These immune CD8 T cells may provide a target for treating the buildup of fatty lesions in the arteries called atherosclerosis.
Vascular stiffening and calcification, which is accelerated by aging, affects multiple organs and plays a role in dementia. There are no treatments for vascular calcification, which makes arteries harden.
Mechanistic findings in this study may pave the way for future time-restricted feeding studies in muscle, providing a natural and affordable form of alternative therapy for managing pathologies related to metabolism and obesity.
These changes, seen in a mouse model, are a likely proteome signature for reductive stress cardiomyopathy. About one in six heart failure patients shows reductive stress, according to a 2018 clinical study.
To facilitate gene-level queries of data from more than 10,000 cancer patient transcriptome sequences and proteomics data from 2,000 patients, researchers have developed a user-friendly cancer data analysis web platform called UALCAN.

After years of researching the SON gene, Erin Eun-Young Ahn, Ph.D., may have found the cause behind an extremely rare disease. 

The drug Vismodegib, tested in a breast cancer model, is an inhibitor of hedgehog signaling, a form of cell communication manipulated by the tumor microenvironment.
Elizabeth Brown, Ph.D., has received a $3.1 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to study epigenetic contribution to the excess risk of a precursor of multiple myeloma in African Americans.
Altered epigenetic marks on ribosomal RNAs appear to create a pool of specialized ribosomes that can differentially regulate translation of specific messenger RNA.
UAB researchers have identified a subgroup of heart failure patients with reductive stress who may be less responsive or even harmed by antioxidants, which could lead to personalized treatment and better outcomes.
Mitochondrial DNA determines oxidant levels and may further explain why some people get sick and others don’t.
