Beneath and beyond the reddish, flaky lesions that form in the skin of those with psoriasis, mild and severe forms of the disease can be told apart by the activity of key cells and signaling pathways, a new study shows. source https://www.news-medical.net/news/20230602/Study-offers-the-most-comprehensive-archive-of-cellular-molecular-features-involved-in-psoriatic-disease.aspx

Our skin contains specialized long-lived killer cells that protect against intruders. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark have now identified how these cells are formed, and shown that high levels of memory killer cells in cancer tissue correlate with a better survival rate in people with melanoma. source https://www.news-medical.net/news/20230602/High-levels-of-memory-killer-cells-correlate-with-better-survival-in-melanoma-patients.aspx

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) recently discovered that extremely thorough "deep sequencing" of the genome in tissue samples and cell-free DNA of patients with potentially life-threatening vascular anomalies captured several genetic variants related to disease that were not captured with conventional genetic sequencing methods. source https://www.news-medical.net/news/20230601/Deep-sequencing-of-the-genome-informs-diagnoses-and-treatment-of-vascular-anomalies.aspx
