For college athletes with concussion, brain changes may remain visible in brain scans up to a year after they are cleared to return to play, according to a study published online in Neurology.

New test identifies high-risk childhood brain tumors, improving treatment decisions

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

Canadian researchers have developed an effective new technique for identifying aggressive medulloblastoma—the most common type of malignant brain tumor in children—and potentially sparing young patients from unnecessary treatments and their harmful long-term side effects.

Cannabis terpenes offer potential new way to treat fibromyalgia pain

Terpenes from the Cannabis sativa plant may be a viable medication for fibromyalgia and post-surgical pain relief, according to University of Arizona Health Sciences research published in Pharmacological Reports.

Secret boss of the liver: Star-shaped cells that promote fibrosis also regulate liver health

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

Researchers from Columbia University and the German Cancer Center have found that stellate cells—star-shaped liver cells long known as the main perpetrators of liver fibrosis—have a commanding role in protecting and sustaining the liver’s organization and function before they go rogue and cause liver damage.

Managing your diabetes can help prevent associated vision loss

Diabetes affects more than 1 in 10 adults worldwide and has been accompanied by an increase in vision-threatening diabetic retinal disease (DRD).

Specialized blood vessels and nitric oxide found to be key to stem cell survival and immune evasion

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

An international group of researchers has identified an important mechanism that enables stem cells to evade immune rejection. Their research, published in Nature, sheds light on how these specialized cells create an “immune-privileged” environment—areas in the body where stem cells survive and function without being attacked by the immune system. The team was led by Kazuhiro Furuhashi (Nagoya University and Columbia University) and Joji Fujisaki (Harvard University and Columbia University).

Molecular differences in pancreatic cancer of Black and white patients identified

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

Researchers have discovered race-associated molecular differences in tumors that may impact the way patients with pancreatic cancer respond to immunotherapies. The findings, which were recently published in the journal Cancer Research Communications, reinforce the need to include racially diverse participants in clinical studies.

Novel radiotracer identifies biomarker for triple-negative breast cancer

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

A new PET radiotracer can effectively visualize Nectin-4, an emerging biomarker found in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). According to research published in the March issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, the PET tracer has the potential to play a critical role in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of this aggressive disease, improving clinical outcomes for patients.

Monoclonal antibody significantly reduces nasal polyps and need for surgery in Phase 3 clinical trial

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps presents a substantial clinical burden, affecting nasal airflow, olfactory function, and quality of life. Epithelial barrier dysfunction and type 2 inflammatory responses drive disease progression. Treatments such as intranasal glucocorticoids and sinus surgery provide limited long-term relief and fail to address the underlying inflammatory mechanisms.

A premotor cortical network in the brain allows people to voluntarily stop speaking, study suggests

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

Speech is a unique human ability that is known to be supported by various motor and cognitive processes. When humans start speaking, they can decide to cease at any point; for instance, if they are interrupted by something happening or by another person speaking to them.
