Potential targets against natural killer/T-cell lymphoma found

A team of researchers from the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore (CSI Singapore) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) has discovered that a transcription factor, TOX2, was aberrantly increased in patients with natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL). The increased TOX2 level leads to the growth and spread of NKTL, as well as the overproduction of […]

Researchers identify gene expression signature to predict progression of type 1 diabetes

Researchers from Turku Bioscience Centre and InFLAMES Flagship at the University of Turku in Finland, have identified a gene expression signature that can predict the progression of type 1 diabetes.The study, led by Laura Elo and Riitta Lahesmaa, aimed to identify transcriptional changes associated with disease progression in patients with recent-onset type 1 diabetes. The […]

Researchers discover genetic variation offers Alzheimer’s disease clues

A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Eastern Finland discovered that the APP A673T genetic variant, which protects against Alzheimer’s disease (AD), alters levels of several proteins and peptides linked to amyloid-beta metabolism in human biofluids and cell culture models, including amyloid beta itself. These new data support the idea that even […]

Major progress as Swedish scientists get brain tumors to self destruct

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, working with French colleagues, have successfully developed a method able to kill the aggressive brain tumor glioblastoma. By blocking certain functions in the cell with a docked molecule, the researchers cause the cancer to die of stress.Cancer cells, especially those that form aggressive tumors, are in one […]

Take part in a clinical trial? Sure, just pay me

The majority of people in the U.K. (68%) would consider taking part in a clinical trial, it has been revealed today, while half of Brits would also be willing to take part in an early phase clinical trial. Financial payment is the most popular motivation for taking part in a clinical trial, but discovering new […]

Cancer implications as new molecule can kill ‘zombie’ cells

Over time, the body’s cells stop working properly and begin to accumulate, which eventually leads to tissues aging. Researchers at the UOC (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya) in Spain, in collaboration with the University of Leicester in the U.K. have discovered a new molecule that is able to destroy these old cells without affecting healthy ones. […]

Researchers make cancer weight loss pathway discovery

Nearly half of all cancer patients suffer from excessive weight loss due to the loss of adipose and skeletal muscle tissues, or cachexia. This progressive illness not only reduces quality of life for cancer patients but also poses a serious threat for treatment since it obstructs the use of effective medicines, especially in advanced stages. […]

Could a salt flats pigment treat cancer?

Researchers have identified the anti-cancer capacity of a pigment present in the Santa Pola salt flats in eastern Spain. The pigment is produced by certain microorganisms, the ‘halophilic archaea’, in order to protect themselves from the sun, and its anti-tumor capacity has been tested in several types of breast cancer. The study took place at […]

New epilepsy study could lead to new treatment options

The mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by excessive electrical activity in the brain, remain unknown. Now, using a novel radiotracer, researchers from Japan have been able to offer insight into the role of AMPAR trafficking in epileptogenesis. The radio tracer is [11C]K-2, the first technology to visualize and quantify α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole […]

Diagnosing inflammatory diseases with synthetic peptides

Common inflammatory disorders such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease can be diagnosed or monitored by measuring the protein calprotectin in stool samples, while serum levels of calprotectin could be used to monitor the inflammation status in rheumatoid arthritis. Calprotectin concentrations in patient samples are typically determined using antibodies that bind and detect the protein, […]

Researchers’ mutation discovery offers new Alzheimer’s hope

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting tens of millions of people worldwide, and it is the most common cause of dementia. Early-onset AD is typically associated with mutations in the genes APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2, leading to a more aggressive form of the disease with atypical symptoms. In contrast, the newly discovered […]
