Medical Xpress / Wearable devices may help detect cytokine release syndrome earlier in patients receiving CAR-T therapy
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have found that wearable devices may help clinicians detect cytokine release syndrome (CRS)—a common and potentially serious side effect of CAR-T cell therapy—hours ...
Medical Xpress / Lab-grown neurofibromatosis 1 tumors reveal how benign growths turn malignant
A research team from the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) has developed a new experimental model based on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that makes it possible to reproduce in the laboratory the progression ...
Medical Xpress / AI-based tissue anomaly detection may reduce duration of liver cancer surgery
A liver cancer diagnosis frequently leads to surgery, with the goal of completely removing all malignant tissue. To ensure that no tumor remains in the organ, the resected tissue is subjected to frozen-section analysis during ...
Medical Xpress / RNA biomarkers identified that could offer a simple blood test for earlier Alzheimer's diagnosis
Mount Sinai researchers have discovered blood RNA biomarkers that offer a promising, minimally invasive approach for earlier diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, according to findings published in Nature Communications.
Medical Xpress / Colon cancer cells may change identity to metastasize
Loss of GATA6—a transcription factor that controls which genes are turned on or off—can reprogram colorectal cancer cells into more primitive, adaptable states that can then spread to the liver and establish new tumors, according ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop new 'emotionally aware' model for classifying mental health conditions
Researchers have developed a new "emotionally aware" AI-based model for classifying mental health conditions, which could help clinicians better diagnose patients' mental health conditions. The Emo-MHC model uses machine ...
Medical Xpress / Study challenges assumption about brain activity in tremors
A new finding by a Virginia Tech neuroscientist at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC is challenging the way investigators study chronic neurological disorders such as dystonia, ataxia and tremor.
Medical Xpress / More than 600 schizophrenia-associated genes uncovered by network model
Schizophrenia is more complicated than ever imagined. Advanced gene network analysis reveals how distant genetic variants work together to influence brain function and mental health. Scientists have long known that schizophrenia ...
Medical Xpress / Clues to psilocybin's epigenetic effects on people with alcohol use disorder
Some psychedelics, psychoactive substances that alter people's mood, perceptions and mental processes, were recently found to be promising alternative treatments for some mental health disorders. The substance that has attracted ...
Medical Xpress / Single amino acid change may help viruses jump from bat to human
Most pandemics start when a pathogen spreads from animals to humans. It's a leading explanation for the COVID-19 pandemic: The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, is a cousin of coronaviruses that live in bats.
Medical Xpress / Smoking restrictions gain support across all 50 states over 30 years
A recent study from researchers at the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science at the University of California San Diego developed and validated a new way to measure changing social norms around ...
Medical Xpress / CT tissue images can now be virtually stained in 3D
Rudolf Virchow fundamentally changed medicine when he formulated his cell theory of disease in the 19th century: Diseases do not arise inexplicably within the organism, but rather in specific cells and tissues. To this day, ...
