Gene therapy has emerged as a promising frontier for treating a range of genetic disorders, but effectively delivering therapeutic genes to the kidneys remains a significant challenge. Researchers at the Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine have been delving into the complex domain
Recent groundbreaking research on genetic mutations in esophageal cancer has revealed surprising insights into the role of the CDKN2A gene. Traditionally seen as a driver of cancer development, this gene might also play a protective role in the early stages of esophageal cancer. This discovery
A significant breakthrough by researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Heidelberg Stem Cell Institute (HI-STEM), and NCT Heidelberg in addressing breast cancer metastasis has the potential to revolutionize treatment approaches. Metastases to vital organs like the liver, lungs, or
Psoriasis, often misunderstood as merely a skin condition, is a complex immune-mediated disease impacting around 125 million individuals globally. This systemic condition demands comprehensive treatment strategies that go beyond addressing superficial skin symptoms. Dr. Graham Heap, Vice President
Recent advancements in genomic analysis have demonstrated significant potential to improve outcomes for patients across a wide spectrum of cancer types. A large-scale study conducted by researchers from Genentech and Stanford University analyzed nearly 80,000 U.S. cancer patients to uncover 776
The notable effectiveness of clozapine in treating schizophrenia has placed it as the sole FDA-approved option for patients resistant to other treatments. However, despite its advantages, concerns have lingered due to studies suggesting a potential association between clozapine use and an increased
