| Researchers develop novel strategy for tuberculosis vaccine Posted: 21 Aug 2021 08:38 AM PDT Innovators have created a novel strategy for developing an effective vaccine for a widespread form of tuberculosis. |
| PULSAR-integrated radiotherapy with immunotherapy for improved tumor control Posted: 21 Aug 2021 08:38 AM PDT Cancer physicians are pioneering a new PULSAR radiation-therapy strategy that improves tumor control compared with traditional daily therapy. |
| Using artificial intelligence for early detection and treatment of illnesses Posted: 20 Aug 2021 10:53 AM PDT Artificial intelligence (AI) will fundamentally change medicine and healthcare: Diagnostic patient data, e.g. from ECG, EEG or X-ray images, can be analyzed with the help of machine learning, so that diseases can be detected at a very early stage based on subtle changes. However, implanting AI within the human body is still a major technical challenge. Scientists have now succeeded in developing a bio-compatible implantable AI platform that classifies in real time healthy and pathological patterns in biological signals such as heartbeats. It detects pathological changes even without medical supervision. |
| Distress signal from fat cells prompts heart to shore up defenses against consequences of obesity Posted: 20 Aug 2021 10:53 AM PDT A stress signal received by the heart from fat could help protect against cardiac damage induced by obesity, a new study suggests. The finding could help explain the 'obesity paradox,' a phenomenon in which obese individuals have better short- and medium-term cardiovascular disease prognoses compared with those who are lean, but with ultimately worse long-term outcomes. |
| New insights on mechanism that could help treat muscle-related diseases Posted: 19 Aug 2021 04:51 PM PDT Expression of the MyoD gene combined with exposure to three chemicals causes skin cells to become primitive muscle progenitors that can be maintained indefinitely in the lab and later coaxed into becoming mature muscle cells to treat muscle-related diseases. Skin-derived muscle progenitors are molecularly similar to muscle tissue stem cells, and muscle cells derived from these progenitors are more stable and mature than muscle cells directly converted from skin cells. |
