Researchers at the University of Michigan have identified a type of skeletal stem cell in the "resting zone" of the epiphyseal growth plate, which is a special cartilaginous tissue and an important driver for bone growth. Noriaki Ono, University of Michigan assistant professor of dentistry, said that locating skeletal stem cells in the resting zone makes sense because it's widely believed that stem cells stay quiet until they're needed.

In 2017, a 26-year-old man receiving treatment for leukemia went to a Swiss hospital's emergency room with a fever, a sore throat and a cough and was admitted. His condition worsened, and 17 days later, he died from severe complications of measles.

Removing the appendix early in life reduces the risk of developing Parkinson's disease by 19 to 25 percent, according to the largest and most comprehensive study of its kind, published in Science Translational Medicine.
The findings also solidify the role of the gut and immune system in the genesis of the disease, and reveal that the appendix acts as a major reservoir for abnormally folded alpha-synuclein proteins, which are closely linked to Parkinson's onset and progression.

Two recent studies detail a natural mechanism that, if harnessed properly, may be able to destroy cancer cells and their ability to become resistant to treatment — without any of the side effects of chemotherapy. In a study published in 2017, scientists led by Marcus E. Peter — the Tomas D. Spies Professor of Cancer Metabolism at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago — revealed not only that certain RNA molecules can kill cancer cells, but that they can also simultaneously prevent them from becoming resistant to treatment.

Ensuring access to HIV services and harm-reduction interventions earlier could reduce HIV incidence substantially over the course of an actual outbreak, according to a study published in The Lancet.
From 2014 to 2015, Scott County, Indiana, had a significant outbreak of HIV infection among people who inject drugs with a total of 215 incident cases attributed to the outbreak.

Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in North America, and its incidence has risen sharply in the last decade. Since its progression depends on environmental factors, increases in daily temperatures, a manifestation of climate change, might be contributing to a rise in the number of ticks as well as a greater availability of hosts.

Immunotherapy — harnessing T-cells to attack cancer cells in the body — has given hope to patients who endure round after round of treatment, including chemotherapy, to little effect. For all of its promise, however, immunotherapy still benefits only a minority of patients — a reality driving research in the field for ways to improve the relatively new approach.

The risk for breast cancer recurrence can be extracted using disease-specific survival data, according to a study published online Oct. 18 in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. Angela B. Mariotto, Ph.D., from the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, and colleagues presented a novel method for estimating the risk for recurrence.

A study in mice has shown that it may be possible to detect the early signs of atherosclerosis, which leads to blocked arteries, by looking at how cells in our blood vessels change their function.
The muscle cells that line the blood vessels have long been known to multitask. While their main function is pumping blood through the body, they are also involved in "patching up" injuries in the blood vessels.
