Detecting Alzheimer’s in Hispanic patients may be more difficult than non-Hispanics

Researchers at Shiley-Marcos Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, part of University of California San Diego School of Medicine, report that autopsies of patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease when they were alive -- and confirmed by autopsy -- indicate many cognitive issues symptomatic of the condition are less noticeable in living Hispanic patients.

Researchers reveal important signaling pathway in breast cancer

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America that a particular signaling pathway in breast-cancer tumors causes cancer cells to divide symmetrically, expanding the tumor. Inhibiting the pathway by drugs could become a strategy for eliminating the cancer cells.
