Antimalarial Drug Proven Very Effective In Killing Tumor Cells
Researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine, the Abramson Cancer Center, and the School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania, have discovered a new way to fight cancer. Scietists have developed a new drug, called Lys05, which proved effective in killing cancer cells in mice. It seems that the mechanism of action of the new drug consists of blocking the process ...
New Meta-Study Shows Osteoporosis is Linked to Genetic Variants
Scientists from the The Institute of Aging Research, a part of the Harvard Medical School, are the authors of a new large meta-study. During their study they have discovered numerous genetic variants that are connected to a higher risk of osteoporosis in specific patients but are also connected to other bone-breaking disorders. The study was published on the 16th of April ...
Genetically Engineered Stem Cells Capable Of Fighting HIV Infection
In continuation of a previous study that showed that the stem cells from humans could be used to fight cells infected with HIV, after being properly genetically engineered, researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have proven the theory correct. A new study published today in the journal PloS Pathogens shows that genetically engineered stem cells are very effective ...
Study Sheds Light On The Cause Of Congenital Birth Defects
A study conducted by researchers at Sydney's Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute and published in the journal Cell, reveals the cause of congenital defects in newborns. According to the study, it seems that hypoxia combined with a genetic defect during pregnancy increased 10-fold risk of developing an abnormality during embryogenesis. During hypoxia tissues are not sufficiently oxygenated and such disturbances influences the cell and its metabolism. ...
Esophageal Cancer Surgery A Major Cause Of Health Problems In Long Term Survivors
According to a study conducted by researchers at Karolinska Institutet and published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, patients operated for esophageal cancer have long-term health problems in postoperative and quality of life and is well below the national average. Esophageal cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers and the main therapy is esophageal resection. There are several surgical procedures depending on ...
Study Shows Higher Mortality Rate In Obesity Linked To Sleeping Pills
A new study published Friday reports that sleeping pills appear to be connected to the increased risk of death amongst patients suffering from obesity. The study reveals that even patients who have 18 or less pills prescribed during the whole year present a higher risk of mortality. The study received funding from the Scripps Health Foundation. "The associations between sleeping pills ...
Vemurafenib Effective Against Metastatic Melanoma
According to a study led by an international team of researchers from the United States and Australia and researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, vemurafenib (PLX4032), an oral BRAF inhibitor, prolongs lives of patients with metastatic melanoma. After Phase II clinical trial, patients with the BRAF mutation had a higher response rate. Malignant melanoma is an aggressive form of cancer that arises either from ...
‘Rectal-Friendly’ Version Of Tenofovir Gel Safe To Use, According To New Study
A new clinical trial conducted by the U.S. National Institutes of Health categorizes tenofovir (marketed in the United States under the name of Viread) as acceptable and safe to prescribe. Tenofovir is an antiretroviral drug prescribed, based on previous studies, to reduce the number of HIV infections. The study was funded by the Microbicide Trials Network and was presented on ...
Baby’s Eczema Risk Linked To Smoking During Late Pregnancy
Eczema is an allergic skin condition characterized by red, itchy skin and according to a new study it has a greater risk of incidence during infancy in case of mother exposure to tobacco smoke while in the last three months of pregnancy. It is already known that mother exposure to tobacco smoke during pregnancy increases the child's risk of developing a disease of the respiratory ...
Study Reveals How Blood Stem Cells Differentiate
A new study conducted by scientists at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) finds a new stem cell niche along with a signaling tract, both having an important role in providing a good blood supply during life, whilst preventing any premature differentiation. The study has been published in the journal Developmental Cell. This newfound stem cell niche is responsible for the production and ...
