The recent study carried out by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) suggests that there are vital things to consider with regard to treatment strategies for obesity in children. Melanie Heitkamp, a researcher from TUM’s department of prevention, sports medicine and rehabilitation, explained that using an individual’s genetic predisposition as a basis for their likelihood to respond to a treatment…

Genetics May Help Prevent Decline in Cognitive Function

While some individuals suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s as they get older, others tend to remain sharp well past the age of 80. German researchers have found the reason for this: an individual’s genes. The researchers’ conclusion is based on findings from a study that involved studying the brain images of 94 participants who were 80 years old and above. The images were made up of the amount of beta-amyloid protein plaques and tau protein tangles discovered in the participants’ brains. Researchers found that individuals who had lower scores on memory tests were those who were aging normally. These participants…

Study Discovers HIV Increases Risks of Developing Cervical Cancer

A team of researchers from the Technical University of Munich have measured how an HIV infection affects cervical cancer development. HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus in full, is a virus that attacks an individual’s cells, making it harder for the body to fight infections, which makes one more vulnerable to other diseases and infections. The study was reported in “The Lancet Global Health” journal. Statistics from WHO show that cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer type in women. Approximately 580,000 women were diagnosed with cervical carcinoma globally in 2018. It is estimated that nearly 311,000 of these women…

Prostate Cancer Regulator May Be Missing Link for Coronavirus Treatment

Scientists now have an encouraging lead on a coronavirus treatment after borrowing a page from prostate cancer. Two proteins — TMPRSS2 and ACE2 — assist the coronavirus in accessing an individual’s body and multiplying within the body’s cells. Arul Chinnaiyan, who is director of the Michigan Center for Translational Pathology, is familiar with the TMPRSS2 protein, seeing as it was his lab that discovered that the protein merges with the ETS gene to cause a majority of the prostate cancers. The researchers at the lab were also aware that the androgen receptor regulated the TMPRSS2 protein. Earlier this year, Chinnaiyan's laboratory…
