Hearing loss can occur when any component of the ear or the nerves that transmit sound information to the brain do not function normally. Researchers shed light on the treatment on long-term hearing loss treatment.
Besides the skin, the digestive tract is the tissue that is most exposed to environmental influences such as bacteria and viruses. Therefore, cells that form these barriers to the interior of the body also have special defence mechanisms. A research team led by Professor Dr Thorsten Hoppe ha
A study supports the idea that some T cells that react to microbes also may react to normal human proteins, causing autoimmune disease. The findings promise to accelerate efforts to improve diagnostic tools and treatments for autoimmune diseases.
Researchers examine the local communication between endothelial cells and tumors cells and its effects on endothelial cell orientation. The approach uses co-cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells and breast epithelial tumor cell lines to simulate the tumor-endothelial interaction. T
A new study led by the University of Bonn has now discovered a mechanism that lets nerve cells autonomously regulate their sensitivity to incoming signals.
A novel mechanism that allows cancer cells to spread throughout the body has been discovered by an international team of researchers, offering a potential new target to halt metastasis, which is to blame for 90 per cent of cancer deaths.
Researchers are using a natural material derived from seaweed to promote vascular cell growth, prevent blood clots and improve the performance of synthetic vascular grafts used in heart bypass surgery.
Study disocveered that blood-brain barrier has long been recognised for its capacity to maintain exact control over which molecules can enter the nervous system, little is known about how the cells that make up the barrier affect how the nervous system works.
According to study, obesity is a serious illness that can result in cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, and chronic inflammation. For this reason, researchers have long been attempting to find effective treatments.
Karolinska Institutet researchers have demonstrated that B lymphocytes, on which the efficient operation of the immune system depends, can occasionally cause more harm than good since their numbers sharply increase following intestinal trauma, impeding the healing process.
More than 70% of adults will experience at least one traumatic experience, such as a life-threatening illness or accident, violent assault or natural disaster, in their lifetimes and nearly a third will experience four or more, according to global data.
