High-performing age-stratified machine-learning models for the prediction of the severity of COVID-19 progression

The current study aims to use sophisticated machine learning models that stratify patient data by age group to predict disease progression in almost 7,000 patients studied in community hospital settings.

Researchers create models to study brain metastases that recapitulate the disease

The spreading of different types of cancer cells to the brain, forming brain metastases, is the main cause of morbidity and mortality associated to cancer. Now, a new study led by Cláudia C. Faria, principal investigator in the group of João Taborda Barata at the Instituto de Medicina Molecular João Lobo Antunes (iMM; Portugal) and neurosurgeon at the Hospital Santa Maria (HSM, CHULN, Portugal), and published today in the scientific journal Cell Reports Medicine* created a library of models to study brain metastases that recapitulate the disease in humans. These models can be a relevant tool to understand the disease and discover new therapeutical approaches tailormade to each patient.

Hydrogen sulfide production in the gut is based on animal- or plant-based diet, study finds

Published in Clinical Nutrition, researchers from the University of Minnesota Medical School looked at colonic hydrogen sulfide - a toxic gas in the body that smells like rotten eggs - production in people in response to animal- and plant-based diet interventions.

Study offers a path to closing the knowledge gap about differences in breast cancer genes

Too many women are getting unnecessary mastectomies and other invasive procedures because of a knowledge gap about differences in cancer genes. A new study offers a path to closing the gap.

Measuring BMI in a new way can help identify individuals at risk of developing type 2 diabetes

Obesity and excess weight increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but individuals of normal weight can also develop the disease.

Novel magnetic therapy complements chemotherapy to enhance breast cancer treatment outcomes

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated death for women worldwide. While chemotherapy is the mainstream treatment for breast cancer, more than 50% of women undergoing chemotherapy will experience at least one chemotherapy-related adverse side effect.

New WHO report recommends interventions and policy options to tackle obesity in Europe

The new WHO European Regional Obesity Report 2022, published on 3 May by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, reveals that overweight and obesity rates have reached epidemic proportions across the Region and are still escalating, with none of the 53 Member States of the Region currently on track to meet the WHO Global Noncommunicable Disease (NCD) target of halting the rise of obesity by 2025.

New method enables the structural analysis of RNA molecules

We live in a world made and run by RNA, the equally important sibling of the genetic molecule DNA. In fact, evolutionary biologists hypothesize that RNA existed and self-replicated even before the appearance of DNA and the proteins encoded by it.

Novel genetic mapping study traces links between DNA variations and blood proteins

A new genetic mapping study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health traces links between DNA variations and thousands of blood proteins in two large and distinct populations. The results should help researchers better understand the molecular causes of diseases and identify proteins that could be targeted to treat these diseases.

New method increases efficiency of gene editing while minimizing DNA deletion sizes

Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) scientists working on CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing technology have developed a method to increase efficiency of editing while minimizing DNA deletion sizes, a key step toward developing gene editing therapies to treat genetic diseases.

Ongoing cancer research mainly focuses on disparities and equity

Years of cancer research continues to yield valuable insight and life-saving measures. The topic of cancer disparities and equity, which aims to understand why some groups of people may be more or less likely to develop cancer, experience cancer-related health problems, or have less frequent use of screening tests than other groups of people, is one of many research areas being explored and critical to progress against the disease.
