According to new research from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, stress promotes immune cell interactions with the brain to control social behavior through a circulating myeloid cell-specific proteinase. In the serum of humans with major depressive disorder (MDD) and stress-susceptible mice subjected to chronic stress, the researchers identified increases in a specific …
Researchers at City of Hope, and at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), have developed and tested a machine-learning approach that they suggest could one day enable earlier blood-based detection of cancer in patients, using only small blood draws. The technology is based on an algorithm called Alu Profile Learning Using Sequencing (A-PLUS), which the …
In healthy cells, the protein MYC helps guide the process of transcription, in which genetic information is converted from DNA into RNA and, eventually, into proteins. However, the shapeless protein is responsible for making the majority of human cancer cases worse. Finding a way to control MYC is challenging because unlike most other proteins, MYC …
