New computer model helps identify mutations that drive tumor growth

Cancer cells can have thousands of mutations in their DNA. However, only a handful of those actually drive the progression of cancer; the rest are just along for the ride.

Research findings provide clues on the properties that might have made A. baumannii a successful pathogen

Over 670,000 people in Europe become ill each year as a result of pathogenic bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, and 33,000 people die as a result of the diseases they cause. Pathogens that are resistant to multiple antibiotics at the same time are particularly dangerous.

Research shows how visible hotspots may be easy to target with immune-stimulating drugs

Many cancers include genetic “hotspots,” or sections of DNA that are subject to mutation. For example, a mutation in the TP53 gene is found in more than 50% of all cancers, generally within a narrow DNA range.

A "continuum of conservation" could immensely benefit coral reefs

Earth's oceans are home to some of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, but warming temperatures are causing many marine animals, including coral, to die out.

New technique uses genetic data that may better predict disease risk in a population

Polygenic risk scores (PRS) are promising tools for forecasting disease risk, but current versions have bias built-in, which can reduce their accuracy in some populations and lead to health disparities.

Study shows the role of mucosal-associated invariant T cell in mucosal melanomas patients

Many cancer patients have benefited from the development of anti-cancer immunotherapy drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors, but patients with mucosal melanomas—melanomas that occur in the mucous membranes of the head, neck, eyes, respiratory system, and genitourinary region rather than on the skin—are highly resistive to immune checkpoint inhibitors for reasons researchers do not fully understand.

Research investigates megafire impacts on redwood tanoak forest microbes

Fungi and bacteria that can survive megafires in redwood tanoak forests are microbial “cousins,” typically growing in great quantity after experiencing the flames, according to a new study from UC Riverside.

CD8 + Tscm may has protective immunity to hepatitis C virus infection

The dysfunction of memory CD8 + T cell can not be reverted by successful clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) after direct-acting antivirals (DAA) therapy, increasing the risk of reinfection with HCV.

Safety, feasibility of intranasal human milk as stem cell therapy for preterm infants with intraventricular hemorrhage

A new study demonstrates that intranasal human milk is a safe and feasible intervention for intraventricular hemorrhage, a serious cause of morbidity in preterm infants.

Mice study explains why humans expressing CHT gene variant exhibit attentional vulnerabilities

Mutant mice are providing scientists with a new neurobiological framework to understand the brain changes observed in distractible humans who carry a common gene variant whose frequency has been associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Two distinct classes of stem cells drive treatment resistance in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes

Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered that treatment resistance in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is caused by two distinct classes of stem cells and identified possible therapeutic approaches that target these cells.
