The threat of serous uterine cancer: A new perspective

Most uterine cancers have excellent five-year survival rates – up to 95% for localized cancer. Serous uterine cancer is an exception, with five-year survival rates of 35% to 50% for stage 1 or 2 cancer.

Fruit fly brain connectome offers critical clues for understanding brain function and behavior

A scientific team supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) unveiled the first complete map of the neural connections of the common fruit fly brain. The map provides a wiring diagram, known as a connectome, and is the largest and most complete connectome of an adult animal ever created.

Revvity's EUROIMMUN launches solution for specific typing of Alzheimer's disease associated APOE gene

Revvity, Inc., announced today the launch of the in-vitro diagnostic EURORealTime™ APOE assay in European countries that accept the CE mark, which will enable accurate genotyping of the APOE gene. APOE genotyping is valuable to assess a patient’s risk for side effects prior to the start of an anti-amyloid (beta) therapy for Alzheimer’s disease.

Exploring the role of melanin in near-infrared spectroscopy measurement outcomes

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive method used to monitor changes in hemoglobin concentration and oxygen levels in the body. This technique involves passing near-infrared light, primarily in the range of 650 to 900 nm, through tissues.

Scientists overcome major challenge in gene therapy and drug delivery

Imagine trying to poke a hole in the yolk of a raw egg without breaking the egg white. It sounds impossible, but researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a technology that performs a similarly delicate task in living cells. They created an array of nanopillars that can breach the nucleus of a cell-;the compartment that houses our DNA-;without damaging the cell's outer membrane.

Study highlights the role of genetic factors in COVID-19 thrombosis and inflammation

Despite global vaccination efforts, COVID-19 continues to pose significant risks, leading to severe complications and fatalities. These risks are driven by disrupted coagulation, impaired fibrinolysis, which is the process of breaking blood clots, and heightened inflammatory responses.

Primary care settings failing to address women's hot flashes

Timely identification and treatment of bothersome hot flashes have the potential to improve the lives of many women and save employers countless days of related absenteeism and lost work productivity. Yet, a new study finds that such symptoms are often not documented in electronic health records (EHRs) or not adequately addressed during primary care visits.

Nanocapsules for glucagon offer a new approach to prevent hypoglycemia

People with diabetes take insulin to lower high blood sugar. However, if glucose levels plunge too low -; from taking too much insulin or not eating enough sugar -; people can experience hypoglycemia, which can lead to dizziness, cognitive impairment, seizures or comas.
