Researchers highlight a significant cancer disparity among young Black men in the American South

Research shows that incidences of Kaposi's sarcoma among people living with HIV have fallen significantly over the past two decades, but a new evaluation of data led by researchers at UTHealth Houston highlights a significant disparity among one particular demographic – young Black men in the American South.

Researchers find an innovative approach to improve waste clearance from the brain

Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and many other neurodegenerative diseases are marked by damaging clusters of proteins in the brain. Scientists have expended enormous effort searching for ways to treat such conditions by clearing these toxic clusters but have had limited success.

Experts emphasize the need to understand the strengths and limitations of ctHPV DNA testing

Oropharynx cancers caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) have risen dramatically over the years, superseding tobacco use and heavy drinking as the primary driver of new cases. Fortunately, HPV-positive oropharynx cancers have an improved survival rate compared to other head and neck cancers, allowing for less intensive treatment options, especially if diagnosed at early stages.

Research shows in real time how immune memory cells are stored in the bone marrow

Vaccines work their magic by effectively creating immune cells that are long lived, often for over decades.

Harmless group of bacteria linked with increased risk of death in patients with end-stage renal disease

A big group of bacteria found in our soil, our water and our showerheads are harmless for most of us, but a new study indicates they are associated with an increased risk of dying in individuals whose kidneys have failed.

Antibodies can prevent surface proteins of bacteria from entering host cells

Using bacteria of the Bartonella henselae species, researchers from Goethe University, Frankfurt University Hospital, the Paul Ehrlich Federal Institute for Vaccines and Biomedicines in Langen, and the University of Oslo demonstrated for the first time that antibodies can prevent certain surface proteins of bacterial pathogens from entering host cells.

Multi-center analysis shines light on invasive lobular carcinoma

A multi-center analysis of patients with invasive lobular carcinoma, or ILC -; the second most common histological subtype of invasive breast cancer in the U.S. -; showed that, despite its prevalence, ILC is detected later and has worse outcomes than the predominant subtype of invasive breast cancer, known as invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), or no special type.
