Scientists at Case Western Reserve University have come up with a unique approach to determine the prognosis of glioblastoma using two types of analysis: computer imaging analysis and genomic research. As described in AAAS, combining these two methods can not only determine the life expectancy of the patient, but can also identify which patients could
As the world grapples with the continuously growing number of people being infected with SARS-CoV-2, researchers have been working tirelessly to find a potential treatment or cure for Covid-19 and the health care professionals are on the frontlines taking care of those currently affected by the virus. There are now more than 400,000 confirmed cases
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are looking into a new strategy to help broken bones heal faster in patients with diabetes. This population is at a higher risk for bone fracture and their bones take longer to heal than normal. The results of this study published in Biomaterials propose an affordable oral therapy grown
As COVID-19 continues to spread, research publications are being shared every day announcing advances toward developing a cure or preventing the spread of the virus. This study published in Cell from the German Primate Center looks at how the virus enters the cells and how this process can be blocked. Coronavirus Several coronaviruses are in
The Boston Women’s Workforce Council is a partnership between Mayor Walsh’s office in the City of Boston and companies in Boston committed to closing gender gaps in the workforce. The BWWC has three main goals: Close the gender-based pay gaps Remove the visible and invisible barriers to women’s advancement Ensure that 100% of the talent
A research study published in Cell Reports by a team at Duke University has uncovered a new function of the gene called huntingtin. A mutation in huntingtin underlines the neurodegenerative disorder known as Huntington’s Disease. A New Look at Huntingtin In this study, the researchers used a mouse model to study the striatum, a brain
Kerafast is taking great steps to become more environmentally responsible. Our most recent initiative has been to implement eco-friendly packaging. Our new Coldkeepers packaging consists of cotton fiber insulation that is wrapped in a white poly film. Both components can be easily separated by the end user for proper recycling. This new packaging is much
Age is more than your appearance or number of birthdays, it’s your physiological clock that can tell you about your health. Scientists at Stanford University School of Medicine are giving us a look at our internal age by looking at the levels of 373 different proteins in our blood. As reported in Nature Medicine, the
Scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute have made meaningful discoveries about Wilms’ tumor, a form of kidney cancer that mainly affects children under the age of five. The study compared the genome sequences of normal kidney tissue to tumor tissue and located a patch of tissue carrying the DNA sequences causing Wilms’ tumor. The researchers
A new study published in Nature Medicine discusses a new class of drugs discovered to fight leukemia and lymphoma. Researches from UT Health San Antonio and University of Florida have been working to develop a new generation of drugs for adults and children. Targeting BCL-XL The new class of drugs, called PROTACs, work by targeting
