Youth who underwent metabolic and bariatric surgery as teenagers are at heightened risk for alcohol use, according to the first study to document long-term alcohol use and associated issues in this population. Researchers found that after eight years, nearly half of the study participants ha
Researchers are devising a way to track and measure how fish, being one of the world's most-traded commodities, moves from the water to the plate within a country.
Nature-based solutions to fight climate change take a holistic approach that promotes biodiversity and ecosystem preservation. While many efforts have focused on planting trees or restoring wetlands, researchers publishing in Trends in Ecology and Evolution on December 15 advocate for the im
Scientists have identified a clue to the molecular origin of Alzheimer's disease--a clue that may also explain why women are more susceptible to the disease.
Patients with treatment-resistant depression have a 23 per cent higher risk of death than other depressed patients. They also have twice as much outpatient care and spend three times the number of days in inpatient care. These are findings of a new study published in JAMA Psychiatry by resea
How are galaxies born, and what holds them together? Astronomers assume that dark matter plays an essential role. However, as yet it has not been possible to prove directly that dark matter exists. A research team including Technical University of Munich (TUM) scientists has now measured for
According to a study published in Science Advances, researchers discovered that the brains of women had significantly higher amounts of a modified immune protein which could signal the existence of Alzheimer's.
In a new study, researchers have taken a close look at three treatment approaches that have been widely believed to slow the aging process. However, when tested in mice, these treatments proved largely ineffective in their supposed impact on aging.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the fifth leading cause of death in adults over 65 years old. While many potential treatments for neurodegenerative disease focus on developing drugs to target key culprits, a relatively new approach aims to treat the brain.
London [UK], December 14 (ANI/NewsVoir): MIT Square London is actively involved in building global partnerships to connect institutions and industries with researchers and professors to build sustainable solutions for the community.
In a global study, researchers have identified that most reservoirs of rodent-borne diseases tend to live exclusively or occasionally in or near human dwellings, show large fluctuations in their numbers, and/or are hunted for meat or fur.
Researchers have engineered molecules that act like 'cellular glue,' allowing them to direct in a precise fashion how cells bond with each other. The discovery represents a major step toward building tissues and organs, a long-sought goal of regenerative medicine.
