Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory disease that affects approximately one in ten women of reproductive age—around 190 million worldwide—remains poorly understood from a biological perspective, which has historically hindered both its accurate diagno…

Pancreatic cancer can remain quiet for years, developing undetected before causing symptoms that lead to a diagnosis. Even after a surgeon removes a pancreas tumor, other cells often hide and erupt later. But University of Rochester Medicine researcher…

In people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the immune system shuts down the body’s ability to make the hormone insulin, responsible for regulating blood sugar and providing cells with glucose to produce energy. As a result, they are dependent on external so…

A genetic alteration that is already routinely analyzed in patients with acute myeloid leukemia can be used to identify patients who respond to a new targeted therapy, according to a study published in the journal Discover Oncology. Acute myeloid leuke…

Researchers at Mass General Brigham Heart and Vascular Institute and collaborators have developed and validated a new genetic risk test that can estimate a person’s inherited risk for eight common cardiovascular conditions, offering a more comprehensiv…

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected way cells can generate cancer-driving proteins—by cutting RNA into shorter, functional fragments rather than following the standard blueprint. This process, newly termed as «RNA dicing,» enables the production of…
