UTSW researchers identify molecular function of 87 inherited genetic variants linked to prostate cancer

UT Southwestern researchers have identified the molecular function of 87 inherited genetic variants that affect the risk of prostate cancer, and the majority appear to control the activity of genes located far away from the risk variants themselves.

Men and women see different possibilities for action in the same domestic environment

Philosophers seeking to answer questions around inequality in household labor and the invisibility of women's work in the home have proposed a new theory – that men and women are trained by society to see different possibilities for action in the same domestic environment.

Genetic testing program could help to close the gap for some patients with prostate cancer

Some patients with prostate cancer have genetic mutations that may impact their treatment. A comprehensive, on-site genetic testing program, pioneered by urologists, could help to close the gap for this underutilized resource, reports a study in Urology Practice®, an Official Journal of the American Urological Association (AUA).

Severity of COVID-19 in men may be due to the loss of Y chromosome

Men are at an increased risk of a severe bout of COVID-19 compared to women. Researchers at Uppsala University have now shown that this may be due to loss of the Y chromosome in part of their white blood cells.

Researchers identify molecular determinants of post-infection long-COVID

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers presented a transcriptome-wide assessment of blood gene expression changes that occur in acute COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) and are associated with PASC (post-acute sequelae of COVID-19), commonly known as long-COVID.

Cambridge scientists develop a comprehensive tool for predicting individual's risk of prostate cancer

Cambridge scientists have created a comprehensive tool for predicting an individual's risk of developing prostate cancer, which they say could help ensure that those men at greatest risk will receive the appropriate testing while reducing unnecessary – and potentially invasive – testing for those at very low risk.
