A genetic marker already used to flag the risk of a life-threatening reaction to the antibiotic vancomycin also identifies patients at risk of that reaction to lamotrigine—and it is missing from the gene panels clinicians ...

Researchers blocked a naturally occurring molecule to reverse pulmonary arterial hypertension in preclinical models, a finding that could point to a new treatment approach for people with a rare and often fatal lung disease.

For A. Campbell Sullivan, PsyD, this time it's personal. As a neuropsychologist and clinical associate professor of neurology at the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer's and Neurodegenerative Diseases at UT Health San Antonio, ...

Daraxonrasib, an oral RAS inhibitor therapy, achieved durable responses in pretreated patients with RAS-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a phase 1/2 trial led by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

A new study by the Wolfson Center at Cardiff University investigating links between ADHD and depression has shown that underlying factors such as anxiety and negative thought patterns in childhood, adolescence and young adulthood ...

When it comes to aging skin, scientists think of much more than wrinkles. They think of an organ with multitudes of microbes, immune cells, structural proteins and chemical signals that constantly interact with one another.

Clinicians often use a medical test called a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) to diagnose heart problems. It uses electrodes placed on the chest and limbs to record the heart's electrical activity. Artificial intelligence ...

A scientist at Cincinnati Children's who has hunted for decades for ways to shrink the painful and disfiguring nerve tumors caused by neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) has made a new breakthrough in the quest. Nancy Ratner, ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have developed a novel high-resolution spatial genomics platform that may enhance future research into how genome organization and genetic alterations contribute to disease development, including ...

Scientists study the underlying causes of a disease or test potential new drugs in animal models or cells obtained from human biopsy specimens before clinical trials. However, disease models in animals do not mimic actual ...

A new biomaterial developed by researchers from The University of Western Australia is providing fresh insights into the way cancer cells escape from tumors and spread through the body.

Liver cancer is difficult to treat because tumors vary greatly from patient to patient. Researchers at the University of Basel have captured this diversity by creating a collection of mini-tumors, which they use to systematically ...
