Dysplasia News and Research

RSS

Dysplasia is a term used in pathology to refer to an abnormality in maturation of cells within a tissue. This generally consists of an expansion of immature cells, with a corresponding decrease in the number and location of mature cells.

Genetic Changes Affecting Cartilage Cell Maturation may Influence Adult Height, Study Shows

When it comes to height, our fate is sealed along with our growth plates—cartilage near the ends of bones that hardens as a child develops.

Bone growth protein may help treat newborns with rare genetic lung condition

When babies are born with alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins (ACDMPV), their skin starts to turn blue from the under-oxygenated blood in their systems.

Yale and uOttawa researchers partner to solve a puzzle rooted in the deepest past of evolution

For decades, scientists have been trying to unravel an enduring mystery of structural biology: Why do two otherwise identical protein forms found in everything from plants, amphibians and human beings hang onto a slight variation across the mighty span of evolution?

Study finds novel genes linked to fibromuscular dysplasia using genetic meta-analysis

Recent research identified that three novel genetic variants that control gene expression in the arteries are linked to fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD)—an arterial disease that induces threatening impacts for the heart and vessels.

Gut mycobiome correlates with metabolic outcomes in response to diet

Studies of the microbiome in the human gut focus mainly on bacteria. Other microbes that are also present in the gut -- viruses, protists, archaea and fungi -- have been largely overlooked.

Study identifies genetic mutation linked with fibromuscular dysplasia

Understanding of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), a rare blood vessel disease, is making the jump from the laboratory to the clinic with new findings about a genetic variant.
