The University of Cincinnati's researchers have created a similar strategy for treating cancer, connecting cancer cells to potent radiation therapy with bacteria acting as the adaptor.
In a recent study, an international team of researchers found that those who get low doses of ionising radiation had a slightly increased lifetime risk of acquiring heart disease.
Two distinct subtypes of insulin-producing beta cells, or ss cells, have been discovered by a team of researchers led by scientists from the Van Andel Institute and Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics. Each of these ss cell subtypes possesses critical traits that may be use
Concerns about the potential health effects of phthalates, a component of many plastics and also known as a plasticizer, have prompted a search for safer substitutes. In a new study performed in cell cultures, researchers found that the chemical acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) may not be the
The findings of researchers at Rutgers, the University of Michigan, the University of Texas Southwestern, and the Medical University of South Carolina could save lives by allowing for the faster and more accurate identification of hospitalised patients who require liver transplants or are li
Researchers in a study revealed that the painful and frequently disabling joint condition osteoarthritis may be more common in those with atopic (allergic) disorders like asthma or eczema.
According to a recent study, four biomarkers that can be easily measured through a simple blood test exhibit certain patterns in people who are now experiencing or are at high risk for post-traumatic stress disorder. The results indicate that these biomarkers might be employed to identify PT
Many vaccines contain compounds known as adjuvants in addition to an antigen that stimulates the immune system. A Chinese research team has now created two novel broad-spectrum adjuvants that can dramatically boost the immune response to vaccines using computer-aided molecular design and ma
According to a study, individuals who have been virally suppressed for years on antiretroviral medication may contain HIV in a subpopulation of white blood cells known as myeloid cells. Researchers demonstrated in the study that HIV can be reactivated and infect new cells in certain myeloid
Researchers have discovered that people with depression and anxiety who experienced a traumatic childhood often grow up to be angry adults, and the more severe the trauma, the more furious the adult. In addition to having an impact on social interactions and mental health, this makes treatin
