Team ID Pancreatic Cysts Likely to Become Cancerous With 95% Accuracy
June 2019 | Science News
Testing fluid from cysts for a biomarker -- an antibody called mAb Das-1 -- the researchers were able to identify pancreatic cysts likely to become cancerous with 95 percent accuracy.
Study links irregular sleep patterns to metabolic disorders
June 2019 | Science News
A new study has found that not sticking to a regular bedtime and wakeup schedule — and getting different amounts of sleep each night — can put a person at higher risk for obesity, high cholesterol, hypertension, high blood sugar and other metabolic disorders.
Breakthrough process to create cancer-killing drugs. New technique could produce treatments for wide variety of diseases
June 2019 | Science News
Researchers have developed a new strategy for drug discovery and development that can be used to produce targeted therapies against diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration,
Astrocytes Protect Neurons From Toxic Buildup
June 2019 | Science News
Researchers show stimulating mouse neurons in a dish led to the buildup of fatty acids and, eventually, lipid particle release. Then, nearby astrocytes engulfed the particles and amped up the activity of genes involved in energy production and detoxification.
Move Over GFP, There’s Something Brighter!
May 2019 | Science News
The use of fluorescent proteins such as GFP has been a mainstay of biological analysis for decades having their limitations, as they are vulnerable to heat, can be bulky, and only glow in the presence of oxygen. Researchers have created a new fluorescent protein with special properties, in addition to glowing when irradiated with ultraviolet and blue light; the new molecule is exceedingly small and stable under high temperatures.
Novel Type of Immune Cell Discovered in Type 1 Diabetes Patients
May 2019 | Science News
A rogue hybrid lymphocyte, bearing characteristics of both B and T cells, may play a role in driving autoimmunity in the disease, although the mechanism is far from clear. scientists have now discovered a novel type of lymphocyte in type 1 diabetes patients that combines characteristics of B cells and T cells. The researchers suggest that these hybrids could play an important role in the disease by encouraging the immune system to attack the body’s own insulin-producing cells.
Revealing a Previously Unknown Role for the Ribosome
May 2019 | Science News
Researchers have revealed a previously unknown function for the ribosome; it appears to also play a role in destroying messenger RNA (mRNA) and as such, helps regulate the expression of genes.
Prostate Cancer Marker PSA Acts as a Cancer Catalyst Aiding Its Spread
May 2019 | Science News
A research group led by Docent Michael Jeltsch at the University of Helsinki, Finland, has discovered new mechanisms which activate the vascular endothelial and lymphangiogenic growth factors VEGF-C and VEGF-D. These growth factors play a central role not only in fetal development but in the spread of cancer and the formation of metastases.
When macrophages are deprived of oxygen
May 2019 | Science News
Infected tissue has a low concentration of oxygen. The body's standard immune mechanisms, which rely on oxygen, can then only function to a limited extent. How does the immune system nevertheless manage to control bacteria under such conditions? Researchers have discovered that fewer metabolites are produced in the citric acid cycle under hypoxic conditions, leading to a reduced rate of reproduction among bacteria in macrophages.
Large study links rare DNA alterations to type 2 diabetes
May 2019 | Science News
An international consortium of scientists has analyzed protein-coding genes from nearly 46,000 people, linking rare DNA alterations to type 2 diabetes.
