Harvard researchers have developed a novel PET radiotracer that can reveal genetic expression, or lack thereof, in the brain enzymes called histone deacetylases (HDACs). 

As effective treatments for Alzheimer’s continue to elude the medical community, new research from Iowa State University has shed light onto a particular protein and how it can predict the likelihood of someone developing Alzheimer’s.

The smallest state has the highest percentage of hospitals with access to mammography. The second-smallest state has the lowest percentage. And the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute lets the visual do the talking in an infographic posted Aug. 10.

Early detection is crucial when treating breast cancer—and to that end, researchers have turned to our own bodies to help. A study from Provista Diagnostics looked at two different protein biomarkers to find if they could improve early detection.

New research from Columbia University shows that patients who’ve suffered from cancer may have a harder time warding off extra pounds, and it may be even more difficult for patients of color.

Increasing numbers of children are turning up with pancreatitis and other abnormalities involving that glandular organ. Spurred by this observation, a multicenter literature-review team has written a paper offering an update on existing imaging techniques and interventional endoscopic modalities.

Hormone therapy is a common and effective treatment for breast cancer, but some genetically complex tumors may become resistant to the treatment, according to a Washington University study. 

The prognosis for patients with meningiomas, the most common tumors of the brain and spinal cord, has improved in the decades since advanced imaging began aiding detection.
