The capacity of the immune system to respond to spinal cord injuries declines with ageing, according to new research, which also reveals potential ways to enhance that response and speed up patient recovery.
Throughout development and adolescence, the brain is constantly changing. Neuropsychiatric illnesses, such as schizophrenia, frequently emerge in early adulthood. During this stage of development, the dopamine system, which is required for cognitive processing and decision-making, begins to
Researchers discovered that 42 percent of patients with metastatic brain cancer benefited from the immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab in a phase 2 clinical study, with seven patients living for more than two years. The authors emphasise that these advantages must be balanced against t
A new risk to the ecosystems of North American forests is beech leaf disease. Twelve more US states and Canadian provinces have already experienced its spread since it was initially identified in northern Ohio in 2012. The diseased and dying trees were initially diagnosed based only on their
Researchers found how carbon-hydrogen bonds of alkanes break and how the catalyst works in this reaction.
The study was published in the journal, 'Science'.
A study discovered that when ribociclib, a targeted therapy medicine, is added to hormone treatment, patients with early hormone-receptor (HR) positive/HER2 negative breast cancer had a substantial invasive disease-free survival advantage.
Two new investigations carried out by global scientists combine genome sequencing of over 800 individuals from 233 primate species, covering nearly half of all existing primate species on Earth, with the study of fossil remains and multiplying by four-fold the number of primate genomes avail
Researchers found Black holes will eventually evaporate due to Hawking radiation, but the event horizon is not as important as previously thought.
New theoretical research from Radboud University's Michael Wondrak, Walter van Suijlekom, and Heino Falcke has shown that Stephen Hawking was pa
What the project also reveals is the enduring allure of Dubai - a city that many in the around the world want to visit, study or work in, or even settle down in one day. This is particularly true of Arabs from around the region, making the UAE their home. The Emirates as a whole was chosen a
According to the researchers, cutting carrots on wood and plastic boards can generate tens of millions of microparticles every year. A toxicity test, however, revealed that polyethene or wood microparticles emitted during chopping had no significant influence on mouse cell viability.
Losing loved ones may have a significant impact on both psychological and physical health. The University of Arizona researched the influence of grief on heart function and discovered that intense grieving might induce a significant increase in blood pressure. According to the data, grieving
