Highlights

NYU School of Medicine: Three-Dimensional-Printed Implants Shown to Help Grow ‘Real Bone’
Chemically coated, ceramic implants successfully guided the regrowth of missing bone in lab animals while “steadily dissolving,” researchers report. Take a closer look.
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai: “Your Physical Exam Just Got A High-Tech Upgrade” – Christina Farr
Most of us do not look forward to our annual physical. It’s something to be endured, rather than enjoyed. But that could change. Over the past few years, Mount Sinai has been incubating a program called Lab100 that aims to reinvent the health checkup. Take a closer look.

Cancer

Stony Brook Medicine: First in-Human Clinical Trial Targeting CD4 Protein For Aggressive T-CELL Leukemia And Lymphoma to be Launched
Stony Brook University, iCell Gene Therapeutics, and the University of Louisville, have received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for an Investigational New Drug (IND) for the treatment of relapsed and refractory T-cell leukemia and lymphoma. Take a closer look.
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Researchers Create RNA and DNA-Sequencing Platform to Match Broader Swath of Cancer Drugs to Patients With Few Options
A comprehensive RNA and DNA sequencing platform benefits late-stage and drug-resistant multiple myeloma patients by determining which drugs would work best for them, according to results from a clinical trial published in JCO Precision Oncology in August. Take a closer look.
Weill Cornell Medicine: Immunotherapies in Early-Stage Lung Cancer Show Promising Effects
Treating early-stage lung cancers with drugs that unleash the immune system’s ability to attack malignant cells may hinder tumor growth and improve overall survival, according to new research by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investigators. Take a closer look.

Neurology

Albert Einstein College of Medicine: Soccer Heading Worse for Women’s Brains Than for Men’s
Women’s brains are much more vulnerable than men’s to injury from repeated soccer heading, according to a new study by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, part of Montefiore.  Take a closer look.
Jacobs School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at University at Buffalo: Comprehensive Study of 21 Retired NFL and NHL Players Doesn’t Find Evidence of Early Onset Dementia
UB researchers compared retired Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres players to non-contact sport athletes. New University at Buffalo research is adding important information to the body of knowledge about the cognitive and behavioral status of a group of retired professional athletes who spent their careers in contact sports.  Take a closer look.
NYU School of Medicine: Past Experiences Shape What we See More Than What we Are Looking at Now
A rope coiled on dusty trail may trigger a frightened jump by a hiker who recently stepped on a snake. Now a new study better explains how a one-time visual experience can shape perceptions afterward.Take a closer look.

Cardiology

Weill Cornell Medicine: Study Finds TAVR Requires More Research
A minimally invasive procedure to replace the heart’s aortic valve has recently increased in popularity despite a lack of research on the new valves’ long-term durability, according to a new study from Weill Cornell Medicine. The investigators say their findings may be a cause for concern for patients under the age of 65. Take a closer look.

Other Studies

SUNY Upstate Medical University: Researchers Discover Key Link in Understanding Sleep Disorders
Researchers at Upstate Medical University and Penn State Medical Center have discovered a key link to potentially understanding sleep disorders in children, according to a study just published in the journal PLOS One. Take a closer look.
Albert Einstein College of Medicine: A Major Step in Developing an Effective Ebola Therapy
In a paper published online on August 9 in Cell, 48 collaborating authors from 23 institutions and companies, including Albert Einstein College of Medicine, made significant strides towards understanding how monoclonal antibodies work to defeat Ebola virus.   Take a closer look.
Jacobs School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at University at Buffalo: New Drug Target for Remyelination in MS is Identified by UB Researchers
Remyelination, the spontaneous regeneration of the fatty insulator in the brain that keeps neurons communicating, has long been seen as crucial to the next big advance in treating multiple sclerosis (MS). However, a lack of understanding of how remyelination is stymied in the disease has hampered these efforts. Take a closer look.

Grants

New York Medical College: Bridge and Seed Funding Grants Awarded 
Researchers at New York Medical College (NYMC) and throughout the Touro College and University System (TCUS) are the recipients of bridge and seed grants supporting their research for the 2018-2019 year. The bridge grants sustain research projects between larger grant funding, while seed grants enable researchers to gather initial data. Take a closer look.
