New findings point to specific genes linked with increased risk of frozen shoulder

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a common cause of shoulder pain and immobility. New findings point to specific genes associated with an increased risk of this condition, reports The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery.

Newly identified process keeps some immune cells on their toes

Cancer cells use an unusual mechanism to migrate into new tissue and form metastases there. The same process probably also keeps some immune cells on their toes.

Pain-sensing neurons protect the gut from inflammation and associated tissue damage

Neurons that sense pain protect the gut from inflammation and associated tissue damage by regulating the microbial community living in the intestines, according to a study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Omicron sublineage BA.2.75.2 largely resistant to several monoclonal antibody antiviral treatments

A study at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows that the coronavirus variant BA.2.75.2, an Omicron sublineage, largely evades neutralizing antibodies in the blood and is resistant to several monoclonal antibody antiviral treatments.

Study determines how fibroblasts play a role in tumor's ability to generate anti-HER2 therapy resistance

A study led by researchers at the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (IMIM-Hospital del Mar) has determined the role that fibroblasts, the cells that contribute to tissue formation, play in a tumor's ability to generate resistance to the most common biological treatment for HER2.

Study illuminates how pain neurons protect the gut from damage

Pain has been long recognized as one of evolution's most reliable tools to detect the presence of harm and signal that something is wrong - an alert system that tells us to pause and pay attention to our bodies.

Rheumatoid arthritis drug can be repurposed to improve diabetes-associated symptoms

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions discovered that the rheumatoid arthritis drug auranofin can potentially be repurposed to improve diabetes-associated symptoms.

Innovative approaches needed to improve flu vaccine effectiveness, experts say

While influenza has taken a backseat to COVID-19 over the last 2.5 years, flu season is here again and, with a significant reduction in social distancing, masking and other COVID-prevention measures, we’ll likely see many more cases of the flu this year, experts say.

SARS-CoV-2 causes neuronal damage and inflammation within a week of infection in rhesus macaques

SARS-CoV-2, the COVID-19 virus, caused significant neuron damage and inflammation within a week of infection in rhesus macaque monkeys, according to a new study.

HIV patients with moderate immune suppression at greater risk of severe COVID-19 "breakthrough" infection

People with HIV who have moderate immune suppression appear to be at greater risk of severe COVID-19 "breakthrough" infection after vaccination, according to a study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Mouse model reveals how RNA splicing defects contribute to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease

Researchers have puzzled over the neurodegenerative disorder Alzheimer's disease for decades, but treatments to stop or reverse the disease's effects on the brain have remained elusive.

Metabolite discovery offers a potential way to address metabolic conditions

"Metabolism" describes the body's chemical changes that create the necessary materials for growth and overall health. Metabolites are the substances made and used during these metabolic processes - or, as a new discovery out of Scripps Research and its drug development arm, Calibr, indicates, they could also be potent molecules for treating severe diseases.

New technology for producing oxygen within cells

Oxygen is vital for life, and clinicians can provide supplemental oxygen to patients through face masks and nasal tubes, but there are no methods available for delivering oxygen directly into cells.

Changes in the skin microbiome may contribute to development of GVHD after stem cell transplant

Organ damage occurs in up to 70 percent of patients in the first few months following stem cell transplant. The precise reasons for this potentially life-threatening reaction have long been the subject of scientific research.
