Key genes that act as a brake on blood cancer growth reveal potential treatment targets
Australian researchers have used an innovative genome-wide screening approach to identify genes, and their encoded proteins, that play critical roles in the prevention of lymphoma development, revealing new potential treatment targets for these blood cancers.
Scientists discover new ‘3D genome organizer’ linked to fertility and cancer
A research team at Kyoto University has discovered STAG3-cohesin, a new mitotic cohesin complex that helps establish the unique DNA architecture of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), the stem cells that give rise to sperm.
Imaging tech promises deepest looks yet into living brain tissue at single-cell resolution
By combining several cutting-edge imaging technologies, a new microscope system could enable unprecedentedly deep and precise visualization of metabolic and neuronal activity, potentially even in humans.
Scientists train deep-learning models to scrutinize biopsies like a human pathologist
In the Age of AI, many health care providers dream of a digital assistant, unencumbered by fatigue, workload, burnout or hunger, that could provide a quick second opinion for medical decisions, including diagnoses, treatment plans and prescriptions.
Mapping fat: How microfluidics and mass spectrometry reveal lipid landscapes
Understanding how fat molecules are distributed and function in living organisms is key to uncovering mechanisms of aging, disease, and metabolism.
AI detects early prostate cancer in more than 80% of samples missed by pathologists
Men assessed as healthy after a pathologist analyzes their tissue sample may still have an early form of prostate cancer. Using AI, researchers at Uppsala University have been able to find subtle tissue changes that allow the cancer to be detected long before it becomes visible to the human eye.
Diagnosing diabetes may soon be as easy as breathing into a bag
In the U.S., one in five of the 37 million adults who has diabetes doesn’t know it. Current methods of diagnosing diabetes and prediabetes usually require a visit to a doctor’s office or lab work, both of which can be expensive and time-consuming. Now, diagnosing diabetes and prediabetes may be as simple as breathing.
