UVA Health lung researchers are developing a promising approach to detecting patients at risk of interstitial lung disease (ILD), an increasingly common condition that is a leading reason for lung transplants. The…
The non-invasive approach will help clinicians overcome current challenges of obtaining high-resolution images from deep inside tissue. A University of Arizona research team will receive nearly $2.7 million from the NIH’s Common Fund Venture…

The growing use of GLP-1 receptor agonists may affect the interpretation of oncological FDG PET-CT scans, new research presented today at the 38th Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine…
The strong opioid painkiller, tramadol, is not that effective at easing chronic pain for which it’s widely prescribed, finds a pooled data analysis of the available research, published online in BMJ Evidence Based…
Whole genome sequencing offered to breast cancer patients is likely to identify unique genetic features that could either guide immediate treatment or help match patients to clinical trials for over 15,000 women…
Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene causes one trait or a specific illness. When doctors use genetics, it’s usually to try to identify a disease-causing gene to help guide diagnosis and…
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and hardest forms of breast cancer to treat, but a new study led by Weill Cornell Medicine suggests a surprising way…
A team of researchers at the C.S. Mott Center for Human Growth and Development at Wayne State University has uncovered how exposure to the Zika virus during pregnancy can cause lasting, sex-specific…
The symptoms come on quickly — acute fever, followed by debilitating joint pain that can last for months. Though rarely fatal, the chikungunya virus, a mosquito-borne illness, can be particularly severe for…
Utah engineers’ stripped-down version of the polypeptide in polar-region fish is simple enough to be manufactured at scale, but powerful enough to inhibit the formation of ice crystals at sub-zero temperatures without…
