Researchers have discovered a simple way to keep stem cells in a more flexible state for research and potential treatments.

… Thursday, June 27, 2019 Summary Stem cells that are pluripotent can develop into any cell type. These stem cells are easier to work with in their earlier naive state of pluripotency. Researchers have discovered that a commonly used fat-free culture medium can shift human stem cells closer to this naive

Up to 20 percent of people over the age of 70 have clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), a condition that carries twice the risk of coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke, and worse outcomes after heart failure — independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors.

在 70 岁以上的人群中，高达 20% 的人有不确定潜能的克隆性造血 (CHIP)，这种情况会带来双倍冠心病和缺血性中风风险，并且导致心力衰竭后预后更差 — 无论传统的心血管风险因素如何。

… Tuesday, October 8, 2019 在 70 岁以上的人群中，高达 20% 的人有不确定潜能的克隆性造血 (CHIP)，这种情况会带来双倍冠心病和缺血性中风风险，并且导致心力衰竭后预后更差 — 无论传统的心血管风险因素如何。 该状况包括由造血干细胞中的体细胞突变引起的外周血突变白细胞。随着人口老龄化的增长，越来越多 CHIP 患者将前往心血管医生处就诊。 就使用 CHIP 筛查、评估和管理患者的最佳方法，仍存在一些疑问。我们和其他癌症研究中心的同事们一起，最近在 《美国心脏病学会杂志》 上发表了一篇论文。我们在论文中对 CHIP 进行了说明，回顾了一些临床问题，为 CHIP 患者的心血管风险管理提供了一些合理化建议

Help save lives. Get immunized.

… Friday, December 18, 2020 Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Healthcare Heroes are rolling up their sleeves to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. COVID-19 vaccination is our best shot at controlling/ ending this global pandemic and helping protect our immunocompromised patients, their families, MSK staff, and

Researchers at the Sloan Kettering Institute have found that gut microbes shape the immune system of mice in an unexpected way.

… Wednesday, May 12, 2021 The immune system’s main job is identifying things that can make us sick. In the language of immunology, this means distinguishing “self” from “non-self”: The cells of our organs are self, while disease-causing bacteria and viruses are non-self. But what about the billions of

He feels so strongly about this idea that several years ago, he sought out negotiation experts from Harvard Business School and asked to learn techniques he

Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) reported results, which were highlighted at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) press cast, that eight weeks of acupuncture or cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) decreased the severity of insomnia in cancer survivors. While both acupuncture and CBT-I resulted in clinically meaningful and durable effects among this group, CBT-I was more effective, especially among people with mild insomnia symptoms.
