Protein Medin: A new treatment target for Alzheimer's

A recent study published in the journal Nature reported the co-aggregation of medin, a fragment of lactadherin, with vascular amyloid-β in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

UC researcher focuses on studying how gene mutations help pancreatic cancer grow

Only about 11% of people will survive five years after the detection of advanced pancreatic cancer. Such a low rate of success in treating pancreatic cancer is due to its late detection and an incomplete understanding of the disease development processes.

Study describes a mechanism associated with the production of neuropathic pain

Neuropathic pain is a type of chronic pain caused by damage to the nervous system due mainly to metabolic diseases such as diabetes and arthritis, or to the side effects of some kinds of chemotherapy.

Yale researchers identify neuronal basis of impaired consciousness in children with absence epilepsy

Imagine slipping in and out of consciousness hundreds of times per day, staying awake the whole time but having no sense of awareness during these lapses.

Drug combination elicits efficacious anti-tumor immunity against immunotherapy-resistant cancers

Immunotherapy is a way of treating cancer by reprogramming the patient's immune system to attack their tumor.

Older adults with greater severity of hearing loss more likely to have dementia, study finds

A new study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that older adults with greater severity of hearing loss were more likely to have dementia, but the likelihood of dementia was lower among hearing aid users compared to non-users.

Fluid on the lungs associated with open water swimming

Fluid on the lungs, or pulmonary edema as it's formally known, is a relatively little known hazard associated with open water swimming, warn doctors in the journal BMJ Case Reports after treating a woman with the condition.

Researchers demonstrate the role of Klotho protein in the formation of osteoarthritis

Researchers in the United States and Japan have discovered a new mechanism that links age-related cartilage tissue stiffening with the repression of a key protein associated with longevity.

Eating fast food associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

The new year has begun, and with it, resolutions for change. A study from Keck Medicine of USC published today in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology gives people extra motivation to reduce fast-food consumption.

Understanding cat locomotion could help develop better treatment for human spinal cord injury

Cats always land on their feet, but what makes them so agile? Their unique sense of balance has more in common with humans than it may appear.

Researchers discover a protein that makes melanoma more aggressive

Research led by Queen Mary University of London, King's College London and the Francis Crick Institute has identified a protein that makes melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, more aggressive by giving cancer cells the ability to change the shape of their nucleus – a characteristic which allows the cells to migrate and spread around the body.

York researchers shed new light on the sex differences in obesity

A newly published study from York University sheds light on the biological underpinnings in sex differences in obesity-related disease, with researchers observing "striking" differences in the cells that build blood vessels in the fatty tissue of male versus female mice.
