Future heart attacks could be better prevented in people visiting their GP with unexplained chest pain. It is estimated that at least one million adults in the UK seek medical attention because of chest pain every year. Despite undergoing tests, the cause remains a mystery for many individuals, leaving them without a clear diagnosis. Research
In a groundbreaking study conducted by a team of researchers led by Professor Josep Suñé-Suso from Keele University, a new method for identifying single cancer cells in blood samples has been discovered. This groundbreaking discovery has the potential to revolutionize cancer treatment by allowing for more personalized and targeted therapies for patients. The team of
The Synapse Diversity and Specificity Regulation Research Team at DGIST has made a groundbreaking discovery in profiling the molecular code that makes up brain neural circuits. Through their research, they have identified how this code regulates specific excitatory synapse traits that play a crucial role in memory formation, particularly in remembering new object locations. This
In the battle against cancer, researchers worldwide are constantly seeking new ways to understand the complexities of the human immune system. A team of scientists from Arizona State University has taken a groundbreaking step by developing an AI-based learning tool named HLA Inception. This innovative tool has provided fresh insights into how an individual’s immune
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has recently introduced an artificial intelligence application called GPT4DFCI. This system has been designed for use in various aspects of a medical center or hospital, including operations, administration, and research. However, it is important to note that GPT4DFCI is not authorized for direct clinical care. The application operates within the digital confines
Cerebral palsy (CP) has long been attributed to environmental factors during birth, such as infections, injuries, or lack of oxygen. However, a recent Canadian-led study has shed light on the genetic contributors to CP. Through whole-genome sequencing of 327 children with CP, researchers identified genetic variants in 11.3 percent of the cases, with an additional
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a pediatric cancer with stagnant survival rates, prompting researchers to investigate new risk factors for improved risk stratification. A recent study led by Baylor College of Medicine explores the association between germline cancer-predisposition variants (CPVs) and outcomes in children with rhabdomyosarcoma. The researchers analyzed data from 580 children with rhabdomyosarcoma and observed a
Follicular lymphoma, the second most common type of lymphoma in the United States, presents as a slow-growing cancer that can sometimes progress into a more aggressive form. The reasons for this transformation have remained largely unknown, making it challenging to predict which patients are at risk of rapid progression. Therefore, there is a critical need
In a groundbreaking study conducted by scientists from the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), 11 diverse polygenic longevity scores (PLS) have been formulated using data from four studies that link genetic variants to lifespan. These scores have the remarkable ability to not only predict long life but also denote resistance to certain age-related ailments including
The correlation between a mother’s diet during pregnancy and the development of her offspring has always been a topic of interest among researchers. An international team of researchers recently conducted a study that explores how the amount of protein consumed by pregnant women can affect the facial development of their unborn children. This study sheds
