Effectiveness of exome and genome sequencing to detect undiagnosed syndromes Recently, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has been effectively used for disease management and the formulation of new treatments. Genome sequencing (GS) and exome sequencing (ES) methods, both of which are based on NGS, have radically changed the diagnosis of rare Continue Reading

Analysis of rebound virus suggests two separate reservoirs of latent HIV in patients When people living with HIV take antiviral therapy (ART), their viral loads are driven so low that a standard blood test cannot detect the virus. However, once ART is stopped, detectable HIV re-emerges with new cells getting Continue Reading

New discovery about “killer torpedoes” may be the next breakthrough in cancer treatment In our body, we have both an innate immune system and an immune system that is developed throughout life. Part of the innate immune system consists of so-called NK cells. This is a type of immune cell Continue Reading

New technique offers a two-prong approach to attacking cancers When noninvasive sound waves break apart tumors, they trigger an immune response in mice. By breaking down the cell wall “cloak,” the treatment exposes cancer cell markers that had previously been hidden from the body’s defenses, researchers at the University of Continue Reading

OU biomedical engineer receives $2 million to examine movement impairments in stroke patients University of Oklahoma biomedical engineer Yuan Yang, Ph.D., has received nearly $2 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health and the American Heart Association to examine the impact of strokes and the movement impairments stroke Continue Reading

Focused-ultrasound-mediated liquid biopsy improves detection of neurodegeneration biomarkers Several progressive neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, are defined by having tau proteins in the brain. Researchers are seeking to identify the mechanisms behind these tau proteins to develop treatments, however, their efforts to detect biomarkers in blood has been hampered by Continue Reading

Migraine diagnosed prior to pregnancy linked to adverse outcomes during pregnancy Women are disproportionately affected by migraine, especially during their reproductive years. However, the relationship between migraine and adverse pregnancy outcomes has not been well understood. A new study by investigators from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a founding member of Continue Reading
