Boys who are overweight in their early teens risk passing on harmful epigenetic traits...
A new study suggests that boys who become overweight in their early teens risk damaging the genes of their future children, increasing their chances of developing asthma, obesity and low lung function.
Key player in childhood food allergies identified: Thetis cells
Thetis cells, a class of immune cells first described in 2022, play an essential and previously unknown role in suppressing inflammatory responses to food,...
Diagnosing Parkinson’s using a blood-based genetic signature
Researchers have identify a set of biomarkers that could someday make it easy to spot the disease in a patient's blood sample.
Novel rat model paves the way to advance COPD-associated cor pulmonale research
Researchers have developed a novel rat model that closely replicates the pathological features and physiological changes associated with human chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-associated...
New drug shows promise for treating bronchiectasis
Results of a large, global clinical trial spanning five continents with over 1,700 patients with bronchiectasis has demonstrated benefits of an investigational, once-a-day pill called brenso catib as a therapy for the chronic lung condition. It may soon become the first-ever FDA-approved treatment for bronchiectasis.
New bioactive compound for difficult-to-treat allergies
Irritable bowel syndrome, chronic itching, asthma and migraine are in many cases hard-to-treat conditions. They have in common that they are triggered by an...
Natural killer cells remember and effectively target ovarian cancer
Researchers have uncovered a unique ability of a special subtype of natural killer cells in the immune system, called adaptive NK cells, to remember ovarian tumors and effectively attack them. The discovery could pave the way for new, more powerful immunotherapies for difficult-to-treat cancers.
PEPITEM sequence shows effects in psoriasis, comparable to steroid cream
Scientists have shown that a sequence of just three amino acids may reduce the severity of psoriasis, when applied topically in an emollient cream.
Surgery doesn’t always help with chronic rhinosinusitis — a new risk score predicts treatment...
A new CT-scan based risk score facilitates the identification of patients at risk of revision endoscopic sinus surgery due to chronic rhinosinusitis.
Researchers find intestinal immune cell prevents food allergies
Researchers found that a small population of immune cells in the mouse intestine prevents allergic responses to food, suggesting that targeting such cells therapeutically...
