Os protocolos de rastreio atuais não conseguem detectar um número notável de pessoas portadoras de mutações genéticas associadas à síndrome de câncer hereditário da mama e do ovário e à síndrome de Lynch, que aumentam o risco de desenvolver certos tipos de câncer. Esta questão é principalmente acentuada entre as minorias sub-representadas.

Improving human quality of life with drug treatments is a complicated issue. Drug certification, including drug safety and reliability, entails a long series of tests and government approvals before the drug is available for anyone to use. Testing drugs is challenged by ethical and biological concerns. Testing new drugs on humans is usually part of a clinical trial and occurs near the end of a drug's path to public use.
Native trees adapt to the climate and environmental conditions of their area to survive. Researchers in the College of Natural Resources and Environment in collaboration with the American Chestnut Foundation confirmed this by examining the genome of American chestnut trees sampled throughout the Appalachian Mountain range and grouping the samples according to their specific environmental region.

Drunken driving claims 37 lives daily in the U.S. with teen and young adult drivers disproportionately involved. Niyousha Hosseinichimeh in Virginia Tech's College of Engineering has partnered with researchers across the U.S. to create a simulation model — the first of its kind in adolescent drunken driving prevention — that examines how numerous public health interventions affect fatalities.
The reintroduction of the Second Chance Pell Grant has prompted research on the effectiveness of prison school courses. This research delves into the value of higher education offerings within the prison system and whether it can reduce recidivism.
The effectiveness of CAR T cell therapy against a variety of cancers, including solid tumors, could be boosted greatly by using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to knock out the gene for CD5, a protein found on the surface of T cells, according to a preclinical study from investigators at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine and Abramson Cancer Center.
One in eight new moms will experience sadness, hopelessness, and feelings of overwhelm in the first year after having a baby, a statistic that is even higher for those with newborns receiving emergency services. Beyond the “baby blues,” perinatal mood and anxiety disorders - often referred to under the umbrella term “postpartum depression” - are serious illnesses that can have significant and lasting impact on the patient, infant, and family.
