Prostate Cancer: BRCA2 deficiency

Considering genetic risk in prostate cancer referrals could lead to earlier diagnosis

AIHBA / By

Men at the highest risk for prostate cancer could be fast-tracked for investigation if their genetic risk was considered in general practice, new research has concluded. A large-scale study by the University of Exeter, published in the British Journal of Cancer, looked at the impact of incorporating genetic risk for cancer into the GP triage […]

Greater fat stores and cholesterol increase with brain volume, but beyond a certain point they are associated with faster brain aging

AIHBA / By

Among Indigenous, rural non-industrial populations inhabiting the tropical forests of lowland Bolivia, researchers report, there appears to be an optimal balance between levels of food consumption and exercise that maximizes healthy brain aging and reduces the risk of disease. “We hypothesize that energy gain from food intake was positively associated with late life brain health

Molecular imaging offers insight into chemo-brain

AIHBA / By

A newly published literature review sheds light on how nuclear medicine brain imaging can help evaluate the biological changes that cause chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment (CRCI), commonly known as chemo-brain. Armed with this information, patients can understand better the changes in their cognitive status during and after treatment. This summary of findings was published ahead-of-print by

Scientists see anti-aging potential in an invasive weed

AIHBA / By

The fruit of the cocklebur plant, which grows worldwide and is often considered a noxious weed, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory components that could make it useful as a skin protectant, according to new research. Researchers found that compounds in the species’ spiky fruits reduced damage from UVB exposure and sped wound healing in laboratory tests

Aggressive prostate cancer linked to ancestral heritage

AIHBA / By

Two pioneering studies published simultaneously today in Nature and Genome Medicine, have identified genetic signatures explaining ethnic differences in the severity of prostate cancer, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Through genetic sequencing of prostate cancer tumours from Australian, Brazilian and South African donors, the team identified a new prostate cancer taxonomy (classification scheme) and cancer drivers

High blood pressure

High blood pressure in your 30s is associated with worse brain health in your 70s

AIHBA / By

Having high blood pressure in your 30s is associated with worse brain health around age 75, especially for men, according to a new UC Davis study. The research, published this week in JAMA Network Open, compared magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans of older adults who had high blood pressure between the ages of 30

aortic ruptures

Detecting, predicting, and preventing aortic ruptures with computational modeling

AIHBA / By

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) causes the wall of a person’s aorta, the largest artery in the body, to weaken and bulge outward. If left untreated, it can continue to grow and eventually rupture, which can lead to life-threatening bleeding. According to some estimates, up to 80% of patients who experience a ruptured AAA will

Boosting the body's anti-viral immune response may eliminate aging cells

Boosting the body's anti-viral immune response may eliminate aging cells

AIHBA / By

Aging, or senescent cells, which stop dividing but don’t die, can accumulate in the body over the years and fuel chronic inflammation that contributes to conditions such as cancer and degenerative disorders. In mice, eliminating senescent cells from aging tissues can restore tissue balance and lead to an increased healthy lifespan. Now a team led

Research suggests commonly used prostate cancer treatment rewires engine of prostate tumors

AIHBA / By

Drugs like enzalutamide that inhibit male hormones from activating the androgen receptor have been used to treat advanced prostate cancer for more than a decade. While successful in most cases, these drugs can eventually stop working, but there is a limited understanding about how this change occurs. A new study from the University of Michigan

Researchers discover a way to fight the aging process and cancer development

AIHBA / By

A protein complex prevents the repair of genome damage in human cells, in mice and in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a team of researchers at the University of Cologne has discovered. They also successfully inhibited this complex for the first time using a pharmaceutical agent. “When we suppress the so-called DREAM complex in body cells,
