A research team at Yonsei University College of Medicine has developed a nanovesicle candidate that improves the treatment results of ovarian cancer.The team, led by Professors Kim Sung-hoon and Chung Young-shin of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Sung Hak-joon and Yoon Hyo-jin of th
The Covid-19 pandemic advanced the era of digital healthcare, but the medical community should have a critical point of view to verify the potential and actual effect of digital health, an expert said.Harlan Krumholz, director of the Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation (CORE) at Yale Univers
A Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB) research team has found a clue to possibly inhibit the cancer cell proliferation in a study that revealed cell division processes caused by beta-catenin protein in humans.The team identified that beta-catenin protein, one of the main
Gangnam Severance Hospital has recently confirmed that immediate intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) after surgical resection in pancreatic cancer patients could increase the survival rate by increasing immune response with changes in the lymphocyte population.The research team, led by Professor
Researchers at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital have developed a machine learning model using artificial intelligence to diagnose acute leukemia with 99.1 percent accuracy.The research team, led by Professors Kim Yong-goo and Kim Myung-shin of the Department of Diagnostic Laboratory Medicine, analyzed chro
Researchers at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH) have developed the first program to enhance the social skills of people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) who have had difficulties in social life after reaching adulthood.The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational
Researchers at a state agency have found the key to unlocking ways to pinpoint RNA-binding sites (RBSs) or provide direct evidence for RNA-binding, which is essential for regulating life phenomena.The publication marks another significant finding from a research team led by Kim V. Narry, director of
Researchers at Severance Hospital have discovered a method to measure the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children by using their stools.The team, led by Professor Cheon Keun-an of the Department of Pediatric Psychiatry, concluded by comparing and analyzing the intestinal microbiome struct
The government should require a bridging trial for Mifegymiso, an abortion pill under the regulator’s review for marketing approval, the Korean Association of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (KSOG) said.Industry watchers had expected that the government could exempt a bridging study because Mifegymiso
Gangnam Severance Hospital said a new, calorie-restricted Korean-style Mediterranean diet (KMD) developed by its researchers helped reduce cardiovascular risk by improving chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and fatty liver.The research team, led by Professor Lee Ji-won of the Department of Fa
Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine was highly effective against the Delta variant in adolescents in Israel, where Covid-19 vaccination for the adolescent population started earlier than in Korea.A research team at Boston Children’s Hospital said it used data from Clalit Health Services, the largest health ca
A bioscience research team at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has developed a next-generation chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy that overcomes immune checkpoint signals.CAR-T cell therapy is a treatment that increases anticancer function by introducing t
A groundbreaking clinical study result has been released, which will change the existing paradigm in conducting antiplatelet treatments after stent procedures to widen the blood vessels of patients hit by an acute myocardial infarction.Researchers at Catholic University of Korea Seoul St. Mary’s Hos
Researchers at Ajou University Hospital have confirmed that the level of the antinuclear antibody (ANA), an autoantibody most frequently found in autoimmune disease patients, significantly increased in the sputum of patients with severe asthma.Autoimmune disease is a phenomenon in which the human bo
Rather than obesity, risk factors for the metabolic syndrome – such as blood sugar, blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and waist circumference – are closely associated with serious complications of Covid-19 patients, local researchers said.The research team of professor Kim Sin-gon of e
Myongji Hospital said Tuesday that it has established an integrated system for Covid-19 home treatment to help asymptomatic or mild patients screen, test, and treat themselves without hospitalization.The hospital, a designated Covid-19 medical institution, has been making all-around responses to the
A research team at Severance Hospital has discovered an immune cell gene signature, which can predict the responses of estimated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR)-mutated lung cancer to immunotherapy.Lung cancer ranks first in the country's cancer mortality rate and occurs either in the lung itself
A research team at Severance Hospital has confirmed that taking immunosuppressants after organ transplantation does not affect the outcome of gastric cancer surgery.Gastric cancer is cancer treated by the excision of cancerous tissue in the stomach. In this process, surgery causes a decrease in immu
Researchers at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH) have confirmed that Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors can increase progression-free survival (PFS) for ovarian cancer, which has a high recurrence rate.Ovarian cancer has a high survival rate of up to 90 percent if detect
The European Society of Cardiology recently announced the new guidelines for the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) using four drug classes.However, local health experts said the guidelines might be “insufficient” to apply to Korean patients.Korean heart failure specia
