by Alan Dove, Columbia University Irving Medical Center The new model provides a unique opportunity to understand how adenosquamous tumors, which are essentially unresponsive to current treatments, arise in the pancreas. In the new study, the researchers found that Hmmr gene activity is important for the growth of ASCP tumors and could be a new therapeutic...
by Mario Boone, American Physiological Society Graphical abstract. Credit: American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology (2023). DOI: 10.1152/ajpcell.00318.2023 Menopause causes a decrease in “muscle power,” an indication of muscle function and strength. However, postmenopausal loss of muscle power can be partially prevented by using high-intensity interval training (HIIT), a form of aerobic exercise. The findings by researchers...
by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Inclusion criteria for each behavior cohort of the study (aggressive behavior—AGG; self-injurious behavior—SIB; BOTH refers to AGG and SIB). A formal ASD diagnosis upon entry to the center excluded the most individuals, while time periods with little data also excluded a high number of individuals. Allowing either behavior provided more data for...
