Keeping you up to date on recent developments in cardiology, including: Genetic testing for heart diseases could help identify risks; New option for monitoring heart health; Scorpions eyed for heart attacks.
Cancer treatment has been transformed, at its root, by a transformational change in how it is classified. Those successes have not escaped the notice of researchers in other areas of biomedicine, and diseases including heart failure, asthma and polycystic ovarian syndrome are being looked at with an eye to subdividing them in ways that brings diagnostics into the molecular era.
Keeping you up to date on recent developments in neurology, including: Novel drug delivery particles use neurotransmitters as a 'passport' into the brain; SARS-CoV-2 infection of non-neuronal cells, not neurons, may drive loss of smell in patients with COVID-19; Pandemic to accelerate adoption of electronic patient portal for epilepsy.
BioWorld looks at translational medicine, including: Structural study gives insight into plaque formation; Studying labor identifies new pain mechanism; AHR inhibition suppresses Zika infection; iPSCs find best therapy for Best disease.
Keeping you up to date on recent developments in diagnostics, including: Scaling patient stratification in EHRs using deep learning; Improving prognosis of pancreatic cancer; Mitochondria, interneurons, cognition link explored.
Cancer treatment has been transformed, at its root, by a transformational change in how it is classified. These days, which organ a tumor arises in is often less important than its molecular drivers, which can be sensitive either to specific targeted treatments, or increase the chance that a tumor will respond to immunotherapy. Those successes have not escaped the notice of researchers in other areas of biomedicine, and diseases including heart failure, asthma and polycystic ovarian syndrome are being looked at with an eye to subdividing them in ways that brings diagnostics into the molecular era. Nowhere do those changes have greater potential than in disorders of the brain – in part because there is nowhere much to go but up as far as classifying neurological diseases goes.
