Researchers create large-scale 2D and 3D spatial maps of colorectal cancer

In the United States, turning 45 brings with it a rather unpleasant rite of passage: the beginning of regular colonoscopies, in which an endoscope equipped with a light and a camera is used to visually check the colon for signs of cancer.

What is the association between nitrite and nitrate exposure and type 2 diabetes?

Researchers evaluated the association between nitrate and nitrite exposure and T2D (type 2 diabetes) development risks.

Understanding the mechanisms involved in heart disease and cancers

In a crucial step towards understanding the mechanisms involved in cardiovascular disease and certain cancers, a Canadian led research team has succeeded in a world first: they've found the molecular mechanism by which the protein PCSK9 degrades the receptor of low density lipoproteins, the richest cholesterol particles in the bloodstream.

Study sheds new light on how the B cell academy mounts a diverse immune response

Cells jostling for a spot in a germinal center face a cutthroat admissions process. Formed after exposure to a pathogen or vaccine, germinal centers act as a kind of immune system training academy, helping B cells refine their response to the threat.

New ‘smart patch’ can detect proinflammatory biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases

A leading Swansea University scientist has developed a new 'smart patch' that can detect proinflammatory biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases (such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's) through the use of microneedle technology.

New tool for noninvasive imaging can help illuminate hard-to-access brain structures

Talk about a bright idea: Thanks to chemists at Rice University and Stanford University, lighting up the brain is no longer just a figure of speech.

Reconstructing MRI scans with AI promises to expand MRI access to more patients

Artificial intelligence (AI) can reconstruct coarsely-sampled, rapid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans into high-quality images with similar diagnostic value as those generated through traditional MRI, according to a new study by the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and Meta AI Research.

New Pyk2-derived peptide inhibits breast cancer metastasis

An estimated ninety percent of deaths from breast cancer are due to complications resulting from metastasis, a process in which cancer cells break away from where they first formed, travel through the blood or lymph circulatory system, and form new, metastatic tumors in other parts of the body.
