Scientists discover how lung cells induce immune response to influenza
Researchers from Trinity have discovered some new and surprising ways that viral RNA and influenza virus are detected by human lung cells, which has potential implications for treating people affected by such viruses.
Study connects imaging and genetic data to gain insights into the development of the pancreas
Our pancreas has different cells that do important jobs to control our blood sugar. One of the genes in pancreatic cells is called Neurogenin 3 (NEUROG3). Its mutation can lead to diabetes. It is active only for a short period of time during the development of the pancreas, which is why its behavior and dynamics have remained a mystery, especially in the context of human development.
New study shows antioxidants stimulate blood flow in tumors
Vitamin C and other antioxidants stimulate the formation of new blood vessels in lung cancer tumors, a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation shows.

Talk therapy with other moms an effective treatment for postpartum depression, research shows
An innovative model of care that offers new mothers psychotherapy delivered by other mothers who have also experienced postpartum depression (PPD) should be implemented in clinical practice, according to researchers at McMaster University.
AI predictions for colorectal cancer: One step closer to efficient precision oncology
Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks second in leading causes of cancer-related deaths globally, according to the WHO. For the first time, researchers from Helmholtz Munich and the University of Technology Dresden (TU Dresden) show that artificial intelligence (AI)-based predictions can deliver comparable results to clinical tests on biopsies of patients with CRC.
