| New model helps identify mutations that drive cancer Posted: 20 Jun 2022 09:23 AM PDT Scientists built a computer model that can rapidly scan the entire genome of cancer cells and identify mutations that occur more frequently than expected, suggesting that they are driving tumor growth. |
| Gene discovery indicates motor neuron diseases caused by abnormal lipid processing in cells Posted: 20 Jun 2022 07:08 AM PDT A new genetic discovery adds weight to a theory that motor neuron degenerative diseases are caused by abnormal lipid (fat) processing pathways inside brain cells. This theory will help pave the way to new diagnostic approaches and treatments for this group of conditions. The discovery will provide answers for certain families who have previously had no diagnosis. |
| Single brain scan can diagnose Alzheimer's disease Posted: 20 Jun 2022 07:08 AM PDT A single MRI scan of the brain could be enough to diagnose Alzheimer's disease, according to new research. |
| New effective combination therapy for pediatric T-acute leukemia Posted: 20 Jun 2022 07:08 AM PDT Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer affecting children. The T-ALL form of leukemia that emerges from early T lineage cells has a poorer prognosis than B-lineage ALL. The prognosis for relapsed T-ALL is very poor and new therapies are sorely needed. Medical researchers have discovered a new combination of drugs that is effective against T-ALL. |
| A smart jumpsuit tracks infants' motor development Posted: 17 Jun 2022 07:19 AM PDT New wearable technology creates new possibilities for assessing the neurological development of young children. Early motor assessment is essential for supporting the early detection of neurodevelopmental problems and their therapeutic interventions. |
| Why vaccination against malaria quickly loses its protective effect Posted: 17 Jun 2022 07:18 AM PDT Scientists have studied the human immune response after immunization with the malaria pathogen Plasmodium falciparum. Their findings could explain why natural infections, to which people in endemic areas are constantly exposed, offer little protection against new diseases with other strains, and why the effect of the vaccination available to date lasts only a short time. |
| Diversity of centrosomes delivers new clues for neurological diseases Posted: 16 Jun 2022 11:27 AM PDT A neurobiologist is pursuing important leads in her quest to elucidate the causes of neurological diseases. Together with her team, she has gained new insights into the human centrosome, whose malfunction is linked to many neurodevelopmental disorders. |
