Within southeast Michigan s Middle Eastern and North African community, those who worry about deportation or believe they ve been treated unfairly are likely to face more adverse conditions associated with poor health, including food insecurity and financial distress.
The MENA people who face several of these barriers are also more likely to report chronic illness and mental health issues as well as worse overall health. There are numerous health disparities for the MENA community that are not that different from other racial and ethnic groups where we re trying to close the gap, says Minal R. Patel, Ph.D., M.P.H., an associate professor of health behavior and health education at the U-M School of Public Health and a member of the Rogel Cancer Center. The data show us th

A long noncoding RNA whose function was previously unknown turns out to play a vital role in mobilizing the immune response following a bone marrow transplant or solid organ transplantation.
This RNA molecule, cataloged in scientific databases simply as Linc00402, helps activate immune defenders known as T cells in response to the presence of foreign human cells, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center and Michigan Medicine.

This RNA molecule, cataloged in scientific databases simply as Linc00402, helps activate immune defenders known as T cells in response to the presence of foreign human cells, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center and Michigan Medicine.
The investigation, which included samples from more than 50 patients who underwent a bone marrow or heart transplant, suggests inhibiting the RNA therapeutically might improve outcomes for transplant recipients. Their findings appear in
