Determining an individual's blood group based on genetic tests instead of merely traditional blood tests can provide a better picture of the risk of cardiovascular diseases. If a patient has two genetic variants of A, B or AB, the risk is twice as high compared with if one is O. This is the
Skin scars began to behave more like uninjured skin after being treated with hair follicle transplants, according to a new study. Scarred skin grew new cells and blood vessels, remodelled collagen to restore healthy patterns, and even expressed genes found in healthy, unscarred skin.
A new study based on 297 ancient Scandinavian genomes analysed together with the genomic data of 16,638 present-day Scandinavians resolve the complex relations between geography, ancestry, and gene flow in Scandinavia, encompassing the Roman Age, the Viking Age and later periods. A surprisin
A new study has found that including climate impact labels on a sample fast food menu influenced participants' food choices in favour of more climate-friendly items. The study was led by a researcher at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
According to a new study led by UCL researchers, people who travel beyond the region of their localities feel healthier than those who remain closer to their homes.
A new study suggests that therapeutic interventions to treat neurodevelopmental disorders may be more effective if done during the early stages of brain development.
Air pollution has been widely associated with an increased risk of stroke. A new study looks at the role of air pollution on the trajectory of stroke, including cardiovascular events after first stroke and death. The study is published in the September 28, 2022, online issue of Neurology
As with pinene, many monoterpenes occur in two mirror-image forms: (+) alpha-pinene and (-) alpha-pinene. Plants can release both forms of these volatile molecules directly after biosynthesis or from storage pools in leaves. Because the two chiral or enantiomeric forms have identical physica
Covid-19 transmission can be more accurately modelled by incorporating meteorological factors, with ultraviolet (UV) radiation as the main driver, according to a new study.
A new study from researchers at Michigan State University underscores that there's still much to learn regarding how plants will function, and how nutritious they will be, as more carbon enters our atmosphere.
Nano-sized membrane bubbles known as extracellular vesicles activate the immune system in mice and seem to render their tumours sensitive to a type of immunotherapy drug called a checkpoint inhibitor. This is according to a new study published in Cancer Immunology Research by researchers at
