Eating disorders (ED) such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and binge eating disorder affect approximately 5-10% of the general population, but the biological mechanisms involved are unknown. Researchers at Inserm Unit 1073, ‘Nutrition, inflammation and dysfunction of the gut-brain axis’ (Inserm/University of Rouen) have demonstrated the involvement of a protein produced by some intestinal bacteria that […]
An international team of researchers led by KU Leuven has developed a new test to help doctors diagnose ovarian tumours and choose the most appropriate treatment. The researchers have recently described the test called ADNEX ` Existing predication models for ovarian cancer discriminate between benign and malignant tumours but lack accuracy and are unable to […]
A newly discovered population of immune cells in tumours is associated with less severe cancer outcomes in humans, and may have therapeutic potential, according to a new UC San Francisco study of 3,600 human tumours of 12 types, as well as mouse experiments. Molecules associated with these cells, newly identified by the UCSF researchers, could […]
University of Utah scientists have identified two microRNA molecules that control chronic inflammation, a discovery that one day may help researchers prevent certain fatal or debilitating conditions before they start. ‘We’re living at a time where the aging population is growing,’ said Ryan O’Connell, D.Phil., assistant professor of pathology, whose lab made the discovery. ‘The […]
Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have identified the long-sought activating molecules for a rare but crucial subset of immune system cells that help rally other white blood cells to fight infection. In the process, the team also uncovered a previously unsuspected link between the mammalian immune system and the communication systems of simpler […]
Researchers at the University of Connecticut have found a new way to identify protein mutations in cancer cells. The novel method is being used to develop personalized vaccines to treat patients with ovarian cancer. “This has the potential to dramatically change how we treat cancer,” says Dr. Pramod Srivastava, director of the Carole and Ray […]
A team of scientists, led by researchers at The Wistar Institute, has identified a possible explanation for why middle-aged adults were hit especially hard by the H1N1 influenza virus during the 2013-2014 influenza season. The findings offer evidence that a new mutation in H1N1 viruses potentially led to more disease in these individuals. Their study […]
A new study led by researchers at King’s College London in collaboration with the University of Manchester and the University of Dundee has found a strong link between exposure to peanut protein in household dust during infancy and the development of peanut allergy in children genetically predisposed to a skin barrier defect. Around 2% of […]
Tumour cells isolated from the blood of patients with triple negative breast cancer reveal similar cancer-driving mutations as those detected from standard biopsy, suggesting that circulating cells could one day replace tissue biopsies The genetic fingerprint of a metastatic cancer is constantly changing, which means that the therapy that may have stopped a patient’s cancer […]
An international research collaboration led by UC San Francisco researchers has identified a genetic variant common in Latina women that protects against breast cancer. The variant, a difference in just one of the three billion “letters” in the human genome known as a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), originates from indigenous Americans and confers significant protection from […]
