    New discovery finds gene converts insulin-producing cells into blood-sugar boosters

    Scientists at City of Hope, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the U.S., and a leading research center for diabetes and other life-threatening illnesses, have uncovered a gene called SMOC1 that plays a surprising role in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) by converting pancreatic cells that normally produce insulin into those that increase blood sugar.

    Microscopic pores in brain cells may be a key to Parkinson’s
    A toxic protein forms dynamic pores in the membranes of brain cells – and that may be the key to understanding how Parkinson’s disease develops. This is the conclusion of a new study from Aarhus University, where researchers have developed an advanced method to track molecular attacks in real time.
  • FDA recommends more MRI monitoring for patients with Alzheimer’s disease taking Leqembi (lecanemab)

    FDA recommends more MRI monitoring for patients with Alzheimer’s disease taking Leqembi (lecanemab)

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recommending an additional, earlier magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) monitoring prior to the 3rd infusion for patients with Alzheimer’s disease taking Leqembi (lecanemab). The earlier monitoring can identify individuals with amyloid-related imaging abnormalities with edema (ARIA-E), which is characterized by brain swelling or fluid buildup. ARIA-E is usually asymptomatic, although serious and life-threatening events, including seizure and status epilepticus, can occur and there have been deaths.

    One Universal Antiviral to Rule Them All?
    For a few dozen people in the world, the downside of living with a rare immune condition comes with a surprising superpower—the ability to fight off all viruses. Columbia immunologist Dusan Bogunovic discovered the individuals’ antiviral powers about 15 years ago, soon after he identified the genetic mutation that causes the condition.
