Researchers circumvent radiation resistance in subtypes of brain tumours
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Researchers have uncovered a gene that is overexpressed in mutated IDH1. Studies in human cells and a novel mouse model both show that this gene, called ZMYND8, plays a critical role in radiation resistance. When they knocked down the gene, the glioma cells became responsive to radiation tre

Study reveals genetic change in esophageal mucous membrane lead to esophag
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Barrett oesophagus is a genetic mutation in the esophageal mucous membrane that can lead to esophageal cancer. If certain biomarkers, known as miDNA, which are extremely short DNA strands, are found in these tissue alterations, it could be an indication that this preliminary stage of esophag

Research: Genetic clues link lipoprotein A to prostate cancer risk
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
A new analysis has uncovered a potential link between higher prostate cancer risk and genetic variants associated with higher bloodstream levels of the cholesterol-transporting molecule lipoprotein A. Anna Ioannidou of Imperial College London, U.K., and colleagues present these findings in t

Researchers discover new mechanism to boost RNA therapies
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Investigators from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai have identified how biological pacemaker cells--cells that control your heartbeat--can "fight back" against therapies to biologically correct abnormal heartbeat rates. The research also uncovered a new way to boost the effectivenes

Evidence of autoimmunity's origins uncovered via new approach: Study
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
A study supports the idea that some T cells that react to microbes also may react to normal human proteins, causing autoimmune disease. The findings promise to accelerate efforts to improve diagnostic tools and treatments for autoimmune diseases.
