Sonic hedgehog plays key role in the repair strategy of large bone injuries

A USC Stem Cell study in NPJ Regenerative Medicine presents intriguing evidence that large bone injuries might trigger a repair strategy in adults that recapitulates elements of skeletal formation in utero. Key to this repair strategy is a gene with a fittingly heroic name: Sonic hedgehog.

Small cell lung cancer subtypes respond differently to chemotherapeutics and targeted drugs

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a malignant disease associated with a particularly high mortality rate. According to a new multicenter study led by MedUni Vienna and conducted in collaboration with researchers from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Sweden and the United States, SCLC can be divided into several subgroups in terms of clinical behavior.

A study of SARS-CoV-2-mRNA booster vaccinations in immunocompromised patients

In a recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology, researchers assessed the immune responses induced by vaccination with the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-1273 vaccine or the BNT162b2 vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections among immunocompromised individuals.

Tabula sapiens, most comprehensive human cell atlas

In a recent study published in the journal Science, researchers created an atlas termed the Tabula sapiens for over 400 distinct cell types of humans. Several aspects of human physiology were revealed by the atlas, such as how different types of cells splice genes differently.

Exercise increases levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor which bolsters dopamine release

Exercise increases levels of a chemical involved in brain cell growth, which bolsters the release of the "feel good" hormone dopamine, a new study shows. Dopamine is known to play a key role in movement, motivation, and learning.

New drug inhibits growth of the most aggressive meningiomas

When a specific non-metastatic brain tumor — a meningioma — recurs after surgery and radiation treatment, a patient is normally out of options. No drugs are approved for these aggressive tumors, which occur in up to 20 percent of cases and can lead to patient disability or even death.
