A protein that plays an important role in turning normal tissue into cancer has been identified, which could be targeted with drugs in novel treatments for highly aggressive cancers affecting…
Levels of a cytoskeletal protein found in the blood and the brain could form the basis of the first ever blood-based diagnostic test for schizophrenia. Researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys,…
New research has revealed the role that basic leucine zipper ATF-like transcription factor (BATF) plays in the cell pathway that leads to T cell exhaustion, where cancer-fighting T cells stop attacking…
A new study conducted by researchers at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has revealed a mechanism that provides protection against the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD…
Studies have shown the gut microbiome plays an incredibly important role in the health of an individual, having an influence on appetite, energy metabolism, and immune and endocrine functions. The…
While COVID-19 vaccines have been deemed safe, one rare side effect is a blood clotting reaction called vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT). VITT involves a drop in the platelet count,…

A study by researchers the National Institutes of Health and the Uniformed Services University (USU) has identified a new form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) that affects individuals during childhood. ALS,…
Researchers have identified 64 regions of the human genome associated with a higher risk of developing bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is a heritable mental illness with complex etiology that is…
Cancer treatments often fail because cancer cells develop resistance to chemotherapy drugs and the invasive characteristics of cancer tumor cells increase in response to chemotherapeutic processes. Currently, treatments to suppress…
