins, the richest cholesterol particles in the bloodstream.

Study sheds new light on how the B cell academy mounts a diverse immune response

Cells jostling for a spot in a germinal center face a cutthroat admissions process. Formed after exposure to a pathogen or vaccine, germinal centers act as a kind of immune system training academy, helping B cells refine their response to the threat.

New Pyk2-derived peptide inhibits breast cancer metastasis

An estimated ninety percent of deaths from breast cancer are due to complications resulting from metastasis, a process in which cancer cells break away from where they first formed, travel through the blood or lymph circulatory system, and form new, metastatic tumors in other parts of the body.
