Two Different Mutations Identified as Cause of AML
Two very different mutations have been identified as unexpected partners in crime for causing the blood cancer acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Expert analysis helped reveal how this deadly duo is far more common in AML than thought. More...15 Oct 2019
Breath Analysis May Replace Blood Sampling to Monitor Drug Usage
A simple and non-invasive technique to collect exhaled breath condensate (EBC) from chronic pain patients was developed, and its usefulness was confirmed by comparing metabolites in breath and blood samples following use of different analgesic opioid drugs. More...14 Oct 2019
Stunted Microbiota and Opportunistic Pathogen Colonize C-Section Birth
Immediately after birth, newborn babies experience rapid colonization by microorganisms from their mothers and the surrounding environment. Infants born by Caesarean section have gut microbiomes that differ from those of infants born vaginally, carrying more hospital-associated opportunistic pathogens. More...10 Oct 2019
Parkinson’s Gene Mutation Linked to Higher Risk of Leukemia
Parkinson's disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. Symptoms start gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. Tremors are common, but the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement. More...10 Oct 2019
Molecular Changes Associated with Treating Lymphatic Filariasis
Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a disabling neglected tropical disease that is caused by the mosquito-borne filarial parasites Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and B. timori. Adult worms live in the human host’s lymphatic system and release larval parasites (microfilariae or Mf) that circulate in the blood. More...09 Oct 2019
Some High-Cholesterol Genes Differ Between Countries
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been very successful in identifying genetic variants linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and to cardiometabolic traits. Due to the improving predictive accuracy of these variants, genetic risk prediction could soon be implemented in clinical settings. More...09 Oct 2019
