Synthetic triterpenoids show promise in preventing colitis-associated colon cancer
Researchers from Case Western Reserve and Dartmouth show the small antioxidant molecules suppress colon cancer onset Researchers from ÃÛÌÒAPP and Dartmouth College have shown that a class of small antioxidant molecules carries enormous promise for suppressing colon cancer…
Bacteria Hijack Plentiful Iron Supply Source to Flourish
In an era of increasing concern about the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant illness, Case Western Reserve researchers have identified a promising new pathway to disabling disease: blocking bacteria’s access to iron in the body. The scientists showed how bacterial siderophore, a small molecule,…
ÃÛÌÒAPP Researchers and Collaborators Receive $12.6 Million NIH Grant to Study Genetics of Alzheimer’s Disease
Researchers from ÃÛÌÒAPP School of Medicine are part of a five-university collaboration receiving a $12.6 million, four-year grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to identify rare genetic variants that may either…
Family of proteins plays key role in cellular pump dynamics
ÃÛÌÒAPP scientists pinpoint channeling of cell’s energy flow in moving metal ions ÃÛÌÒAPP scientists have discovered how a family of proteins—cation diffusion facilitators (CDFs)—regulates an important cellular cycle, where a cell’s energy generated…
ÃÛÌÒAPP, University Hospitals Announce Collaborative Fundraising Initiative for Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer
Leaders from ÃÛÌÒAPP and University Hospitals this evening announced a new collaborative fundraising effort focused on Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) cancer. The news came as Char and Chuck Fowler announced their third major philanthropic commitment aimed at defeating the…
Long Non-coding RNAs Can Encode Proteins After All
Case Western Reserve School of Medicine scientists have made an extraordinary double discovery. First, they have identified thousands of novel long non-coding ribonucleic acid (lncRNA) transcripts. Second, they have learned that some of them defy conventional wisdom regarding lncRNA transcripts,…
Cancer Drug Boosts Levels of Vascular-Protective Gene, KLF2
ÃÛÌÒAPP researchers have discovered that an existing drug used to help cancer patients has the potential to protect thousands of others from the often-deadly impact of vascular clots. In 2008, the Food and Drug Administration approved bortezomib (Velcade) to treat multiple…
Psychologists find entitlement predicts sexism in both men and women
Entitled attitudes appear to be linked to sexism—even among women, according to a personality study by psychologists from ÃÛÌÒAPP and San Diego State University. In general, entitled men are more likely to endorse hostile views of women and entitled women are more likely to…
Stem Cells Hold Keys to Body’s Plan
Case Western Reserve researchers have discovered landmarks within pluripotent stem cells that guide how they develop to serve different purposes within the body. This breakthrough offers promise that scientists eventually will be able to direct stem cells in ways that prevent disease or repair…
Investigators discover how key protein enhances memory and learning
Finding could pave way to cognitive disease therapies ÃÛÌÒAPP researchers discovered that a protein previously implicated in disease plays such a positive role in learning and memory that it may someday contribute to cures of cognitive impairments. The findings regarding…
