Researchers develop new method to preserve fertility in boys with prepubertal cancer

Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Soroka University Medical Center researchers in Beer-Sheva, Israel are developing a cell culture system that for the first time can change testicular stem cells into sperm-like cells that may enable future fertility for boys with prepubertal cancer.

Scientists point to potentially promising treatment target for deadly brain cancers

Scientists report finding a potentially promising treatment target for aggressive and deadly high-grade brain cancers like glioblastoma. But they also say the current lack of a drug that hits the molecular target keeps it from being advanced for testing as a therapeutic strategy for patients with few treatment options.

WVU researcher aims to produce updated whooping cough vaccine

Before the whooping-cough vaccine came into widespread use in the 1940s, about 9,000 American children died from the infection each year. Today, thanks to the vaccine's efficacy, reported cases of whooping cough have dramatically declined and fatalities have dropped to up to 20 children each year.

Study shows how moderate consumption of alcohol can protect the heart

For at least 20 years, research has shown that for many people, moderate consumption of alcohol can protect the heart, but the reason for this is poorly understood.

Study finds more information about how gene linked to ASD affects the brain

New preclinical research shows a gene already linked to a subset of people with autism spectrum disorder is critical to healthy neuronal connections in the developing brain, and its loss can harm those connections to help fuel the complex developmental condition.

Osteochondral knee defect treated using cell technology

As the publication describes, autologous cells of stromal vascular fraction were transplanted to a 36-year-old man with the use of fibrin matrix. The patient, whose injury had been caused by a fall, then has been under supervision for 2 years.

Researchers discover new defense mechanism against oxygen radicals

Oxygen radicals occur as a by-product when living beings burn carbohydrates or fat. They are suspected of accelerating the ageing process in humans and animals, and to be partly responsible for severe illnesses such as Alzheimer's or certain types of cancer.

Comparative silence between firing spikes of neurons reveals what they are really up to

It's the comparative silence between the firing spikes of neurons that tells what they are really up to, scientists report.

Scientists discover genetic causes underlying group of related infant cancers

The genetic causes of a group of related infant cancers have been discovered by scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, the University of Wuerzburg and their collaborators.

Study combines gene editing and stem cell technologies to predict person’s risk for heart disease

Scientists may now be able to predict whether carrying a specific genetic variant increases a person's risk for disease using gene editing and stem cell technologies, according to new research in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation.

Drug used to treat myelofibrosis can awaken ‘dormant’ lymphomas in the bone marrow

Most patients with myelofibrosis, a rare chronic disorder of the haematopoietic cells of the bone marrow, benefit from drugs from the JAK2 inhibitor class: symptoms are relieved, survival extended and general quality-of-life enhanced.

Gene editing technology predicts heart disease risk

Scientists could now use gene editing and stem cell technologies to predict whether carrying a specific gene variant increases the risk of heart disease.

Studies provide insight into molecular changes prior to onset of arthritis

The results of two studies presented today at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology (EULAR 2018) provide insight into molecular changes prior to the onset of arthritis which could inform future novel diagnostics and early therapeutic interventions.

Study unravels 'blood stem cell niche' puzzle

In humans and other mammals, the stem cells that give rise to all blood cells are located in the bone. But in fish, blood stem cells are found in the kidney. Since the late 1970s, when biologists first realized that blood develops in a specific location in the body — the ‘blood stem cell niche’ — they have wondered why different creatures have evolved to carry out this function in different locations.
