NYU Abu Dhabi research could pave the way for more effective cancer treatments

A team led by Professor of Biology, Senior Vice Provost of Research at NYU Abu Dhabi, and UAE national Sehamuddin Galadari, has discovered a novel structural modification in AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) during anticancer therapy that could pave the way for the development of more effective cancer treatments.

Common prostate cancer medications may increase risk of serious metabolic or cardiovascular issues

Men taking either of the two most common oral medications for advanced prostate cancer who had also undergone hormone therapy to treat their disease were at higher risk of serious metabolic or cardiovascular issues than patients who were only receiving hormone therapy, Michigan Medicine researchers found.

RED-D intervention reduces unplanned hospital readmissions for individuals with depressive symptoms

Results from a new study at Boston Medical Center show how transition support and post-discharge depression treatment reduce unplanned hospital readmissions for individuals with depressive symptoms.

Lowering blood glucose levels could improve fertility in females with obesity

Reproductive hormone levels in females with obesity may be partially restored by lowering blood glucose levels, leading to improved fertility, according to a study published in the Journal of Endocrinology.

Gut microbiota linked to immunocompromised people's variable response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination

In a recent study posted to the Research Square* preprint server, researchers assessed whether disturbances in the gut microbiota weaken the serological response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients.

Immunogenicity of BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine in melanoma patients receiving immunotherapy

In a recent study under review at the Scientific Reports journal and posted to the Research Square* preprint server, researchers evaluated the efficacy of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine BNT162b2 in cancer patients under treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).

Biodegradable, non-ionic polymeric nanovesicles efficiently encapsulate and deliver siRNA

Small interfering RNAs, or siRNAs, hold promise to treat tumors, through their ability to specifically knock down oncogenes that promote tumor growth, without the toxicity that accompanies chemotherapy. However, the siRNAs need a delivery vehicle to protect them from degradation and clearance on their journey through the bloodstream to the cancer tumor.

Study unveils the novel driver of cardiomyocyte loss

Researchers from the group of Eva van Rooij used advanced sequencing technology to better understand the heart disease arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, in which heart muscle tissue is replaced by fat cells. Using explanted human hearts, they found regions in which heart muscle was actively degenerated and identified a new gene, ZBTB11, that drives heart muscle cell degradation. The results were published in Cardiovascular Research on 17 May 2022.
