UT Health SA Newsroom: Do all chemotherapies have equal heart risk long term?

January 31, 2019

Study of 28,000 childhood cancer survivors finds important differences In long-term survivors of childhood cancer, cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of early death from non-cancer causes. In a new study, published Jan. 31 in JAMA Oncology, researchers compared four chemotherapy drugs with the development of cardiomyopathy (abnormal heart muscle with impaired function) years after treatment.

BMC Systems Biology: GSAE: an autoencoder with embedded gene-set nodes for genomics functional characterization

December 21, 2018

Hung-I Harry Chen, Yu-Chiao Chiu, Tinghe Zhang, Songyao Zhang, Yufei Huang & Yidong Chen Abstract Background Bioinformatics tools have been developed to interpret gene expression data at the gene set level, and these gene set-based analyses improve the biologists’ capability to discover the functional relevance of their experiment design. While elucidating gene set individually, inter-gene sets association is rarely taken into […]

Tiny molecule has big effect in childhood brain tumor studies

December 6, 2018

Sometimes small things make the biggest difference. A new study by UT Health San Antonio researchers found that a molecule thousands of times smaller than a gene are able to kill medulloblastoma, the most common childhood brain cancer.

Sometimes small things make the biggest difference. A new study by UT Health San Antonio researchers found that a molecule thousands of times smaller than a gene is able to kill medulloblastoma, the most common childhood brain cancer. This tiny molecule, named MiR-584-5p, is quite efficient in its action. MiR-584-5p sensitizes the cancer to chemotherapy […]
