    Listeria-based Booster Improves Vaccine’s Protection Against Recurring Colon Cancer - 2 year(s) ago

    PHILADELPHIA — Colorectal, pancreatic, esophageal and stomach cancers—some of the deadliest kinds of cancer—have high recurrence rates where the cancer comes back even after successful surgery or radiation treatment. To combat these treatment-resistant cancers, Thomas University Jefferson researchers led by Adam Snook, PhD, an associate professor of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics,…

    Predicting Heart Disease from the Skin - 3 year(s) ago

    PHILADELPHIA – Our skin tells us when we’ve spent too much time in the sun or when the dry air of winter has sucked away too much moisture. Now Jefferson researchers find that the skin can also foretell issues unrelated to the protective barrier.   An international team of researchers led by Jouni Uitto, MD, PhD, a Professor of Dermatology and Cutaneous Biology, report that mutations in a…

    The First 3D Map of the Heart’s Neurons - 4 year(s) ago

    PHILADELPHIA – The normal functioning of our hearts is maintained by our body’s control center – the brain – via an intricate network of nerves. When this communication is disrupted, it results in heart disease, including heart attacks, sudden cardiac death and problems in blood supply. As an added layer of safety, the heart has its own ‘little brain’, called the intracardiac nervous system…
