Gene variants of Neanderthal associated with greater pain sensitivity; University College London
Researchers discovered that after previously being exposed to mustard oil, those with so-called Neanderthal variations in the sensory neuron-related gene SCN9A are more susceptible to pain from skin pricking. Three mutations in the SCN9A gene, referred to as M932L, V991L, and D1908G, have been found in sequenced Neanderthal genomes and there have been reports of increased pain sensitivity in people who possess all three variants. The precise sensory responses impacted by these variations were unknown, though, until this study.

NASA’s Bennu asteroid sample delivered by the OSIRIS-REx mission contains building blocks of life
The initial analysis took place within weeks using X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and infrared measurements. These produced the 3D computer model of the particles which gave an idea about internal and external structure. This analysis gives the initial data about carbon content and water.
Pleural mesothelioma (PM): New therapeutic approach to chemo-and radiotherapy sensitivity enhancement by Medical University of Vienna
A recent research study led by Karin Schelch and Michael Grusch from MedUni Vienna identified the oncoprotein YB-1 as an attractive therapeutic target in PM and demonstrates that indirect targeting of YB-1 is a promising approach to enhance sensitivity to chemo- and radiotherapy.
