Classifying pediatric brain tumors by liquid biopsy using artificial intelligence
Liquid biopsies, which test body fluids that contain cancerous material, including circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), are a noninvasive way to learn about a cancer’s biology.
New dual-action compound reduces pancreatic cancer cell growth
“Our data demonstrates that SB-216 effectively inhibits PDAC cell growth through inhibiting oncogenic microtubules and mitochondrial function”
To ensure success, consumers’ nutrition literacy levels should factor into fda’s new front-of-package labeling
As the FDA moves to finalize a rule requiring front-of-package (FOP) nutrition labels on most packaged foods and beverages in the US, new research suggests that while the proposed “Nutrition Info Box,” showing levels of saturated fat, sodium, and added sugar, was found to work best for consumers who had higher nutrition literacy, it may… Read More

Study: A genetic variant may be the reason why some children with myocarditis develop heart failure, which could be fatal
The findings strongly suggest that genetic testing should be done on all children with heart failure and myocarditis
UT Health Science Center researchers use ‘brain-on-a-chip’ to revolutionize fight against deadly encephalitis viruses
A transparent chip no larger than a stick of gum is helping scientists at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, an R1 research institution, transform the way researchers study the human brain and develop treatments for some of the world’s deadliest viruses.
Approach to combat antibiotic resistance turns bacterium’s genes against it
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have found a way to use a bacterium’s own drug resistance mechanisms against itself, presenting a potentially safer and more effective way to treat certain antibiotic-resistant infections.
