A new take on treating pancreatic cancer shows promise

Unlike many other cancers, most pancreatic tumors are rock hard. “That’s one reason why pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal types of cancer,” says Kenneth Olive, PhD, associate professor of medicine and pathology & cell biology at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and a pancreatic cancer researcher at the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer

A robotic cane assists those with impaired mobility

Device acts as a cane-like mobile assistant to provide light-touch to help the elderly and others with impaired mobility By adding electronics and computation technology to a simple cane that has been around since ancient times, a team of researchers at Columbia Engineering have transformed it into a 21st century robotic device that can provide light-touch

Personalized cancer treatment that matches individual tumors with the drugs or drug combinations that are most likely to kill them

Researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) have developed a highly innovative computational framework that can support personalized cancer treatment by matching individual tumors with the drugs or drug combinations that are most likely to kill them. The study, online today in Nature Genetics , by Dr. Andrea Califano of Columbia University Irving Medical

Safe for human exposure, far-UVC light may offer low-cost solution to eradicating airborne viruses in indoor public spaces

Continuous low doses of far ultraviolet C (far-UVC) light can kill airborne flu viruses without harming human tissues, according to a new study at the Center for Radiological Research at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC). The findings suggest that use of overhead far-UVC light in hospitals, doctors’ offices, schools, airports, airplanes, and other public spaces could

Narrow-Spectrum UV Light May Reduce Surgical Infections

Destroys drug-resistant bacteria but safe for human exposure Despite major efforts to keep operating rooms sterile, surgical wound infections remain a serious and stubborn problem, killing up to 8,200 patients a year in the U.S. A study by Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) researchers suggests that narrow-spectrum ultraviolet (UV) light could dramatically reduce such infections

A Major Cause of Age-Related Memory Loss Identified

Study points to possible treatments and confirms distinction between memory loss due to aging and that of Alzheimer’s A team of Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) researchers, led by Nobel laureate Eric R. Kandel, MD, has found that deficiency of a protein called RbAp48 in the hippocampus is a significant contributor to age-related memory loss

Scientists develop a biodegradable nanoparticle that effectively resolves inflammation

Clearing up inflammation with pro-resolving nanomedicines Inflammation is the body’s natural defense mechanism against invading organisms and tissue injury. In acute inflammation, the pathogen or inflammatory mediators are cleared away and homeostasis is reached, however in chronic inflammatory states, this resolving response is impaired, leading to chronic inflammation and tissue damage. It is now widely
