    UM School of Medicine Dermatology Researchers Discover New Skin Disease Using Innovative Diagnostic Platform

    Utilizing a novel diagnostic test for peripheral blood immunophenotyping, researchers were able to identify the specific sources of inflammation triggering the novel skin disease and reverse symptoms with targeted treatments.

    A significant number of Americans experience chronic inflammatory skin conditions with no pinpointed cause and often no effective treatments beyond symptom management. Now a new study could pave the way for precision-medicine based diagnostic testing and targeted treatment.

    Hormones may have therapeutic potential to prevent wrinkles, hair graying

    Hormones may be leveraged to treat and prevent signs of aging such as wrinkles and hair graying, according to a new study published in the EndocrineSociety journal Endocrine Reviews.

    Until now, only a limited number of hormones, mainly topical retinoids (retinol and tretinoin) and estrogen which is typically used to treat side effects of menopause, have been used in clinical practice as anti-skin aging compounds. This study reviews a new class of hormones and their anti-aging properties.

    Research challenges our understanding of cancer predisposition

    New findings question assumptions of cancer formation in individuals with the cancer-predisposition syndrome, neurofibromatosis type 1, and offer hope for a personalised approach to early cancer recognition including for those with similar conditions.

    Groundbreaking study shows potential of new mRNA vaccine to help fight tuberculosis
    A new vaccine that boosts immunity against tuberculosis has been shown to be effective in pioneering pre-clinical trials, as part of a successful collaboration between three leading Australian research institutions. A study into the vaccine’s effectiveness, published in eBioMedicine, was led by experts from the Sydney Infectious Diseases Institute at University of Sydney, the Centenary Institute and the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Science at Monash University.

    Stanford researchers identify biological pathways associated with inherited cancer risk
    Thousands of single changes in the nucleotides that make up the human genome have been associated with an increased risk of developing cancer. But until now, its not been clear which are directly responsible for the uncontrolled cellular growth that is the hallmark of the disease and which are simply coincidences or minor players.

    Olpasiran associated with reducing bad cholesterol in Cardiovascular Disease
    The RNA inhibitor olpasiran significantly reduces a type of bad cholesterol thats associated with a high risk of cardiovascular events, according to results from an analysis by a Mount Sinai researcher of a phase 2 trial. The study reported that higher doses of olpasiran lowered the type of cholesterol called lipoprotein a by more than 95 percent in participants with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
