by Ohio State University Medical Center Credit: CC0 Public Domain A new study of advanced small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) led by researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center—Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC—James) has identified molecular patterns linked to patients developing resistance to certain therapies. This study, published in the journal JTO...
by Bob Yirka , Medical Xpress Using a two-color viral reporter of ISR activation state, striatal CINs were distinguished from other cell types by showing steady-state ISR activation. ISR inhibition altered CIN excitability, inverted the sign of dopamine modulation of CIN firing rate and evoked dopamine release, and increased movement vigor in learned tasks. mAHP,...

Credit: UK HealthCare Marketing A new study from University of Kentucky Markey Cancer researchers shows that Artemisia annua, a plant that has been traditionally used for its anti-malaria components, shows promise in treating ovarian cancer. The study,...
The findings, published in Science Immunology, suggest only a single vaccine dose may be needed to produce a sufficient antibody response. Researchers found that those who did not have COVID-19—called COVID naïve—did not have a full immune response until after receiving their second vaccine dose, reinforcing the importance of completing the two recommended doses for achieving strong levels...
Resolving a missing link of research, Canadian researchers find significant microbiome changes in crew who spent 520 days in isolation to simulate a mission to Mars Crew members who took part in the Mars500 experiment showed significant changes in their gut microbiota from their 520 days in confinement, according to a new study by scientists...
