Cancer cells can use lipid molecules as fuel for growth, shows study

Cancer cells can when the blood supply is low use lipid molecules as fuel instead of blood glucose. This has been shown in animal tumor models by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden in a study published in Cell Metabolism.

MILabs' new VECTor5PET/SPECT/OI/CT system installed at TUM campus in Garching

A MILabs VECTor5PET/SPECT/OI/CT system has been installed at the Chair of Pharmaceutical Radiochemistry on the TUM Campus in Garching. Under the direction of Prof. Hans-Jurgen Wester, this institute has established a broad and internationally renowned radiopharmaceutical research program, consisting of fundamental tracer development, innovative radiolabeling strategies, and the preclinical and clinical assessment of new tracers.

Zinc and copper metabolism in baby teeth may help predict ASD risk

Using evidence found in baby teeth, researchers from the Department of Environmental Medicine and Public Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai report that cycles involved in zinc and copper metabolism are dysregulated in autism spectrum disorder, and can be used to predict who will later develop the disease.

Male thyroid cancer survivors face nearly 50% higher CVD risk than women, study suggests

Male thyroid cancer survivors have a nearly 50 percent higher risk of developing heart disease than women within five years of cancer diagnosis, according to a new study published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

CDC interventions targeting gestational diabetes may help mitigate risks for mother and baby

Diabetes in pregnant women can have serious health consequences for both mother and baby, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified four target areas in which increased surveillance, screening, and preventive care can improve maternal and infant health.

Combining football with dietary guidance helps improve fitness, health in older prediabetics

Twice-weekly football training combined with dietary guidance improves fitness level and cardiovascular health profile in untrained 55-70-year-old women and men with prediabetes. Also leads to healthier weight loss than through normal dieting.

Single spinal injection reverses chemotherapy-induced pain for months in mice

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have found a new way to block a root cause of pain. The key is a naturally occurring protein called apolipoprotein A-I binding protein (AIBP). AIBP binds to toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a protein that sits on the surface of cells like an antenna, searching for signs of infection or tissue damage.

Study: Sex hormone levels associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease in older women

In an analysis of data collected from more than 2,800 women after menopause, Johns Hopkins researchers report new evidence that a higher proportion of male to female sex hormones was associated with a significant increased relative cardiovascular disease risk.

Study proposes a new way to reverse the aging process

A new discovery about the effects of aging in our cells could allow doctors to cure or prevent diabetes, fatty liver disease and other metabolic diseases - and possibly even turn back the clock on aging itself.

Study finds link between dietary protein and heart failure risk in middle-aged men

For middle-aged men, eating higher amounts of protein was associated with a slightly elevated risk for heart failure than those who ate less protein, according to new research in Circulation: Heart Failure, an American Heart Association journal.

Review finds high cardiovascular disease mortality rates among homeless populations

Among homeless individuals cardiovascular disease remains one of the major causes of death due to challenges in predicting initial risk, limited access to health care and difficulties in long-term management, according to a review published today in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Most concussion patients do not receive follow-up care after hospital discharge, says study

As evidence builds of more long-term effects linked to concussion, a nationwide study led by scientists at UCSF and the University of Southern California has found that more than half of the patients seen at top-level trauma centers may fall off the radar shortly after diagnosis, placing in jeopardy treatments for these long-term effects.
