Overweight and obese people at higher risk of COVID-19

Since the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) first emerged in China, a series of studies have provided a better understanding of the virus and how it affects the human body. Evidence shows that vulnerable or high-risk populations include older adults, those who are immunocompromised, and those who have underlying medical conditions.

NYUAD researchers develop new microfluidic platform to perform cancer liquid biopsies

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and has been found to have a significantly higher rate of survival when diagnosed at early stages, before metastasis.

Researchers show possibility to control cell bioenergetics by changing mitochondria content

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have shown that they can give cells a short-term boost of energy through mitochondrial transplantation.

Tofu nutrients called isoflavones could lower heart disease risk

Researchers from the Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital working in collaboration have found that tofu and other plant-based proteins contain certain nutrients called isoflavones that can help those with heart disease and lower their disease risk.

More mental health care utilization reduces odds of suicide among youths, study finds

A multistate study of Medicaid enrollees led by researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center found that suicide risk was highest among youth with epilepsy, depression, schizophrenia, substance use and bipolar disorder.

3D chromatin landscapes in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia important beyond DNA code changes

Children with aggressive blood cancers have differences -- not just in the DNA code of their blood cells -- but also in the heavily twisted protein superstructure that controls access to genes.

Microbiome search-based method can improve efficiency in disease detection and diagnosis

Big data makes big promises when it comes to providing insights into human behavior and health. The problem is how to harness the information it provides in an efficient manner.

Study provides better understanding of how dangerous cancer metastases arise

In order to colonize other organs and grow into metastases, tumor cells that detach from the parent tumor need to manipulate their new microenvironment and create a 'metastatic niche'.

Study identifies ancestral fragments of DNA associated with hereditary prostate cancer

Vanderbilt researchers have identified haplotypes, ancestral fragments of DNA, that are associated with hereditary prostate cancer (HPC) in a first-of-its-kind genomic study made possible by the study of prostate cancer patients with family histories of the disease.

CAR macrophages can be used to effectively fight solid tumors

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has been a game-changer for blood cancers but has faced challenges in targeting solid tumors.

Changes in 3D genetic structure equally important as DNA code mutations in childhood leukemia

A study found that children with aggressive blood cancers have different superstructures of the proteins that control gene access.

Study sheds light on myelin's role in 'chemobrain' and multiple sclerosis

Scientists have discovered that myelin is not as metabolically inert as has previously been thought.

Using 'young NK cells' could improve the effectiveness of immunotherapy for cancer patients

Immunotherapy that involves treating cancer with the body's own immune cells, or those of a matched donor, shows promise in clinical trials for some patients, but not all.

Newly discovered molecule in the lymphatic system could play a role in autoimmune diseases

A study by investigators at Hospital for Special Surgery has discovered a molecule in the lymphatic system that has the potential to play a role in autoimmune disease.

22 Mar 2020

Plasma monitoring of EGFR mutations in NSCLC may help predict resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors

Oncotarget Volume 11, Issue 11 reported that at clinical progression, 64 EGFR T790M plasma positive patients were subjected to second line-treatment with osimertinib and strictly monitored during the first month of therapy.
