Study finds potential HIV cure using existing cancer drug

An existing blood cancer drug has shown promise in killing 'silent' HIV cells and delaying reinfections – a significant pre-clinical discovery that could lead to a future cure for the disease.

Keck School of Medicine researchers receive $12 million grant to study early liver transplantation

Alcohol-associated liver disease accounts for 50% of liver-related deaths, and its rates are rising worldwide.

Strengthening prison reentry programs can help reduce opioid overdose deaths in the U.S.

With opioid overdose deaths surging in the United States, many communities are in desperate need of solutions to bring down the body count. Among the most promising is strengthening prison reentry programs for highest-risk users, a Rutgers-led study has found.

Pig kidney xenotransplantation continues to function well after 32 days

Surgeons at NYU Langone Health have transplanted a genetically engineered pig kidney that continues to function well after 32 days in a man declared dead by neurologic criteria and maintained with a beating heart on ventilator support.

Newly identified helicase might hold the key to a novel family of anti-COVID-19 drugs

Researchers used a multidisciplinary approach to investigate a nonstructural protein essential in SARS-CoV-2 replication.

Yale researchers create "humanized" liver in living mice to study chronic liver diseases

Yale researchers have created a functional "humanized" liver in living mice that will help scientists find human-specific mechanisms for regulating cholesterol levels and potentially for treating chronic liver diseases afflicting tens of millions of people in the United States.

Sugar-sweetened beverages linked to increased risk of liver cancer and chronic liver disease mortality

Approximately 65% of adults in the United States consume sugar sweetened beverages daily. Chronic liver disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and can result in liver cancer and liver disease-related mortality.

Identification of plasma proteins associated with ovarian cancer risk

Researchers performed proteomic Mendelian randomization as well as co-localization analyses to identify drug targets for ovarian cancer.

Hepatitis C treatment initiation found to be low among Medicaid recipients

While there are highly effective treatments for the hepatitis C virus (HCV), only 1 in 5 Medicaid enrollees diagnosed with HCV started treatment, according to a retrospective study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell University's Ithaca campus.

Researchers uncover genetic machinery responsible for EBV-induced B cell growth transformation

B cells or B lymphocytes are an important part of the body's immune system. When healthy B cells are infected with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), they undergo growth transformation, a process that immortalizes B cells, leading to their uncontrolled proliferation.

Penn State researchers develop new method for creating cyclopropanes

Chemical structures called cyclopropanes can increase the potency and fine-tune the properties of many drugs, but traditional methods to create this structure only work with certain molecules and require highly reactive - potentially explosive - ingredients. Now, a team of researchers from Penn State has identified and demonstrated a safe, efficient and practical way to create cyclopropanes on a wide variety of molecules using a previously undescribed chemical process.

CDC report highlights the gaps in care of hepatitis C treatment

The prevalence of hepatitis C virus clearance was only 34% overall and even lower in individuals between 20 and 39 years of age.

3 Aug 2023

Hepatitis C cure still linked to higher mortality rates

Individuals who have been cured of hepatitis C infection still face a substantially greater risk of death compared with the general population - between 3 and 14 times higher depending on liver disease stage, finds the largest study of its kind published by The BMJ today.
