A Mount Sinai research team has identified one of the mechanisms that establish the skin as a protective barrier, a breakthrough that is critical to understanding and treating common skin conditions including eczema and psoriasis. A Mount Sinai research team has identified one of the mechanisms that establish the skin as a protective barrier, a breakthrough that is critical to understanding and treating common skin conditions including eczema and psoriasis. One of the most important roles of the skin is to act as a barrier that prevents water loss and protects the skin from pathogens. Failure of this protective function contributes to dermatological diseases. The research team led by Sarah E. Millar, Ph.D., Director of the Black Family Stem Cell Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, found that the scaffolding protein,  histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3), is essential for proper skin development and barrier formation. Dr. Millar joins Dr. Roizen to talk about her team's findings and what they mean for those suffering from some skin conditions.  Want better health and nutrition?

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. and most who are diagnosed with lung cancer do not survive five years. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. and most who are diagnosed with lung cancer do not survive five years.  In some cases, surgery can remove the primary tumor, but investigators from the University of Missouri School of Medicine and MU Health Care have identified a type of cell fusion between cancer cells and white blood cells called a tumor-macrophage fusion (TMF) where the size and number of the TMF cells may predict survival. Dr. Jussuf Kaifi is an assistant professor of surgery at the MU School of Medicine and MU Health Care. He and his team of researchers studied non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)  patients over three years and compared them to chronic, long-term smokers without lung cancer and healthy non-smokers without any known cancer.  He joins Dr. Roizen this episode to talk about this research and its findings.
