First Humanized Mouse Model for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Developed

Mice with a defected human gene responsible for a rare genetic disease, called congenital adrenal hyperplasia, have been developed for the first time.

Scientists Illuminate the Mechanism that Raises and Lowers PSMA Expression in Prostate Cancer

Like the better-known prostate-specific antigen (PSA), prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a biomarker that can tell physicians much about a patient's metastatic prostate cancer.

New combination therapy regimen may reduce prostate cancer progression or death by 37%

TALAPRO-2, a study led by Neeraj Agarwal, MD, FASCO, demonstrated that using TALZENNA, in combination with XTANDI, may reduce the risk of disease progression or death by 37%.

Potential approach for mitigating ALS pathogenesis

Every year, 5,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with ALS, an incurable neurodegenerative disease that will destroy them within two to five years.

Scientist reveals the impact of mitochondria in metastatic prostate cancer

Prostate cancer that has spread to other regions of the body is commonly treated with hormone treatment, but many individuals develop resistance to it, making their disease more aggressive and potentially fatal.

Study identifies new variants for polycystic ovary syndrome

Scientists from the Institute of Genomics of the University of Tartu recently identified the association between polycystic ovary syndrome and genetics.

New approach to identify molecular targets for improved prostate cancer therapy

In a new study, researchers have introduced DSER, a technique for identifying molecular targets for enhanced therapy in prostate cancer.

More informed choices of contraceptives can prevent breast cancer

Hormonal contraceptives, e.g. the pill, the patch, and the vaginal ring, contain synthetic hormones that prevent pregnancy by either stopping ovulation, changing the cervical mucus to stop sperm from passing through the cervix and finding an egg, or changing the womb's lining to prevent a fertilized egg from being implanted in it.

Hormone drugs may help disarm coronavirus spike protein and stop disease progression

Hormone drugs that reduce androgen levels may help disarm the coronavirus spike protein used to infect cells and stop the progression of severe COVID-19 disease, suggests a new preclinical study from researchers in the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania and published online in Cell Press's iScience.

Study identifies new mode of male endocrine disruption due to environmental arsenic exposure

Arsenic exists ubiquitously in an organic or inorganic state in the environment. General populations are commonly exposed to arsenic by digestion.

Genetic signature in localized prostate cancer can predict likelihood of tumor metastases

Researchers have identified a genetic signature in localized prostate cancer that can predict whether the cancer is likely to spread, or metastasize, early in the course of the disease and whether it will respond to anti-androgen therapy, a common treatment for advanced disease.
