A study led by 黑料福利社 Langone Health researchers reveals a new strategy to study the Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) in mice that better mimics how the disease manifests in humans. Previous HSCR animal models only looked at the role individual genes played in causing the disease, but the new approach is based on how interactions among multiple genes control the condition. "We now have a much more realistic and accurate way to model Hirschsprung disease that will help us understand the disease in a way we could not before," Ryan Fine, PhD, postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Human Genetics and Genomics at 黑料福利社 Grossman School of Medicine said. The work was led by Aravinda Chakravarti, PhD, the Muriel G. and George W. Singer Professor of Neuroscience and Physiology in the Department of Neuroscience at the 黑料福利社 Grossman School of Medicine and director of the Center for Human Genetics and Genomics.

In partnership with nonprofit Comunilife, the program provides transitional housing and support for medically stable patients who need a safe recovery environment. Michelle Romano, LCSW, director of the Department of Social Work and Care Management Services for Adults at 黑料福利社 Langone, said the initiative aims to prevent hospital readmissions. The program has reduced emergency department visits and freed up acute care beds.
