Mitochondria Transfer From Healthy Astrocytes Fuels Glioblastoma Tumorigenicity
Glioblastoma cells use mitochondria from the central nervous system to grow and form more aggressive tumors, a new study finds. The finding suggests new opportunities for therapeutic development.
Research Links Immune Cell Receptors to Asthma, Inflammatory Lung Disease
A Cleveland Clinic research team has discovered how a protein on the surface of immune system mast cells in the lungs facilitates the cells’ proliferation, contributing to severe inflammation and progression to asthma. Although more research is needed to fully understand mast cell hyperproliferation, inhibiting the surface protein known as MCEMP1 could be a new approach to treating asthma and other inflammatory lung conditions.
Study Identifies Gut Microbe-Derived TMAO as a Novel Mediator of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
New evidence has implicated the gut microbial metabolite in yet another cardiometabolic disease. The findings raise prospects of new TMAO-related avenues for diagnosing and treating aortic aneurysms.
Quantum Computing Debuts at Cleveland Clinic
The world’s first quantum computer devoted to healthcare research is now operational at Cleveland Clinic, part of a landmark partnership with IBM called the Discovery Accelerator that will use advanced computing technologies to hasten biomedical innovations.
Soft Robotic Model Replicates Patients’ Aortic Stenosis and Ventricular Dysfunction
A desktop-sized cardiac modeling system made of pliable, 3D-printed materials can be customized to accurately mimic the hydrodynamics of individual patients’ aortic stenosis, ventricular remodeling and diastolic dysfunction.
Digital Twin Neighborhoods: An Advanced Tool to Tackle Health Disparities
Cleveland Clinic researchers and their colleagues are developing digital replicas of real communities, including biological, social and geographic data. Modeling neighborhoods will help identify effective ways to eliminate place-based health inequalities, which disproportionately affect minorities and people with low incomes.
