More time with loved ones for cancer patients spared radiation treatment
2025-06-20
For many patients, radioactive iodine treatment after thyroid cancer surgery means side effects like nausea and time in hospital isolated from loved ones. But new clinical trial results from researchers at UCL mean hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide could now safely be spared this treatment.
Globally, around 820,000 people are diagnosed with thyroid cancer each year. Compared to most cancers, it affects a high proportion of younger people who are more likely to be parents to young children. It is also three times more common in women than men.
The Iodine or Not (IoN) clinical ...
New methods speed diagnosis of rare genetic disease
2025-06-20
NEW YORK, NY (June 20, 2025)—A new laboratory method developed by researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons may now help physicians more quickly diagnose patients with suspected genetic disorders of the immune system, many who have been trapped in diagnostic limbo for years.
The researchers, who published their findings June 20 in Cell, applied the method to one rare inborn error of immunity called activated-PI3Kδ syndrome (APDS) and found dozens of additional genetic variations that could cause the syndrome.
“Our findings give physicians a resource that can help them rapidly diagnose and treat ...
Genetics of cardiomyopathy risk in cancer survivors differ by age of onset
2025-06-20
(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – June 20, 2025) The relationship between genetic variants and the risk of late-onset cardiomyopathy remains poorly understood in survivors of childhood cancer despite being otherwise well established. Scientists from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have helped address this gap, assessing whether variant trends seen in the general population also apply to late-onset cardiomyopathy in five-year survivors of childhood cancer. The work revealed that, as in the general population, common variants in TTNand BAG3 are associated with reduced late-onset cardiomyopathy ...
Autism inpatient collection releases genetic, phenotypic data for more than 1,500 children with autism
2025-06-20
The Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) has released phenotypic and genetic data from the Autism Inpatient Collection (AIC), a cohort of more than 1,500 youth participants ages 4 to 20 years old who were hospitalized in one of six child psychiatry units in the United States. The AIC, supported by SFARI and the Nancy Lurie Marks Family Foundation, aimed to engage these individuals, many of whom meet recently proposed criteria for ‘profound autism’ (autism characterized by intellectual disability or minimal language that requires high ...
Targeting fusion protein’s role in childhood leukemia produces striking results
2025-06-20
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute today report the identification of a novel combination therapy approach to treat pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Standard treatment is often ineffective against AML, a cancer that commonly relapses with poor prognosis, particularly when the disease is fueled by fusion proteins involving NUP98. The researchers documented how these fusions drive disease, discovering a protein complex required to express cancer-promoting genes. When they targeted the complex alone or in combination with another anticancer drug, survival significantly ...
Clear understanding of social connections propels strivers up the social ladder
2025-06-20
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Climbing the social ladder isn’t simply a matter of popularity. Rather, people in positions of influence are particularly adept at forming “maps” of their social connections, which they navigate to become prominent in their social network, new research shows.
It’s like having a “social superpower,” according to study author Oriel FeldmanHall, an associate professor of cognitive and psychological sciences at Brown University who is affiliated with the University’s Carney Institute for Brain Science.
“People vary ...
New research reveals why acute and chronic pain are so different – and what might make pain last
2025-06-20
A new study reveals that when we experience short-term (acute) pain, the brain has a built-in way to dial down pain signals — like pressing the brakes — to keep them from going into overdrive. But in long-term (chronic) pain, this braking system fails, and the pain signals just keep firing. This discovery helps explain why some pain goes away while other pain lingers, and it opens the door to new treatments that could stop pain from becoming chronic in the first place.
Why does some pain go away ...
Stable cooling fostered life, rapid warming brought death: scientists use high-resolution fusuline data reveal evolutionary responses to cooling and warming
2025-06-20
The Earth is rapidly warming — but did you know? Similar climate upheavals over 300 million years ago once triggered massive fluctuations in marine life.
Recently, a research team led by Prof. Shuzhong Shen of Nanjing University published a major finding in Science Advances, revealing for the first time — through high-precision big data — that during the Late Paleozoic (approximately 340 to 250 million years ago), global cooling promoted rapid evolution and diversification of marine life, while abrupt warming, especially that induced by volcanic eruptions, led to mass extinctions.
The focus of the study is an ancient group of single-celled marine organisms ...
New research casts doubt on ancient drying of northern Africa’s climate
2025-06-20
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — A study led by researchers from Brown University finds that rainfall patterns across northern Africa remained largely stable between 3.5 and 2.5 million years ago — a pivotal period in Earth’s climate history when the Northern Hemisphere cooled, and places like Greenland became permanently glaciated.
The new findings, published in Science Advances, challenge long-held interpretations of the climate history of northern Africa, which had suggested that the region dried out considerably during this period. The timing coincides with the appearance of the first known member of the genus Homo in the fossil record, leading ...
Study identifies umbilical cord blood biomarkers of early onset sepsis in preterm newborns
2025-06-20
Scientists from Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and colleagues identified several proteins from the umbilical cord blood of preterm newborns that signal acute systemic inflammation as an immune response to infection, providing objective and noninvasive means to diagnose early onset sepsis. This finding could spare infants from prolonged exposure to unnecessary antibiotics, which leaves them at risk for subsequent serious infections and dysregulation ...
