A research team from Kyushu University in Japan has recently discovered a calcium-based mechanism that plays a key role in the disposal of dead cells, shedding light on how our bodies protect themselves from injury and disease.
Feb. 11, 2021 A new largescale genetic analysis has found biological mechanisms that contribute to making people more susceptible to muscle weakness in later life, finding that diseases such as osteoarthritis and ...
Dr. Ken Iida and Specially Appointed Professor Yusuke Hashimoto's team at Osaka Metropolitan University's Graduate School of Medicine analyzed the incidence of post-surgery osteochondritis dissecans.
Then, when we added loss of the p53 oncogene, the mice developed bona fide invasive prostate cancer," said senior author Arul M. Chinnaiyan, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Michigan Center for Translational Pathology and S.P.
Over the last 20 years, researchers have tried to eliminate ethnic and racial inequities in the renal transplantation care continuum, including addressing gaps in knowledge and introducing the 2014 Kidney Allocation System.
"When we started out, we thought that we might see a delayed effect of tropical cyclones on mortality maybe for six months or a year, similar to heat waves," said Young, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California Berkeley, where she began working on the study as a master's student in Hsiang's lab before he joined Stanford's faculty in July 2024.
Now a new study shows how low levels of antibodies to the fatty substance phosphorylcholine, called anti-PC, may be a new independent risk marker for cardiovascular disease in older women.
Researchers previously found loss of the CDK12 gene in about 7% of patients with metastatic prostate cancer, suggesting this alteration may be linked to a more-aggressive form of the disease.
These factors not only increase the risk for cardiovascular disease but also for back pain," says Doctoral Researcher and Physiotherapist Jooa Norha from the University of Turku in Finland.
The study examined SARS-CoV-2 spike antigen-specific antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) in several bone marrow compartments in a cohort of 19 individuals up to three years following COVID-19 mRNA vaccination.
New York City plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer, who augments penises with filler that have “an antidote to ‘melt’ the product if needed,” said he has performed more than 7,000 girth-enhancing procedures in the last seven years, mostly without a hitch.
"More research is needed to explore the reasons behind these associations in order to improve current and future vaccination strategies and ultimately ensure equitable protection against infectious diseases," says Mary Barker.
