Duke researchers discover potential cause for ALS syndromes using mouse models

A team of researchers at Duke University Medical Center led by Dr. Paulo Ferreira and whose work was supported by the National Institutes of Health has found that derailing the transport of certain receptors that carry cargoes from and to the nucleus of motor neurons causes motor neuron disease in mice.

Using Spherical Nucleic Acids to Track and Treat Disease

Spherical nucleic acids are structures that are made by taking a nanoparticle template and using chemistry to arrange short strands of DNA or RNA on the surface of those particles. The spherical core of the nanoparticle creates a spherical arrangement of DNA or RNA, similar to tiny little balls of nucleic acids.

Two migration proteins increase predictive ability of biomarker for pancreatic cancer

Adding two blood-borne proteins associated with cancer cell migration increases the predictive ability of the current biomarker for pancreatic cancer to detect early stage disease, a research team from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center reports in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

UNC Lineberger achieves major milestone with launch of cellular immunotherapy program

University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have achieved a major milestone with the launch of two clinical trials testing an experimental therapy in which patients' own immune cells are genetically engineered to fight their cancer.

UC scientists discover new strategy to personalize blood, brain cancer therapy

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine have discovered a new potential strategy to personalize therapy for brain and blood cancers.

Duke researchers use new technique for assessing cancer cell's stiffness

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have discovered a way to detect signs of cancer on a cell-by-cell basis using two lasers and a camera.

Danish researchers get closer to finding treatment for malignant cerebral tumour in children

DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma) is a rare malignant cerebral tumour in children. It has only a 1% 5-year survival rate, amongst other things because it is not possible to operate because the tumour is located in the brain stem.

Scientists identify potential therapeutic target for aggressive lymphomas

Scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III have identified a possible therapeutic target for 2 types of very aggressive lymphomas.

Walnut-enriched diet may improve sperm quality, animal research suggests

New animal research suggests eating a walnut-enriched diet may improve sperm quality by reducing lipid peroxidation, a process that can damage sperm cells.

Biologists develop new way to inhibit cancer cell cleanup mechanism

The genomes of cancer cells--cells that do not obey signals to stop reproducing--are riddled with genetic mutations, causing them inadvertently to make many dysfunctional proteins.

Study suggests new strategy for treating Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common form of dementia. In search for new drugs for AD, the research team, led by Professor Mi Hee Lim of Natural Science at UNIST has developed a metal-based substance that works like a pair of genetic scissors to cut out amyloid-β (Aβ), the hallmark protein of AD.

Scientists develop in vitro stem cell-based bioassay for detecting biological activity of BoNTs

Scientists at the Institute for Infectious Diseases, University of Bern have developed an in vitro stem cell-based bioassay grown on multi-electrode arrays capable of detecting the biological activity of Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins.

Activated T-cells promote heart failure after heart attack

Chronic inflammation after a heart attack can promote heart failure and death. University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers have now shown that activated T-cells — part of the immune system's inflammatory response — are both necessary and sufficient to produce such heart failure.

KRAS ‘imbalances’ that emerge over time may influence cancer treatment response

Choosing among cancer treatments increasingly involves determining whether tumor cells harbor specific, mutated "oncogenes" that drive abnormal growth and that may also be especially vulnerable or resistant to particular drugs.

Researchers justify alternative theory about cause of type 1 diabetes

An international team of researchers led by City of Hope's Bart Roep, Ph.D., the Chan Soon-Shiong Shapiro Distinguished Chair in Diabetes and professor/founding chair of the Department of Diabetes Immunology, has been able to justify an alternative theory about the cause of type 1 diabetes (T1D) through experimental work.
