Taurine Deficiency Triggers Innate Immune Sensing of Cellular Danger Signals

Sustained low-level inflammation is a hallmark of the aging process. The accumulating damage persistently activates the innate immune system-the body's first line of defense-leading to what is known as inflammaging, functional decline and chronic diseases of old age.

Long-Read Nanopore Sequencing Resolves Unexplained Tumor Mutations

Michigan's Oncology Sequencing Program, or MiOncoSeq, was the first of its kind in the nation to sequence patient tumors.

New Genetic Map Identifies Variations Linked to Long QT Syndrome

Using an innovative, high-throughput technique, an international collaboration led by Vanderbilt Health researchers has created a "map" of 1,757 genetic variations that can trigger a life-threatening heart rhythm disorder called long QT syndrome.

Scientists Discover Molecular Cascade Behind Brain Dysregulation in Angelman Syndrome

Angelman syndrome is a rare disease with a single known cause: one missing gene. The lack of that gene, normally inherited from the mother, occurs in approximately one in 20,000 births and is associated with cognitive and mobility deficits that become evident in children when they are around 6 months of age.

Metabolic Reprogramming Enhances Gamma Delta CAR T Solid Tumor Clearance

By turning a patient's own immune cells into stronger cancer-fighting cells, CAR T-cell therapy has transformed how some blood cancers are treated. But it's been harder to extend this approach to solid tumors, including cancer that has spread to the bone.

Regular Hot Baths Could Alleviate Common Circulatory Disease

A regular soak in a hot bath could help to improve a common painful circulatory disease, with this strategy being studied by researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University, thanks to funding from the British Heart Foundation.

Millions of Older Australians Exposed to Overlapping Medication Risks

An estimated 2.3 million older Australians are being dispensed multiple medicines associated with falls and fractures, while more than 1.2 million are receiving combinations linked to kidney-related side effects, according to new research from Adelaide University.

Novel Molecular Pathway Identified to Combat T-Cell Exhaustion in Cancer

Researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center used a CRISPR screen to identify a key molecular pathway that drives exhaustion in cancer-fighting immune cells, limiting their ability to keep tumors under control.

Cortisol is a Reproduction Friend, Not Enemy

The large systematic review, led by La Trobe University and involving scientists in the United States and Canada, found that while cortisol is often labelled a “stress hormone”, they are a normal and potentially supportive part of female reproductive cycles.

Targeted Interneuron Manipulation Improves Learning and Memory Processing Capabilities

Researchers were able to restore the function of neurons linked to cognitive function and information processing in mice that mimic key features of Alzheimer's disease, showing early promise for the development of a similar targeted therapy in humans.

Artificial Intelligence Integrates Multi-Omic Data to Predict HPV Lesion Progression

Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is extremely common and, in the vast majority of cases, clears up on its own. However, in some people, it persists and can develop into precancerous lesions or even cancer.

Immunometabolic Reprogramming Strategy Addresses Chronic Inflammatory Conditions

Colorectal cancer has become the leading cause of cancer-related death for people under 50. Its most common forms generally aren't treatable, either through conventional means like chemotherapy or newer immunotherapy drugs.

Comprehensive Analysis of Emerging Strategies for Targeting Cyclin-Dependent Kinases in Cancer

More than 30 years after the direct connection was established between the molecular machinery controlling cell division and cancer, a new paper traces the evolution of cyclin-dependent kinase research and outlines the next generation of CDK-targeted therapies.

Scientists Discover Cell Division Mechanism Driving Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Experts from the University of Nottingham have discovered how a common genetic mutation disrupts the positioning of a key protein during cell division, revealing a new mechanism behind acute myeloid leukemia and a potential avenue for future treatment.

New AI Model Decodes the Language of Immune Cell Movement

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and collaborating institutions in Texas developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that helps explain how immune cells find their way to specific locations in the body and why they avoid others.

Massive Tumor Cell Analysis Reveals Secret Mechanism Behind Pancreatic Cancer Resistance

A new analysis of nearly half a million cells from dozens of pancreatic tumors, led by researchers at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center and New York University (NYU), reveals how pancreatic cancer cells continuously reshape their genetic makeup over time, enabling them to evade treatment.
