Diverse biobank study links genetics to disease risk and treatment

A new study by UCLA Health published in Cell presents a major advancement in the future of personalized medicine by pinpointing new connections between people’s genes, disease risk and medicine response by using a clinically well-characterized and diverse population-represented biobank. By analyzing genetic data and electronic health records from 93,936 participants in the UCLA ATLAS … Read more

Large Study Shows Genetic Risk Results Can Be Returned to Thousands of Patients—With Caveats

A new study published in the American Journal of Human Genetics offers a look at how genetic risk information can be returned to patients at scale—and where health systems still fall short. The research, conducted through the eMERGE network, a multi-site genomic medicine initiative, tracked the return of genome-informed risk assessments to nearly 24,000 adults … Read more

ctDNA could aid surgical de-escalation in older ER+ breast cancer patients

Original story from UPMC For women age 70 and over with a common form of breast cancer, determining “the right size” of treatment can be challenging, in part because clinicians have limited tools to guide individualized treatment decisions. In a study published recently in Clinical Cancer Research, scientists at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center and the … Read more

Mutant Gene Behind Aggressive Adult Leukemia Offers New Clues for Treatment

Newswise — Imagine a tiny superhero inside every cell of your body whose job is to stop damaged cells before they turn dangerous. That superhero is a gene called TP53, and for decades scientists have known it as the “guardian of the genome.” But what happens when the guardian breaks? A recent study led by Asst. Prof. Caner … Read more

World-first stem-cell therapy shows promise for treating spina bifida in the womb

An in utero treatment using placenta-derived stem cells could treat infants with a neural-tube condition called spina bifida. Credit: Simon Fraser/Science Photo Library Stem cells applied to the exposed spinal cords of fetuses in utero could treat infants with a severe birth complication that affects movement and continence. Researchers report that the therapy is safe, … Read more

New mode of communication inside cells helps bacterial pathogens to evade drugs

Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs. Their findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, describe how these mechanisms drive antimicrobial resistance in Listeria monocytogenes, the foodborne bacteria that causes listeriosis.  The work is a collaboration between researchers at the University at Albany and … Read more
