Researchers identify immune dysfunction as a possible aspect of polycystic ovary syndrome pathology
A new study shows that hyperandrogenism—a key characteristic of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)—affects immune cell populations in reproductive, metabolic and immunological tissues in a PCOS-like mouse model.
Study finds feeding infants peanut products protects against allergy into adolescence
Feeding children peanuts regularly from infancy to age five reduced the rate of peanut allergy in adolescence by 71%, even after many years when the children ate or avoided peanut as desired.
Study examines metabolic reprogramming of breast cancer tumors during neoadjuvant chemotherapy
In a study published in Nature Communications, scientists have made significant strides in understanding the complex interplay between the immune system and cancer metabolism in breast cancer treatment. The research offers new insights into how the imm…
New technique detects novel biomarkers for kidney diseases with nephrotic syndrome
A study, presented at the 61st ERA Congress, has uncovered a significant breakthrough in the diagnosis and monitoring of kidney diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome. The study is also published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Genetic cause of rare childhood immune disorders discovered
Scientists have pinpointed genetic changes that can leave children born with little to no immune defense against infection.
Understanding a broken heart—study finds link between stress and recurrent heart failure
The stress of heart failure is remembered by the body and appears to lead to recurrent failure, along with other related health issues, according to new research. Researchers have found that heart failure leaves a “stress memory” in the form of changes…
