Promising antidepressant offers hope for glioblastoma treatment

Glioblastoma is a particularly aggressive brain tumor that at present is incurable. Cancer doctors can extend patients' life expectancy through operations, radiation, chemotherapy or surgical interventions. Nevertheless, half of patients die within twelve months of diagnosis.

AI-powered research to advance understanding of radiation exposure risks

Keck Graduate Institute (KGI), a member of The Claremont Colleges, has been awarded a significant grant from the Department of Energy to investigate the effects of low-dose radiation on human beings. The research will advance society's understanding of the collateral and long-term effects of radiation exposure, whether through an individual's vocation or by way of common treatments for certain forms of cancer.

Anti-fibrotic drug shows promise in breast cancer

The most common breast cancer is HER2-negative, so called because it has low amounts of one of the proteins that contribute to tumor cell growth, HER2. Despite this common trait, the development of HER2-negative cancers varies among patients, so one goal is to be able to classify tumors in more detail and thus determine the best treatment for each case.

Lipid metabolism plays a critical role in red blood cell recovery from acute anemia

Red blood cells are the most abundant cells in the body. It has long been known that when red blood cells break down or anemia occurs due to bleeding, the hormone erythropoietin (EPO) increases, leading to the proliferation of immature cells (erythroblasts) that eventually become red blood cells, thus restoring the red blood cell count.

Hypothalamic ECM remodeling drives insulin resistance, contributing to obesity and diabetes

Researchers have discovered that remodeling of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the hypothalamus, specifically around AgRP neurons, drives insulin resistance and metabolic disease. Disrupting this ECM buildup improves insulin sensitivity and may be a promising treatment for obesity and diabetes.
