A new University of Colorado Boulder-led study sheds light on a protein key to controlling how cells grow, proliferate and function and long implicated in tumor development. The findings, published this week in the journal Genes and Development, could lead not only to new therapies for hard-to-treat cancers, but also inform novel treatments for neurological […]
(HealthDay)—More than three-quarters of Americans with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience financial difficulties that often prevent them from getting treatment, new research claims. “Our study results demonstrate the high prevalence of financial toxicity for MS patients and the resulting decisions patients make that impact their health care and lifestyle,” said study author Dr. Gelareh Sadigh, an […]
A new discovery from a team led by Massachusetts Eye and Ear researchers may bring scientists a step closer to developing treatments that regrow the missing cells that cause hearing loss. In a new study, published online December 4, 2019, in Nature Communications, scientists report a new strategy to induce cell division in the mature […]
Consciousness—the awareness we have of our self and surroundings—is often referred to as ‘the hard problem.” It’s not easy to scientifically explain how a subjective experience, which is something intangible, can be created by the brain—a physical object. But understanding more about how consciousness works could help us find treatments when things go wrong. Dr. […]
A protein that is critical in controlling replication of West Nile and Zika viruses—and could be important for developing therapies to prevent and treat those viruses—has been identified by a Georgia State University biologist and his research group. The researchers found Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1) is a sensor that plays a significant role in […]
Now October is in full swing, the days are slowly getting darker and colder – which is enough to make anyone feel a little gloomy. But for some people, the winter weather means more than feeling a little down in the dumps. Seasonal affective disorder, also known as SAD, is a type of depression that […]
Despite improvements in median and short-term survival rates for patients with glioblastoma, the most common brain tumor in adults, the percentage of patients achieving five-year survival remains low, according to new Mayo Clinic research. A study to be published next month in Mayo Clinic Proceedings finds that little has changed in terms of five-year survival—only […]
In this article, we look at the causes of HIV-related fatigue, how to overcome fatigue, and the effects HIV has on a person’s mental health. An unusual level of fatigue, along with other symptoms, can be an early symptom of HIV. Fatigue can be an early symptom of HIV. HIV-related fatigue is often related to […]
TUESDAY, Oct. 23, 2018 — Crowdfunding pleas for dubious or potentially unsafe medical treatments are increasingly common, and raised nearly $7 million on social media in two years, researchers report. An ill patient pleading for naturopathic cancer treatments or hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be hard to resist. Ditto a parent seeking antibiotics for their child […]
In recent years, researchers have begun to fight cancer by genetically engineering a patient’s own immune system to target the disease. Quad Technologies, a company that grew out of a Northeastern research lab, has been developing technology to facilitate this process. This summer, Quad Technologies was acquired by a global life sciences company that will […]
