New discovery could lead to highly effective ways to treat influenza

It happens every year, especially in winter. A virus saunters into your wide-open respiratory tract, worms its way into lung cells, and, next thing you know, you're lying in bed with a fever, aches, and chills - classic symptoms of influenza, or flu.

New SOL-INCA-AD grant extends the initial study to examine cognitive aging among Latinos

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have received a $24.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Institute on Aging (NIA) to continue the Study of Latinos-Investigation of Neurocognitive Aging (SOL-INCA), a 12-year assessment of cognitive and brain aging and impairment among aging Latinos.

Substances touted to improve athletic performance and high fat diet fuel pancreatic cancer’s development

Researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center have found a cell nuclear receptor activated by high fat diets and synthetic substances in unregulated athletic performance enhancers fuels the progression of precancerous pancreas lesions into pancreatic cancer.

New research may open a window to treating aggressive form of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Survival has improved greatly in children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). But a certain form of ALL that occurs mostly in babies is still very lethal, with a survival rate below 50 percent: B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with rearrangements of the mixed lineage leukemia gene, or MLL B-ALL.

Ultrasound localization microscopy can image microscopic vessels and measure blood flow in the brain

To image microscopic vessels and measure blood flow in the brain, researchers use a tool called ultrasound localization microscopy. It works by using microscopic bubbles circulated through the bloodstream as a contrast agent to measure the reflection of high-frequency acoustic waves passing through the body.
