JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A new study published today in The Lancet showed results from the largest of its kind Phase III trial demonstrating a significant survival benefit for patients with oropharyngeal cancers who were treated with proton therapy compared to traditional radiation therapy. Led by researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson...
Researchers based in Gabon and France report the discovery of a new malaria agent infecting chimpanzees in Central Africa. This new species, named Plasmodium gaboni, is a close relative of the most virulent human agent P. falciparum; it is described in an article published May 29 in the open-access journal...
Using a new technology for inserting large DNA sections into a genome, scientists have successfully created a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease that has the same impairments of movement and degenerative brain changes as the human disease, according to a study published online June 7 in Nature Neuroscience. Yanping Li,...
MIAMI, FLORIDA – A new study shows the potential power of imaging paired with radiation to shape treatment for glioblastoma patients in real time.
