Women in science get less credit for their contributions than men
Female scientists are less likely than their male counterparts to receive credit for their work on science research projects, according to a new study that for first time used a large set of data from universities showing exactly who was involved with the projects and got paid. Read More
Study shows breast cancer metastases form more efficiently during sleep
A new study by researchers at ETH Zurich, the University Hospital Basel, and the University of Basel shows that breast cancer metastases form more efficiently while patients are sleeping. Read More
Tuft cell discovery could lead to new way to treat deadly form of small cell lung cancer
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory researchers have discovered how tuft cells are generated in the body, offering hope that disrupting tuft cell development could lead to a new way to treat this deadly type of small cell lung cancer. Read More
Molecular 'zipper' causes degeneration of the eye’s photoreceptors
A research team from the University of Geneva, in collaboration with the University of Lausanne, has discovered that the absence of a molecular “zipper” formed by four proteins leads to cell death in retinal cells. The discovery of the essential role played by the zipper could lead to the development of therapeutic approaches for retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative genetic eye disease. Read More
Scientists discover novel mechanism by which neurons, glia collaborate
Champalimaud Foundation scientists have discovered a novel mechanism by which neurons and glia collaborate to drive neural regeneration following brain injury. Their findings may help develop drugs to promote the formation of new neurons following brain damage. Read More
Researchers identify a key enzyme in synthesis of new class of lipids
Endocrinologists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center have identified a key enzyme in producing a new class of lipids with beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control in humans and mice that could result in new treatments for type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Read More
Scientists help steer toward more promising approaches for FOP
University of Connecticut and Alexion Pharmaceuticals researchers investigating a potential cure for fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) instead found a concerning surprise -- blocking the protein responsible for the disease with a monoclonal antibody made the abnormal bone growth worse in mice.

Researchers discover new effective drug combination for pediatric T-acute leukemia
A joint study by Tampere University’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute discovered a new combination of drugs that is effective against T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, an aggressive malignant neoplasm of the bone marrow. Read More
Genetic discovery supports theory that MNDs are caused by abnormal lipid processing
A genetic discovery by a University of Exeter research team supports the theory that degenerative motor neuron diseases (MNDs) are caused by abnormal lipid processing pathways inside braincells, which could help pave the way for new diagnostic approaches and treatments for this group of conditions.
