New York, September 26, 2024.- A new preclinical model using CRISPR, an advanced technology that allows scientists to cut and edit genes, has given Weill Cornell Medicine researchers and their colleagues a deeper insight into how prostate cancer spreads or metastasizes. In the study, published Sept. 23 in Cancer Discovery,Continuar Leyendo
Scientists have identified a gene which, when missing or impaired, can cause obesity, behavioural problems and, in mothers, postnatal depression. The discovery, reported on 2 July in Cell, may have wider implications for the treatment of postnatal depression, with a study in mice suggesting that oxytocin may alleviate symptoms. Cambrigde,Continuar Leyendo
Daniel Charlebois and an early-career international research team have been granted US$1.2 million from the Human Frontiers Science Program to seek to answer the question “How predictable is evolution?” Charlebois, along with Michael Manhart from Rutgers University and Meike Wortel from the University of Amsterdam, will examine the development ofContinuar Leyendo
Ythaca, May 06, 2024.- Applying a pretreatment of a parathyroid hormone, commonly used to increase bone mass to combat osteoporosis, can help improve cartilage health and slow the development of osteoarthritis, Cornell researchers have found. The team, led by Marjolein van der Meulen, the James M. and Marsha McCormick DirectorContinuar Leyendo
Machines can learn not only to make predictions, but to handle causal relationships. An international research team shows how this could make medical treatments safer, more efficient, and more personalised. Cambrigde, April 28, 2024.- Artificial intelligence techniques can be helpful for multiple medical applications, such as radiology or oncology, whereContinuar Leyendo
New York, April 26, 2024.- Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a powerful new technique to generate “movies” of changing protein structures at speeds of up to 50 frames per second. Senior author Simon Scheuring, the Distinguished Professor of Anesthesiology Research at Weill Cornell Medicine, and colleagues developed theContinuar Leyendo
University of Arizona researchers have developed chemical probes that modify proteins in mosquito larvae gut, hindering their food digestion and growth. Tucson, March 21, 2024.- Mosquito-borne illnesses remain a formidable challenge threatening millions of people each year with diseases such as malaria, dengue, zika and chikungunya. To develop a mosquitoContinuar Leyendo
A study by a scientific team from the University of Vienna and the MedUni Vienna, recently published in the top-class journal Cellular & Molecular Immunology, has a promising result from tumor research: The enzyme phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHDGH) acts as a metabolic checkpoint in the function of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) andContinuar Leyendo
Long-term followup study reveals “tremendous survival advantage” of combining biventricular pacemakers with simpler implantable cardioverter-defibrillators for eligible heart failure patients. Alberta, Feb 27, 2024.- Recently published research in the New England Journal of Medicine reveals the power of cardiac-resynchronization pacing in addition to an implantable defibrillator to save lives in patientsContinuar Leyendo
Ithaca, 22 Feb, 2024.- Although it is one of the oldest medications used to treat patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and an effective treatment for an associated arthritis condition called spondyloarthritis (SpA), sulfasalazine’s mechanism of action has been unclear. Now researchers at the Jill Roberts Center for IBD andContinuar Leyendo
