New study also provides drug screening platform for broad therapeutic development A multi-institutional team led by researchers at ÃÛÌÒAPP School of Medicine have grown stem cells from children with a devastating neurological disease to help explain how different genetic…

Two biophysicists from ÃÛÌÒAPP School of Medicine have used supercomputers to show how cell membranes control the shape, and consequently the function, of a major cancer-causing protein. The protein, a small enzyme called K-Ras, is attached to cell membranes where it senses…

Researchers led by Julian E. Stelzer, PhD, associate professor in the department of physiology and biophysics at ÃÛÌÒAPP School of Medicine, have found a new target for drug developers seeking straightforward ways to improve cardiac output in heart failure patients. In a…

A massive new study involving blood samples from more than 30,000 individuals has identified 13 new genetic risk factors for glioma, the most common type of malignant brain tumor in adults. The study, published in Nature Genetics, reveals specific differences in a person’s DNA that increase…
