Increased troponin levels in the blood after surgery can be a sign of heart damage

After being anesthetized and undergoing major surgery, up to one in five patients have increased levels of the protein troponin in their blood. This can be a sign of heart damage.

New stroke treatment imitates the survival strategy of C. elegans

Each year, some 200,000 people in Germany and 1 million people in Europe suffer a stroke. This happens when blood clots obstruct major vessels and there is no longer sufficient supply of blood to the brain.

Study provides new insights into molecular drivers of treatment resistance in prostate cancer

An international research team co-led by scientists at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute has identified an important accelerator of treatment-resistant prostate cancer.

Parietooccipital fissure contributes to the invasion pattern of posterior medial temporal gliomas

Researchers from four academic neurosurgical centers in Japan found that the parietooccipital fissure, which divides the temporal, occipital, and parietal lobes of the brain, acts as an obstacle that may result in less invasion of posterior medial temporal gliomas toward the occipital lobe.

Omicron evades immunity more than other SARS-CoV-2 variants

Researchers find that the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant shows a much more extensive escape from vaccine-elicited immunity.

Researchers uncover a key role for SIRT1 enzyme in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive type of leukemia. Despite advances in treatments, patients have an extremely poor prognosis, highlighting the need to explore the genetic components that lead to the formation of T-ALL, as well as the need to discover new targeted therapeutic approaches and treatment resistance.
