Alzheimer’s patients exhibit changes in certain blood lipids typical of premature ageing
Research at MedUni Vienna’s Centre for Brain Research has investigated changes in certain lipids (choline phospholipids) in the plasma of elderly people who were healthy and those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
Researchers identify compound to prevent breast cancer cells from activating in brain
Researchers have used computer modelling to find an existing investigational drug compound for leukaemia patients to treat triple negative breast cancer...
Bacteria strains are shown to support tumour growth in pancreatic cancer
Scientists in the U.S. have discovered that the gut microbiome is altered in individuals with pancreatic cancer, and that the removal of certain bacterial strains slows cancer progression.
Scientists identify genes that could develop therapies for EBV-related cancers
Researchers have identified two genes that are responsible for governing the replication of the Epstein-Barr virus, an infection that drives the growth of several types of cancer...
MVP found to be consequential in 16p11.2 deletion syndrome

Scientists discover new causes of cellular decline in prematurely aging children
Researchers have uncovered new answers about why cells rapidly age in children with the rare and fatal disease, Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS).
Researchers discover switch that converts blood vessels to blood stem cells
A team of scientists in the UK and Italy has discovered a switch that instructs blood vessel cells to become blood stem cells during embryonic development in mice. These findings could aid research into new blood cell creation for transplants.
