Reuters: Vaping increases the risk of lung disease by a third: U.S. study

The honor recognizes Der's contributions to cancer research. His lab's recent findings on pancreatic cancer have led to clinical studies of a new treatment.

Brian Strahl, PhD, is a UNC Lineberger member and professor of biochemistry and biophysics in the UNC School of Medicine

Scientists from the UNC School of Medicine and Stanford University have uncovered what may be a fundamental biological mechanism that helps organisms adapt to rapid changes to nutrients in their environments. In a study published in Molecular Cell, the scientists found that a chemical mark on histones – a key protein involved in the function of our …

A University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center-led research team has used genetic insights about head and neck cancers linked to HPV, or human papillomavirus, to improve laboratory tools for studying the disease. Leveraging their discovery that different subtypes of HPV-linked oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma exist based on the expression levels of two different …

UNC Lineberger's Timothy Gershon, MD, PhD, and Jennifer Ocasio, PhD, who identified a possible approach to blocking medulloblastoma brain tumor

UNC Lineberger researchers have identified a potential approach to stop the growth of medulloblastoma, the most common type of brain tumor in children.

UNC Lineberger’s Wesley Legant, PhD, assistant professor in the UNC-NC State Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Pharmacology, received a prestigious Packard Fellowship to enhance his research on new kinds of microscopy techniques to further biomedical discoveries at the UNC School of Medicine and beyond. Legant was one of 22 early-career scientists …

UNC Lineberger’s Greg Wang, PhD, has been honored as one of four recipients of this year’s Phillip and Ruth Hettleman Prizes for Artistic and Scholarly Achievement. The late Phillip Hettleman, a member of the UNC-Chapel Hill class of 1921, and his wife, Ruth, established the prestigious award in 1986 to recognize the achievements of outstanding junior faculty. The recipients …

E-cigarette usage may impair fertility and pregnancy outcomes, according to a study Kathleen Caron, PhD, and colleagues published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society.

E-cigarette “vaping” is widely assumed to be safer than cigarette smoking, but scientists at the University of North Carolina have uncovered evidence suggesting that vaping promotes the same cellular responses found in smokers with emphysema. In a study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, the UNC scientists found that the lungs of vapers …
