Researchers from Landeskrankenhaus Salzburg (SALK) - Universitätsklinikum der PMU have identified a novel loss-of-function variant in the NDUFA7 gene in a patient with Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON).
The export of RNA from the cell nucleus is a key mechanism in the cell and during developmental stages. The pathway involving NTF2-related export protein 1 (NXT1) and nuclear RNA export factor 1 (NXF1) mediates bulk polyA mRNA through the nuclear pores.
Concurrent infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis delta virus (HDV) may lead to cirrhosis, fulminant hepatitis or hepatocellular carcinoma faster than infection with HBV alone.
The persistence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) covalently closed-circular DNA (cccDNA) and integration of HBV DNA into the hepatocytes lead to chronic HBV infection. Current therapies achieve long-term viral suppression but, as HBV cccDNA is not eradicated, lifelong treatment is needed.
While there was much talk about the vast potential of artificial intelligence (AI) during one of the world’s largest research cancer conferences, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) continued to grab the lion’s share of attention as Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc. and Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. released new and positive data.
One in every 500 newborns worldwide are affected by nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL). Whole-exome sequencing may help in identifying the genetic cause of NSHL.
Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC) presented data from a study that aimed to assess the role of trophoblast cell-surface antigen-2 (TROP-2) in penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC).
Astrazeneca plc’s blockbuster Enhertu continued to garner attention as new data released at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting show the antibody-drug conjugate demonstrated strong progression-free survival in metastatic breast cancer patients. Puma Biotechnology Inc. had advances of its own at ASCO with new biomarker findings from a phase II study of alisertib, an aurora protein kinase 2 inhibitor, in endocrine-resistant metastatic breast cancer.
