Exome sequencing unravels complex genetic diagnoses in growth disorders

In an article published in the Journal of Pediatrics, researchers based in Brazil describe the case of a nine-year-old boy admitted to hospital with multiple symptoms and overlapping conditions that made diagnosis difficult, such as short stature, thin tooth enamel (dental enamel hypoplasia), moderate mental deficiency, speech delay, asthma, mildly altered blood sugar, and a history of recurring […]

Hormonal steroids found to boost drug resistance in gonorrhea bacteria

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers performed cellular, biochemical, and structural analyses to assess the multiple transferable resistance repressor (MtrR) binding and activation by male and female steroidal hormones, physiologically significant molecules interacting with gonococcal organisms during infection. Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a gram-negative diplococcus that causes millions of diseases globally, including those […]

Growing meat with built-in growth factors cuts costs

Cellular agriculture – the production of meat from cells grown in bioreactors rather than harvested from farm animals – is taking leaps in technology that are making it a more viable option for the food industry. One such leap has now been made at the Tufts University Center for Cellular Agriculture (TUCCA), led by David […]

Ancient DNA traces multiple sclerosis origins to 5,000-year-old migrations

Researchers have created the world’s largest ancient human gene bank by analyzing the bones and teeth of almost 5,000 humans who lived across Western Europe and Asia up to 34,000 years ago. By sequencing ancient human DNA and comparing it to modern-day samples, the international team of experts mapped the historical spread of genes – […]

Revolutionary blood test monitors gene expression dynamics in the brain

The brain is the most protected organ in the body, sheathed in a complex and nearly impenetrable barrier of specialized blood vessels. While this particular anatomical setup protects it from outside invaders, it also makes it difficult for researchers to study how specific genes are expressed ⎯ and how such changes in gene expression may […]

Low-risk DCIS patients may safely skip radiotherapy after surgery, study finds

Patients with low-risk ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) who skipped adjuvant radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery had comparable five-year outcomes to those with high-risk DCIS who received adjuvant radiotherapy, according to results from the E4112 clinical trial presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, held December 5-9, 2023. Nearly all women with DCIS-;a noninvasive […]
