Researchers Develop Nanoparticles That Could Combat Scarring, Inflammation in ARLD

In the U.S., liver disease claims the lives of at least 52,000 people annually. Globally, statistics suggest that 1.5 billion individuals are affected by liver disease. However, ARLD, or alcohol-related liver disease, hasn’t garnered traction within the scientific community, until now. A study undertaken by a team at Texas A&M University has developed a novel therapy that could transform how ARLD is treated. Doctor Jyothi Menon, the lead researcher of this study, explains that the rising cases of liver diseases increase the risk of potentially life-threatening complications like cancer developing from these liver diseases. She adds that this concern drove…

Virtual Brain Tumors Could Transform How Cancer is Treated

Brain tumors, such as glioblastoma, are very hard to treat and even surgery isn’t sufficient to fully remove the tumor since tiny particles of cancerous cells remain and proliferate within a short time. However, ongoing work at Cedars-Sinai promises to transform brain cancer treatment by creating a digital twin of a patient’s tumor and then predicting how the cancer will grow and how it could respond to different therapies. In this way, treatment teams can better personalize treatments for individual patients. At the heart of this work is Kristin Swanson, PhD, who is engaged in pioneering work that combines mathematics…

Researchers Urge Canadians to Donate Toenails, for Science

A new study that is being planned by scientists at the University of Calgary, Canada, is looking to receive up to 10,000 toenail samples from volunteers around the country. The reason for this seemingly odd request is to study how to accurately measure how much radon someone has been exposed to and link this exposure to their risk of developing lung cancer. The drivers of the development of lung cancer have been quite an enigma to the scientific community. While smoking has been identified to be a leading cause of the disease, a notable fraction of lung cancer patients don’t…

New Report Highlights Concerning Trends in the US Health Care System

There is general agreement that the U.S. health care system has issues, but there isn’t consensus on what exactly needs to be done to fix those issues. A new report published by Trilliant Health, an economic analysis company, points out some notable trends that should be given the attention they deserve by health care system stakeholders. The authors indicate in the report that by 2033, the share of GDP going into health care costs will climb to 20.3%. On the surface, this may look like increasing amounts of resources are going to be channeled into health care and this would…
