Finding treatments for children with rare diseases has been a significant hurdle in the medical world. An unexpected source, the common fruit fly, is turning up answers.
In the GENERATE study, 90% of those who viewed an online genetic education program chose to be tested for inherited predisposition to pancreatic cancer.
A research study named Early Check has screened 1,000 newborns after birth in an effort to help identify rare conditions early, provide treatment, give parents educational information, and connect families with specialists throughout the state of North Carolina.
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Boston, MA, USA) and Gustave Roussy (Grand Paris, Villejuif, France) have announced that the third Transatlantic Exchange in Oncology Conference will address: Liquid Biopsy as an Emerging Approach in Precision Cancer Medicine.The meeting, supported by L’Institut Servier, will be held in-person (witha virtual attendance option) on April 12, 2024, at the Revere Hotel Boston Common and livestreamed virtually on Medscape’s platform.
Stay informed! These are the latest research articles on "Long COVID" from the Coronavirus News Source on Newswise.
An analysis of genomic data from nearly 250,000 participants in the National Institutes of Health’s Research Program has identified more than 275 million previously unreported genetic variations, nearly 4 million of which have potential health consequences. The data, reported Feb. 19 in the journal , constitutes a research resource that is unprecedented in its scale and diversity, as 77% of the participants historically have been underrepresented in biomedical research, and 46% are from underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities.

In cooperation with research partners in Germany and France, the infectious disease specialist Dr Jan Rybniker and his team at University Hospital Cologne and the University of Cologne’s Faculty of Medicine have identified new, antibiotic molecules that target Mycobacterium tuberculosis and make it less pathogenic for humans.
A research team from Odense University Hospital and the University of Southern Denmark has developed an innovative screening test. With a blood sample from the expectant mother, they can scrutinize all the genes in the fetus.

Adjuvant therapies to help infertile women conceive by IVF - especially those whose treatments have been unsuccessful in the past - are now a common feature both before and during the treatment cycle. Now, a new analysis of the evidence for many nutritional supplements and diets thought to improve outcome in IVF has concluded that adopting a Mediterranean diet during treatment would offer a single ‘straightforward approach’ with good evidence of benefit in contrast to that of a Western diet.
Scientists have created tiny moving biological robots from human tracheal cells that can encourage the growth of neurons across artificial ‘wounds’ in the lab. Using patients’ own cells could permit growth of Anthrobots that assist healing and regeneration in the future with no need for immune suppression. Lead researchers Prof Michael Levin and Gizem Gumuskaya from Tufts University will provide a brief commentary on the science and potential impact of this discovery, followed by Q&A with reporters.

Researchers at the Mount Sinai Center for Transformative Disease Modeling have released a groundbreaking study identifying 4,749 key gene clusters, termed “prognostic modules,” that significantly influence the progression of 32 different types of cancer. The study, published in Genome Research, serves as a comprehensive resource and lays the foundation for the development of next-generation cancer treatments and diagnostic markers.
Ayuda. Aide. Ajuda. Herupu. Maddata. Help. No matter how you ask for it, health care professionals want to make sure language doesn’t get in the way. A Penn State Health expert discusses how medical interpreters can help.
In an invited commentary, Kathleen Mulvaney, assistant professor with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, talks about the potential of a new drug that has shown early promise in clinical trials for solid tumors by killing cancer cells that lack specific tumor suppressor genes.
Study reveals presenting adults between 76 and 85 with personalized information about the benefits and harms of colon cancer screening decreases excess screening
