Targeting antidiuretic hormone vasopressin shows promise for autism

Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder with no known drug treatment up until now. Researchers have finally found tweaking certain hormones could help patients with autism. There were two independent clinical trials including children and adults with autism that altered the effects of the hormone vasopressin and to assess the effects on social functioning.

Biomarker may help predict first treatment option for metastatic colorectal cancer patients

Foundational research by a City of Hope physician-scientist and his colleagues could one day help metastatic colorectal cancer patients decide whether to choose immunotherapy or chemotherapy as their first treatment option.

Researchers uncover new brain mechanisms regulating body weight

Researchers at University of Gothenburg, Sweden, clarify the link between the molecule interleukine-6 (IL-6) in the brain and obesity. In experiments on rats and mice they show that the molecule does affect the risk of obesity, and also where this effect occurs in the brain.

Alzheimer's disease may be caused by infectious proteins called prions

Scientists have used advanced laboratory assays to show that high levels of prions are implicated in early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.

Mount Sinai study provides fresh insights into cellular pathways that cause cancer

Mount Sinai researchers have broken new ground in the understanding of the MDM2 gene--which is often overexpressed in cancer--finding that when it acts with a specific protein, it can lead to cancer cell death.

Deletion of ATDC gene prevents development of pancreatic cancer in mice

The action of a gene called ATDC is required for the development of pancreatic cancer, a new study finds.

Study examines how our brain generates consciousness and loses it during anesthesia

Medically-induced loss of consciousness during anesthesia is associated with a break-down of brain connectivity at the anatomical macro scale - across cortical areas - yet what role brain micro circuitry plays in LOC remains unclear.

Study shows how neutrophils exacerbate atherosclerosis by inducing smooth muscle-cell death

Many chronic disorders arise from misdirected immune responses. A Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet in Munich team led by Oliver Söhnlein now shows that neutrophils exacerbate atherosclerosis by inducing smooth muscle-cell death and that a tailored peptide inhibits the process.
