The University of Maryland School of Medicine has performed the world's first successful animal-to-human heart transplant with an animal heart, reporting the recipient is doing well days later.

Date Time A path to aggressive breast cancer Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have followed the progression of breast cancer in an animal model and discovered a path that transforms a slow-growing type of cancer known as estrogen receptor (ER)+/HER2+ into a fast-growing ER-/HER2+ type that spreads or metastasizes to other organs. The study, which appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has implications for breast cancer therapy as it suggests the need to differe...

 E-Mail A study led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine reveals a novel role of the steroid receptor coactivator 3 (SRC-3/NCOA3), a protein crucial for steroid hormone function and a prognostic marker for aggressive human breast and other cancers. The team discovered that SRC-3 also regulates human immune T regulatory cells (Tregs), which contribute to the regulation of the bodys immunological activity by suppressing the function of other immune cells, including those involved in fig...

Heart failure after a significant heart attack is a leading cause of death in humans. It often occurs over a few years; a person becomes weaker and weaker and eventually dies. There are very few preventative therapies. At Baylor College of Medicine, a team of researchers has found a potential treatment that has shown promising results in mice.   Dr. Bert O’Malley “In the mouse model, our team has been able to show that a molecule known as MCB-613 decreases damaging remodeling when given wi...
