JAX scientists are beginning to understand how #RNA biology affects resistance to #chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia.

In Commencement ceremonies held last week in Bar Harbor, ME and Farmington, CT, members of the Summer Student Program class of 2025 received their certificates of completion and were welcomed into JAX’s SSP alumni community.

Research in the Tarchini lab strives to understand hearing loss by investigating development of the ear in life’s earliest stages. The better to hear you: Unlocking secrets of the inner ear --

“Rare diseases often give us a clear window into the fundamental workings of biology,” says Nadia Rosenthal, JAX scientific director. “And what we see through that window can tell us about much more widespread conditions.”.

In case you missed it: Scientists have corrected gene mutations in mice causing an ultra-rare disease by editing DNA directly in the brain with a single injection, a feat with profound implications for patients with neurological diseases.

Recent research from JAX scientists was featured in this great article from @statnews.

What if routine lab tests could tell doctors if you had a hard-to-diagnose disease like chronic fatigue syndrome or long COVID? In the latest video from our "JAX in Motion" series, hear all about this new research from from JAX Professor Derya Unutmaz.

What if some of the most important insights in your genome have been hidden in plain sight? New research from JAX offers the most complete view of the human genome yet sets new standard for use in precision medicine.

“Some physicians doubt it as a real disease due to the absence of clear laboratory markers, sometimes attributing it to psychological factors," said Unutmaz.

“Our study achieved 90% accuracy in distinguishing individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome, which is significant because doctors currently lack reliable biomarkers for diagnosis,” said study author Derya Unutmaz (@DeryaTR_).

Hope could be in sight for sufferers of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome #MECFS and long COVID. New research shows how the gut microbiome may predict these so-called "invisible" diseases, which are notoriously hard to diagnose.

A member of his high school choir, participant in school musicals and drum major of the marching band, Travis Beckett SSP ’24 planned to major in music — until he scored well on his advanced placement biology exam. He pivoted. Get the details:
