Researchers have identified a combination treatment that could potentially benefit T-ALL patients that do not respond to standard chemotherapy.

Small changes in the structure of DNA have been implicated in breast cancer and other diseases, but they've been extremely difficult to detect -- until now.

Researchers have identified how natural human antibodies can block malaria parasites from entering red blood cells, potentially indicating how new protective therapies could be developed against this globally significant disease.

A new study is drawing the most detailed picture yet of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the lung, revealing mechanisms that result in lethal COVID-19, and may explain long-term complications and show how COVID-19 differs from other infectious diseases.

A team of researchers has developed a new algorithm for the diagnostics of dementia. The new approach is based on the measurement of blood and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers.

The composition of a newborn’s first stool can reveal whether they are likely to develop allergies within their first year of life, according to a new study, published in Cell Reports Medicine.

Researchers have focused on a specific type of chemical modification – called methylation – of mRNA molecules in the small worm Caenorhabditis elegans. They found that methylation on a particular sequence of an mRNA leads to its degradation and that this control mechanism depends on the worm’s diet.

A compound in avocados may ultimately offer a route to better leukemia treatment, says a new University of Guelph study.

The resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapy is marked by specific changes in certain proteins. Researchers have discovered one such altered protein "DUSP16" plays an important role in response to chemotherapeutic drugs and thus propose that it could be used as a biomarker for sensitivity to chemotherapy treatment.

Researchers have developed a urine test for prostate cancer, called "ExoGrail", which also shows how aggressive the disease is.
