Medical Xpress / Stem cells at the root of tooth aging point to possible treatment
With age, teeth get increasingly brittle and susceptible to damage from tooth decay, which can eventually lead to tooth loss. Teeth have an intrinsic capability to regenerate, a process that is driven by dental pulp stem ...
Medical Xpress / Dementia drug may help treat alcohol withdrawal
A new study from researchers at the University of Kentucky's Sanders-Brown Center on Aging is exploring whether a drug originally developed to combat neuroinflammation in dementia could also help reduce the harmful brain ...
Medical Xpress / Molecular pathways behind inflammation in alcohol-associated liver disease mapped
Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators have identified molecular mechanisms that drive inflammation in alcohol-associated liver disease. Their preclinical discoveries could one day provide targets for therapies ...
Medical Xpress / Gut bacteria linked to immunotherapy success in melanoma patients
Researchers at The George Washington University, working with Weill Cornell Medicine, have identified specific gut bacteria linked to better responses to cancer immunotherapy in patients with advanced melanoma. The study ...
Medical Xpress / Data-driven biomaterials steer pancreatic cancer organoids into new cell states
Understanding and controlling how cancer cells transition between different states remains a critical challenge in tumor biology. In a recent publication in Advanced Materials, a team from the Leibniz Institute of Polymer ...
Medical Xpress / What you eat as a teenager may shape food choices later in life
New research from the University of Aberdeen Rowett Institute suggests that an unhealthy diet during adolescence could have long-lasting effects on how the brain makes decisions about food—even after returning to a healthy ...
Medical Xpress / New marker identifies patients with advanced prostate cancer more likely to benefit from combination immunotherapy
Researchers with the James P. Allison Institute at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered a new gene expression signature within tumors that can help identify patients with metastatic castration-resistant ...
Medical Xpress / Early detection of type 1 diabetes in children is feasible from routine pediatric care
For ten years, the Fr1da study, coordinated by Helmholtz Munich, has been investigating whether early stages of type 1 diabetes in children can be detected in routine pediatric care. The latest evaluation shows that the screening ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists uncover protein that could help failing hearts
Researchers have identified a key protein that may help failing hearts regain function, offering new insight into why some hearts recover while others do not. The discovery comes from studying patients treated with left ventricular ...
Medical Xpress / Targeting inflammation may help overcome drug resistance in colon cancer
Chemotherapy drugs that target a common mutation in colorectal cancer rapidly lose efficacy in patients, leading to relapse. According to a new preclinical study by Weill Cornell Medicine and MD Anderson Cancer Center investigators, ...
Medical Xpress / Study sheds light on how early pancreas lesions become cancerous
In an unexpected finding, a new study flips on its head researchers' understanding of how precancerous pancreas lesions evolve into pancreatic cancer. The paradigm-changing discovery has tremendous implications for identifying ...
Medical Xpress / AI unlocks cardiac MRI reading without manual labels, beating general models by 35%
