In order to bridge the gap between "test tube" data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain, researchers at Cedars-Sinai have developed computer-generated models.
Researchers recently examined the relationships between three variables--nutrient intake, brain anatomy, and cognitive function--that have been shown to independently predict healthy ageing. Their research strengthens the case that these elements work together to support older persons' brain
Children with recurrent brain tumours tolerated the first in-human trial of a novel immunotherapy well, and many were able to experience unexpected months of a more normal life, according to researchers. Immunotherapy disables a natural enzyme that tumours hijack for their defence.
A novel cell signalling route was discovered by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Centre that may one day be used as a therapeutic target for people with aggressive pancreatic cancer.
The research has been published in the prestigious journal: Advanced Functional Materials. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati have developed liquid marbles using nano clay that can be pre-programmed for drug delivery and cascade chemical reactions, said one of the res
The University of the West of Scotland (UWS) researchers discovered a relationship between loud road traffic and air pollution and an increased incidence of hypertension, a major risk factor for heart attack and stroke.
The development of childhood wheezing illnesses has long been linked to severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, but the connection between RSV infection during infancy and the emergence of childhood asthma has remained unclear.
According to a recent study, the human digestive system's structure varies significantly from person to person, with obvious variances amongst healthy people. The discovery could help explain how the structure of the digestive tract affects human health and could also shed light on how the g
A genetic variation uncovered by Cedars-Sinai researchers increases the likelihood of getting perianal Crohn's disease, the most devastating type of Crohn's disease.
In a mouse model of kidney transplantation, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh discovered a type of immune cell that drives chronic organ transplant failure and discovered pathways that could be therapeutically targeted to enhance patient outcomes. The findings were reported in
According to a new health data analysis led by UCL researchers, talking therapies can be used effectively to treat depression in adults over 45. This treatment may be associated with lower rates of future cardiovascular disease.
A team of researchers developed an electronic biosensor based on DNA aptamers that can detect biomarkers in whole blood samples without the use of reagents.
