IIT Madras researchers develop innovative method using mild laser-induced convection to enhance drug delivery for retinal disorders.
More under-5s ending up in hospital on hot days, creating lifelong health risks
Caregivers are being warned to be aware of the lifelong health risks that hot days can pose to children under five.
Multiple myeloma: Cilta-cel found highly effective in real-world study
A new study shows strong alignment between real-world outcomes and those seen in clinical trials among a broad population of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. In the first study to report real-world outcomes from ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel), a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy for multiple myeloma, patients experienced efficacy and safety results similar to those seen in clinical trials, according to new results.
New imaging technique accurately detects aggressive kidney cancer
A new study has demonstrated a new, non-invasive imaging technique can accurately detect clear-cell renal cell carcinoma, the most common form of kidney cancer.
New method harnesses light to activate neurons in the brain
University of Rochester researchers have demonstrated a noninvasive method using BL-OG, or bioluminescent optogenetics, that harnesses light to activate neurons in the brain.
New study could lead to a more potent treatment option for multiple sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a long-term disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective layer around nerve cells, known as the myelin sheath.
New study links pulmonary carcinoid aggressiveness to TERT gene activation
Pulmonary carcinoids are rare tumors of the lung with extremely different clinical courses. In many patients, they behave like benign tumors; surgical removal of the tumor leads to a complete cure. However, some patients experience aggressive growth and spread (metastasis) of the tumor with poor chances of recovery. The biological causes of these different forms of the disease are still unknown.
New study reveals warning signs of colon cancer in young people
The incidence of colon cancer is rising globally, particularly among younger individuals who exhibit different symptoms and often face more aggressive forms of the disease.
New treatment proposed for brain metastases resistant to immunotherapy
Researchers at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) propose a new treatment for brain metastases that respond poorly, or not at all, to immunotherapy, and provide a biomarker to predict in which cases it should be used.
Non-invasive imaging technique can accurately detect clear-cell renal cell carcinoma
A new study led by investigators from the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has demonstrated a new, non-invasive imaging technique can accurately detect clear-cell renal cell carcinoma, the most common form of kidney cancer.
Research points to potential new treatment for aggressive prostate cancer subtype
Researchers describe the mechanisms of how alterations in the CDK12 gene drive prostate cancer development and report on a promising degrader that targets CDK12 and a related gene to destroy tumors.
Researchers develop new injectable to prevent hypoglycemia in diabetics - Greater Kashmir
According to the team, if glucose levels plunge too low, people can experience hypoglycemia, which can lead to dizziness, cognitive impairment, seizures or comas
Study links obesity and diabetes to higher recurrence rates in liver cancer
Hepatocellular carcinoma, a type of liver cancer associated with hepatitis infections, is known to have a high recurrence rate after cancer removal.
The impact of KRAS mutations on pancreatic cancer progression and survival
A common mutation in the KRAS gene is associated with improved overall survival in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) compared with other variants, in part because the mutation appears to lead to less invasiveness and weaker biological activity, according to a multicenter study conducted at Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and other institutions.
Turning brain cells on using the power of light
Researchers have developed a noninvasive way of using bioluminescent optogenetics to activate parts of the brain.
