  • Malfunctions in mitochondria influence skeletal aging

    Malfunctions in mitochondria influence skeletal aging

    An interdisciplinary research team led by Professor Dr Bent Brachvogel has examined how mitochondria influence the premature ageing of the skeleton. Mitochondria are also referred to as the ‘powerhouses of the cells’ and they play a key role in the production of energy by way of cellular respiration. Researchers have discovered that a development-dependent, premature impairment of mitochondrial respiration is responsible for speeding up the process of skeletal ageing. The study was published…

    Prostate cancer discovery opens door to more tailored treatments

    Prostate cancer has distinct genetic properties in different groups of men that can be targeted to improve patient outcomes, UVA Cancer Center researchers have discovered. Based on new findings in Chinese men, the researchers are urging similar studies in other groups to advance precision medicine and better tailor treatments.

    An international team of researchers co-led by UVA’s Hui Li, PhD, looked at what are known as “chimeric RNA” in Chinese men and found both similarities and differences…

  • Artificial intelligence tool helps predict relapse of pediatric brain cancer

    Artificial intelligence tool helps predict relapse of pediatric brain cancer

    Artificial intelligence (AI) shows tremendous promise for analyzing vast medical imaging datasets and identifying patterns that may be missed by human observers. AI-assisted interpretation of brain scans may help improve care for children with brain tumors called gliomas, which are typically treatable but vary in risk of recurrence. Investigators from Mass General Brigham and collaborators at Boston Children’s Hospital and Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center…

  • Exercise boosts brain health — even when energy is low

    Exercise boosts brain health — even when energy is low

    We know exercise is good for our body, but what about our brains? A new study from the University of Missouri suggests that exercise plays a crucial role in keeping our minds sharp, even when one of the brain’s key energy sources isn’t available.

    The study, led by Mizzou researchers Taylor Kelty and R. Scott Rector, offers fresh insight into brain health and suggests that exercise could play a bigger role in preventing cognitive decline than previously thought.

    With the number of Americans…

  • Even light exercise could help slow cognitive decline in people at risk of Alzheimer’s

    Even light exercise could help slow cognitive decline in people at risk of Alzheimer’s

    Researchers at University of California San Diego and Wake Forest University have found that both low and moderate-high intensity exercise could be valuable tools in the fight against Alzheimer’s. The new research, published as two papers in Alzheimer’s and Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, describes the results of the EXERT study (Exercise in Adults with Mild Memory Problems), a multi-site clinical trial of lower or moderate-high intensity exercise in sedentary older…

  • AI algorithm can help identify high-risk heart patients to quickly diagnose, expedite, and improve care

    AI algorithm can help identify high-risk heart patients to quickly diagnose, expedite, and improve care

    Mount Sinai researchers studying a type of heart disease known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have calibrated an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to quickly and more specifically identify patients with the condition and flag them as high risk for greater attention during doctor’s appointments.

    The algorithm, known as Viz HCM, had previously been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the detection of HCM on an electrocardiogram (ECG). The Mount Sinai study, published…
