NHRI finding could curb spread of prostate cancer Staff writer, with CNA National Health Research Institutes (NHRI) researchers have found that stimulating activity of a certain gene might suppress the ability of prostate cancer to spread to the bones, a finding they said could lead to new medicines. Chuu Chih-pin (褚志斌), an associate researcher at the NHRI’s Institute of Cellular and System Medicine, said in a statement on Friday that the team’s research focused on the role of the ROR2 gene, which is involved in the chemical signaling that regulates cellular activity. Prostate can...

High expression of cell death genes may increase risk of early death from lung cancer Patients with a high number of genes most associated with pathways that lead to cell death in lung cancer are at increased risk of dying early from their disease, researchers report. Also seemingly paradoxically, patients with high expression of this "21-gene cell death signature" the researchers have identified, have indicators that their immune system is attacking the cancer, like higher levels of cytotoxic T cells, which typically kill cancer. But they also have high levels of molecules that can suppress ...

April 5, 2021 By Marcia Gossard, College of Veterinary Medicine The WSU College of Veterinary Medicine ranked No. 6 among veterinary colleges nationally for National Institutes of Health research funding last year. “The college has consistently ranked in the top 10 of veterinary colleges for over a decade,” said Jon Oatley, associate dean of research for the college. “Our success in garnering extramural research support is a reflection of the quality of basic and applied science conducted across all units that makeup our college.” In the last three years, the WSU College of Veterinary...

SARS-CoV-2 can infect blood monocytes and trigger inflammation, finds study Researchers found about 10% of blood monocytes in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients are infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). These monocytes then die, leading to the release of cytokines – a feature associated with severe and critical COVID-19. In some COVID-19 patients, SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to acute respiratory distress and multi-organ failure and death. Severe disease has been associated with increased pro-inflammatory cytokines and C-reactive protein. Mye...
