Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), two of the founding institutions of Mass General Brigham, have discovered the metabolic mechanisms Clostridioides difficile uses to quickly invade the gut.
The 'meal-recall effect', or remembering a recent meal, might restrict how much food a person consumes later. Researchers from the University of Cambridge investigated the effect on meal-recall of believing that a recent meal was twice as big and gratifying as reality or recalling a recent m
A chemical compound that may be used to treat a number of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, has been discovered by Japanese researchers. As the immune system of the body fails, several diseases might arise.
A conductive polymer covering known as HOS-PFM, developed by Berkeley Lab researchers, may enable more potent, long-lasting lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.
According to researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, rates of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes continue to increase in children and young adults. Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic children and young adults also had higher incidence rates of diabetes.
The ability to walk to a nearby grocery store may be a crucial factor in determining how much weight a patient loses over the long run after bariatric surgery.
Smoke from a wildfire may travel to great heights and linger there for up to a year. The protective ozone layer that shields the Earth from the sun's harmful UV rays while suspended there may be eroded by these particles, revealed a recent MIT study.
A damaged optic nerve underlies the neurodegenerative illness glaucoma, which results in visual loss and eventual blindness. Glaucoma affects more than 2,00,000 persons in the United States annually. Regrettably, there is no cure at this time. Researchers discovered that neurons use mitochon
A portion of a protein that may hold the key to identifying planets on the edge of supporting life has been discovered by a group of Rutgers researchers working to identify the earliest beginnings of metabolism, the set of fundamental chemical events that originally powered life on Earth.
According to the IIT Roorkee statement, the molecule, discovered after a rigorous screening process, has shown potent antibacterial activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including some of the most problematic drug-resistant strains.
The many gingival fibres that connect the tooth to the gingiva, the tissue region that surrounds our teeth, allow healthy teeth to firmly rest in the gums. Fibroblasts, which are cells that help connective tissue form, are found in the gingiva. Researchers from Tohoku University have shown t
