Scientists at St. Jude Children鈥檚 Research Hospital used a series of cryo-EM structures to visualize dynamics pivotal to chromatin remodeling, a process implicated in cancer and developmental disorders.
Collaborative research led by investigators at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center defines a novel approach to understanding how certain proteins called transcription factors determine which genetic programs will drive cell growth and maturation. The method, called 鈥淧erturb-multiome,鈥 uses CRISPR to knock out the function of individual transcription factors across many blood cells at once.
Do physicians or artificial intelligence (AI) offer better treatment recommendations for patients examined through a virtual urgent care setting? A new Cedars-Sinai study shows physicians and AI models have distinct strengths.
Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic 鈥渕arks鈥 in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may keep at least a temporary 鈥渕emory鈥 of those cancer-linked marks.
New research shows how small shifts in the molecular makeup of a virus can profoundly alter its fate. These shifts could turn a deadly pathogen into a harmless bug or supercharge a relatively benign virus, influencing its ability to infect humans and cause dangerous outbreaks.
A new study suggests that people in their 50s and older have embraced the ability to send and receive secure medical messages with their doctors and other providers, through the digital patient portals that most health systems and medical offices now offer.
C. difficile is one of the most common and contagious hospital-acquired infections. Research has found that C. diff spreads more than three times more than previously thought and can remain undetected on surfaces for weeks until it infects a patient.
A new study 鈥 just published in Nursing Research 鈥 has uncovered concerning disparities in patient outcomes, specifically related to nursing care, within hospitals that predominantly serve Black communities.
New psychology research from the University of Miami sheds light on the association between police officers鈥 psychological distress and how they view people with serious mental illnesses.
