Determining an individual’s risk of developing diabetic kidney disease is an important clinical need to which a new computational model may contribute.
Researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) have developed a computational approach to predict whether a person with type 2 diabetes will develop kidney disease, a common and dangerous complication of the disease. Their results, published in ‘Nature Communications’, may help prevent or better control kidney disease…
What links heart health to CKD?
They find links between heart disease and chronic kidney disease.
A software to optimize cancer treatment
Computational biology makes it possible to classify and analyze the information contained in thousands of patients’ genes and has served to develop personalized medicine.
reduce the dosage of hormones in contraceptives
A computational model suggests that the hormone dose of regular contraceptives can be reduced by up to 92% and still effectively suppress ovulation.
New computational models improve approach to abdominal aortic aneurysm
A computational model of the cardiovascular system has been developed to predict the early rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and to monitor the condition of patients’ blood vessels.
New model to identify cause of osteoarthritis in each patient
A study defines a new computational model that simulates communication between proteins within jointed cells.
Genetic causes of three hitherto unexplained rare diseases revealed
Three previously unknown genetic causes of rare diseases have been discovered: primary lymphedema, thoracic aortic aneurysm disease, and congenital deafness.
