Colonization of subventricular neurogenic niche by leukemia cells prevents the formation of new neurons

The subventricular neurogenic niche is a region of the brain where tumor cells can hide from chemotherapy treatment to reappear later, causing relapses in patients with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and preventing the formation of new neurons, as demonstrated by research led by Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM).

New antidiabetic substance preserves the activity of beta cells, prevents high blood glucose in mice

High blood glucose is responsible for several complications in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have identified a new antidiabetic substance that preserves the activity of insulin-producing beta cells and prevents high blood glucose in mice.

New tactic to disrupt cancer repair mechanism could lead to a potential treatment strategy

While cancer therapies targeting specific genes or disease pathways have extended lives, they can also lead to highly resistant tumors when small reservoirs of cancer cells survive treatment, grow, and spread.

Scientists create a biobank of 87 triple-negative breast cancer organoids

It's the cancer version of "mini me." Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Professor David Spector, among others, has developed organoids, which are miniature, three-dimensional copies of cancers. Organoids can be derived from cancer or healthy cells.

Study supports positive link between higher avocado consumption and lower cardiovascular events

Eating two or more servings of avocado weekly was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, and substituting avocado for certain fat-containing foods like butter, cheese or processed meats was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease events, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.
