AI tool can rapidly decode brain tumor DNA during surgery

Scientists have designed an AI tool that can rapidly decode a brain tumor's DNA to determine its molecular identity during surgery - critical information that under the current approach can take a few days and up to a few weeks.

New molecular pathway identified for early onset coronary artery disease

A novel molecular pathway to explain how a mutation in the gene ACTA2 can cause individuals in their 30s – with normal cholesterol levels and no other risk factors - to develop coronary artery disease has been identified, according to researchers with UTHealth Houston.

Children with mitochondrial disorders have weaker antibody response to viral infections, study finds

In a new study, National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers found that altered B cell function in children with mitochondrial disorders led to a weaker and less diverse antibody response to viral infections.
