Diagnosing a heart attack can require multiple tests using expensive equipment. But not everyone has access to such techniques, especially in remote or low-income areas. Now scientists have developed a simple, thermometer-like device that could help doctors diagnose heart attacks with minimal materials and cost. Sangmin Jeon and colleagues note that one way to tell […]
The over-active immune cells responsible for asthma depend on the gene BCL11B to develop into mature cells, according to a study. The identification of this gene’s role could help in the search for asthma therapies. Innate lymphoid cell 2 (ILC2), one of a recently discovered class of innate immune cells, is responsible for regenerating respiratory […]
Researchers discovered a new mechanism of how fluorescent proteins can change colour. It enables the microscopic visualization of individual cells in their three-dimensional environment in living organisms. Researchers at ETH Zurich’s Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering in Basel have developed a new microscopy technique that enables for the first time to selectively visualize individual […]
New research into the causes of the excessive inflammation that drives multiple sclerosis has identified a faulty “brake” within immune cells, a brake that should be controlling the inflammation. This points to a potential target for developing new therapies to treat multiple sclerosis and could have important implications for other autoimmune diseases, such as the […]
The gene and hormone soup that enables women to breastfeed their newborns also can be a recipe for breast cancer, particularly when the first pregnancy is after age 30. Researchers have now found that the gene DNMT1 is essential to maintaining breast, or mammary, stem cells, that enable normal rapid growth of the breasts during […]
UCLA researchers have discovered that for women with a relatively common inherited genetic mutation, known as the KRAS-variant, an abrupt lowering of oestrogen in the body may increase the risk for breast cancer and impact the biology of their breast cancer. Scientists also found that women with the KRAS-variant are more likely to develop a […]
Normal skin contains an unexpectedly high number of cancer-associated mutations, according to a study. The findings illuminate the first steps cells take towards becoming a cancer and demonstrate the value of analysing normal tissue to learn more about the origins of the disease. The study revealed that each cell in normal facial skin carries many […]
Ovarian cancer is notoriously difficult to diagnose and treat, making it an especially fatal disease. Researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center have now identified six mRNA isoforms (bits of genetic material) produced by ovarian cancer cells but not normal cells, opening up the possibility that they could […]
A gene essential to the production of pain-sensing neurons in humans has been identified by an international team of researchers co-led by the University of Cambridge. The discovery could have implications for the development of new methods of pain relief. The ability to sense pain is essential to our self-preservation, yet we understand far more […]
Prostate cancer researchers have drawn a molecular portrait that provides the first complete picture of localized, multi-focal disease within the prostate and also unveils a new gene subgroup driving it. The discoveries are a further step along the road to personalizing prostate cancer medicine say study co-leads, Dr. Robert Bristow, a clinician-scientist at Princess Margaret […]
