While previous studies have linked commercial dietary supplements like nicotinamide riboside (NR), a form of vitamin B3, to benefits related to cardiovascular, metabolic and neurological health, new research from the University of Missouri has found NR could actually increase the risk of ser
Our brains "time-stamp" the order of incoming sounds, allowing us to correctly process the words that we hear, shows a new study by a team of psychology and linguistics researchers. Its findings, which appear in the journal Nature Communications, offer new insights into the intricacies of ne
According to a new study led by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Brigham and Women's Hospital, healthier plant-based dietary habits were associated with better environmental health, whereas less healthy plant-based dietary patterns, which are higher in foods like
Some medications for these illnesses dissolve in water, making it impossible to carry them through the intestines, which process food and drink. As a result, these medications can't be taken by mouth. But UCR researchers have developed a chemical "tag" that can be attached to these medicatio
Disease, poor food, smoking, and other lifestyle factors all hasten biological ageing beyond chronological age. In other words, you're ageing more quickly than you should be. And for the first time, researchers have discovered a link between accelerated biological age and muscle weakness ind
Investigators have reported an experimental therapeutic cancer vaccine induced two distinct and desirable immune system responses that led to significant tumor regression in mice.
Researchers found that how pills can help cancer and diabetic patients to manage their ailments instead of needles and injections. UCR scientists have created a chemical "tag" that can be added to these drugs, allowing them to enter blood circulation via the intestines.
Small amounts of the metal copper are required by human cells to perform essential biological functions. The conclusion drawn from studies demonstrating higher copper levels in tumor cells and blood serum from cancer patients is that cancer cells require more copper than healthy cells.
