First New Subtype of Castleman Disease Discovered in 45 Years

Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 09:00:08 EST

A newly identified subtype of Castleman disease will help diagnose and properly treat thousands of patients who have been caught between existing classification systems, marking the first major discovery of its kind in 45 years. "Oligocentric Castleman Disease" (OligoCD) has been found to be a distinct clinical entity, different from the two previously identified classifications of Castleman Disease. The findings, which redefine the understanding of this rare immune disorder that affects an estimated 4,300 to 5,200 Americans, are published this week in Blood Advances by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

Illinois Leads Most Rigorous Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emissions Study to Date

Mon, 21 Apr 2025 19:20:15 EST

Farmers apply nitrogen fertilizers to crops to boost yields, feeding more people and livestock. But when there's more fertilizer than the crop can take up, some of the excess can be converted into gaseous forms, including nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas that traps nearly 300 times as much heat in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. About 70% of human-caused nitrous oxide comes from agricultural soils, so it's vital to find ways to curb those emissions.

Shouldering the Burden of How to Treat Shoulder Pain

Tufts University — Fri, 18 Apr 2025 20:00:16 EST

One shoulder has four separate joints, packed with muscles, that allow movement of the arm in eight different major ways, giving the most degrees of freedom of any joint in the body. But the same complexity that allows such motion also presents opportunities for pain when something goes wrong.

Scientists Identify Agent of Transformation In Protein Blobs That Morph From Liquid to Solid

Rutgers University-New Brunswick — Fri, 18 Apr 2025 15:00:00 EST

An international research collaboration led by Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists that examined microscopic blobs of protein found in human cells has discovered that some morph from an almost honey-like substance to a hard candy-like solid. These mysterious droplets, known as biomolecular condensates, solidify when they carry a high proportion of the protein alpha-synuclein, the scientists reported in Science Advances. Clumps of alpha-synuclein are commonly found in the brain cells of people with Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative brain disorder.
