Researchers have discovered how a malfunction in the way specific proteins are transported within the brain after a stroke can lead to swelling, which can cause severe damage.

If the world is using more and more data, then it must be using more and more energy, right? Not so, says a comprehensive new analysis.

A new compound has the potential to bind to DNA and activate genes, which could lead to new treatments for cancers and hereditary diseases.

Researchers discover that cells can both survive and multiply under more stress than previously thought. This new knowledge gives researchers new insights into DNA replication and may potentially be used for a new type of cancer treatment.

Doctors used to stop patients with drug-induced liver injury from taking all their medications until the liver recovered, but this could be dangerous. Now, researchers report that people with diabetes, hypertension and depression might be able to continue taking life saving medications even while they heal from drug-induced liver injuries.

Although the imaging features of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are variable and nonspecific, findings reported thus far show that there is “significant overlap” with those of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).

Developing new drugs and vaccines to treat the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 can take years. Existing drugs may offer a possible quick response to the potential pandemic.

A targeted therapy drug already used for breast and kidney cancers may also extend progression-free survival of patients with advanced head and neck cancer who are at high risk for recurrence after standard treatment.

CDK4/6 inhibitors are effective in certain types of cancer but they cannot be used together with chemotherapy. Now researchers have changed their approach to using CDK4/6 inhibitors – by administering them after chemotherapy. This strategy prevents tumor cells of pancreatic adenocarcinoma from recovering from the damage caused by chemotherapy.

Researchers have discovered a critical role for a protein (Caspase-11), which had previously never been implicated in asthma.
