New Genetic Risk Factor Identified for Anxiety Disorders
Several newly discovered variants of the GLRB gene were associated with increased risk of developing anxiety disorders, including agoraphobic cognitions, increased startle response, and fear network activation, pointing to a potential neurogenetic pathway. More...11 Apr 2017
Targeted Microbubbles Enhance Ultrasound Detection of Malignant Tumors
By combining standard ultrasound technology with a novel type of targeted microbubbles, cancer researchers have developed a sensitive method for detecting malignant tumors that could reduce the number of biopsies needed to differentiate them from benign growths. More...11 Apr 2017
Mutations Linked to Improved Survival of Patients with HPV+ Carcinoma
Cancer researchers analyzed head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) data from The Cancer Genome Atlas to identify molecular characteristics of human papillomavirus (HPV)+ HNSCC and correlated them with patient outcomes. More...11 Apr 2017
Cancer Study Reveals Insights to Causes and Inherited Risk
In a largest-to-date genomics study of brain cancer, researchers have uncovered treasure trove of information about genetics underlying the most common form of brain cancer – glioma. They were able to identify mutations that increase susceptibility, and assess more specific associations with developing one or the other of the two main glioma subtypes. More...04 Apr 2017
Gene Discovered Associated with Aging Brain Pathologies
Investigators have discovered a gene associated with susceptibility to the common Tau form of brain pathology that accumulates in several different conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, certain forms of dementia, and Parkinsonian syndromes, as well as chronic traumatic encephalopathy that occurs with repeated head injuries. The gene and its product may serve as a marker for loss of brain function with advancing age, and as a potential drug therapy target. More...04 Apr 2017
