Combination of western-style high-fat diet with antibiotic can increase the risk of pre-IBD

Researchers have found that combining a Western-style high-fat diet with antibiotic use significantly increases the risk of developing pre- inflammatory bowel disease.

Imaging mass spectrometry identifies tumor markers for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Volume 11, Issue 28 of Oncotarget features "Lipid and protein tumor markers for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma identified by imaging mass spectrometry" by Schmidt et. al. which reported that the authors used MALDI imaging mass spectrometry and immunohistochemistry to seek tumor-specific expression of proteins and lipids in HNSCC samples.

Healthy microbiome can reduce severity of chickungunya disease

Chikungunya virus, once confined to the Eastern Hemisphere, has infected millions of people in the Americas since 2013, when mosquitoes carrying the virus were discovered in the Caribbean.

RNA editing repair technique shows promise for treating neurological disorders

Researchers have effectively edited RNA in a living creature such that the repaired RNA subsequently rectified a mutation in a protein that leads to Rett syndrome—a debilitating neurological disorder that affects people.

DNA sequencing method maps long-range connections between brain regions

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) has developed a novel method that employs DNA sequencing to efficiently plot long-range connections between various brain regions.

Umbilical cord blood treats children born with non-cancerous genetic disorders

Researchers at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh found that infusing umbilical cord blood -- a readily available source of stem cells -- safely and effectively treated 44 children born with various non-cancerous genetic disorders, including sickle cell, thalassemia, Hunter syndrome, Krabbe disease, metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) and an array of immune deficiencies.

Golgi membrane protein drives growth and invasion of breast cancer

The cover for issue 28 of Oncotarget features Figure 5, "TMEM165 expression levels alters N-linked glycosylation," by Murali, et al., and reported that the TMEM165 protein was not detected in non-malignant matched breast tissues and was detected in invasive ductal breast carcinoma tissues by mass spectrometry.

Research helps uncover hidden gene associations in our cells

As cells develop, changes in how our genes interact determines their fate. Differences in these genetic interactions can make our cells robust to infection from viruses or make it possible for our immune cells to kill cancerous ones.

New radiopharmaceutical offers precise diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer in preclinical studies

Researchers have developed a new pair of agents that show exceptional effectiveness for precision diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer in preclinical studies.

Novel approach to analyze organ development through gene analysis in single cells

When cells develop, variations in the interaction of genes of an individual determine their fate. Such variations in genetic interactions can make the individual’s cells powerful against infection from viruses or enable the immune cells to kill the tumor cells.

New study could help develop artificial photosynthetic technology for energy production

Biological membranes perform significant functions in shaping the cell, transporting molecules, sensing the external environment, and producing energy for life.

PET radiotracer is safe and effective for imaging malignant brain tumors

A first-in-human study presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2020 Annual Meeting has demonstrated the safety, favorable pharmacokinetic and dosimetry profile of 64Cu-EBRGD, a new, relatively long-lived PET tracer, in patients with glioblastomas.
