A review of global literature suggests Kawasaki disease may be linked to outdoor environmental exposures, with the most consistent signals for long-term or prenatal particulate matter and airborne biological agents, and reveals mixed findings for […]
Carnegie Mellon researchers have proven that widely available earbuds can double as heart-monitoring devices, capturing subtle cardiac activity with near-clinical accuracy and potentially expanding access to long-term, at-home care. By repurposing built-in components, the team […]
Antibody therapeutics are laboratory-made proteins designed to work like the body’s natural antibodies. They are widely used to treat diseases such as cancer by binding to specific targets, including cancer cells or inflammatory molecules. However, […]
As millions of women enter menopause each year, gaps in clinician education continue to limit access to effective care. A new study evaluating a menopause-focused educational program for primary care clinicians has found that targeted, […]
Levodopa—the gold-standard treatment for Parkinson’s disease—increases dopamine in the brain. But as the disease progresses in severity, patients often need to take additional drugs to manage their symptoms. One class of drugs, called catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitors […]
Long-term opioid prescribing has fallen in the United States over the last decade, but millions of patients still received opioids for 90 days or longer in 2023, according to a new research letter in JAMA […]
23andMe Research Institute, a nonprofit medical research organization, announced the publication of a study that identifies genetic predictors for GLP-1 weight loss efficacy and side effects. GLP-1 receptor agonists, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, have transformed […]
B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common form of childhood cancer. In this type of cancer, which affects blood cells, one of the most common abnormalities is the presence of cells with an excess […]
In a preclinical study published in Cancer Research, researchers from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified one way that lung cancer becomes resistant to radiation therapy and then developed a strategy […]
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified an epigenetic target for replication stress, called DPY30, that could sensitize pancreatic tumors to immunotherapy and serve as a predictive biomarker for patients […]
