| Posted: 19 Jul 2022 10:02 AM PDT Scientists report a new way to test vaccines that may be as rigorous and stringent as exposure to field strains of malaria. |
| Novel HIV combination therapies could prevent viral escape and rebound Posted: 19 Jul 2022 08:34 AM PDT Carefully designed cocktails of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) could help treat HIV while minimizing the risk of the virus escaping treatment, suggests a new study. |
| Posted: 19 Jul 2022 06:12 AM PDT Researchers developed a new approach using artificial intelligence to automate the design of individualised dentures, in order to enhance the treatment efficiency and improve patient experience. |
| Vitamin B6 supplements could reduce anxiety and depression Posted: 19 Jul 2022 06:12 AM PDT Trial participants reported feeling less anxious or depressed after taking high doses of Vitamin B6 for a month. The trial provides evidence that the calming effect B6 has on the brain could make it effective in preventing or treating mood disorders. |
| 'Junk' DNA could lead to cancer by stopping copying of DNA Posted: 19 Jul 2022 06:11 AM PDT Scientists have found that non-coding 'junk' DNA, far from being harmless and inert, could potentially contribute to the development of cancer. |
| Diverse nurse workforce linked to better maternal health outcomes in childbirth Posted: 19 Jul 2022 06:11 AM PDT A new study provides robust evidence to support diversifying the healthcare workforce as a remedy for addressing racial and ethnic disparities in maternal health outcomes, and a call to action to improve maternal health. The researchers focused on registered nurses in particular because they are critical for comprehensive maternal healthcare, and are the frontline healthcare providers involved in the early recognition of warning signs for maternal complications. Delayed recognition of these warning signs has been repeatedly identified as a major contributor to preventable maternal deaths. |
| Mother's immune cells appear to exacerbate complications of preeclampsia Posted: 19 Jul 2022 06:11 AM PDT T-cells, immune cells that normally protect us, appear to play a key role in the development of preeclampsia, says a young scientist who wants to find a better way to intervene in the syndrome that can have lifelong consequences for mother and child. |
| Discovery advancing epilepsy research Posted: 18 Jul 2022 03:10 PM PDT A team of researchers has found a link between a specific protein in the brain and increased vulnerability to neurodegeneration for individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). |
| Posted: 18 Jul 2022 03:10 PM PDT Researchers have used advanced techniques to show that, in a key memory region of the brain called the hippocampus, immature, plastic neurons are present in significant numbers throughout the human lifespan. The findings may resolve a long-running controversy over the existence of 'adult neurogenesis'-- the production of new immature neurons in the mature human brain. The discovery also paves the way for the deeper study of adult neurogenesis and its roles in memory, mood, behavior, and brain disorders. |
| Loss of 'youth' protein may drive aging in the eye Posted: 18 Jul 2022 03:09 PM PDT Loss of the protein pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), which protects retinal support cells, may drive age-related changes in the retina, according to a new study. |
| Researcher uses graphene for same-time, same-position biomolecule isolation and sensing Posted: 18 Jul 2022 12:43 PM PDT New research has overcome a major challenge to isolating and detecting molecules at the same time and at the same location in a microdevice. The work demonstrates an important advance in using graphene for electrokinetic biosample processing and analysis and could allow lab-on-a-chip devices to become smaller and achieve results faster. |
| Brains of children with autism may not always 'see' body language, study finds Posted: 18 Jul 2022 12:43 PM PDT Researchers have found that children with autism spectrum disorder may not always process body movements effectively, especially if they are distracted by something else. |
| Houston residents' chemical exposure increased post-Hurricane Harvey, study finds Posted: 18 Jul 2022 11:35 AM PDT Researchers used silicone wristbands to measure Houston residents' increased exposure to hazardous chemicals in the wake of Hurricane Harvey in 2017. |
| Posted: 18 Jul 2022 09:23 AM PDT Scientists have revealed a novel ADAR1-SIRT1-p16INK4a axis in regulating cellular senescence and its potential implications in tissue aging. |
| Researchers develop liquid biopsy technique to help detect cancer in blood Posted: 18 Jul 2022 09:22 AM PDT Researchers have found a new way to track metastatic cancer cells in the body, which in the future could help identify cancer earlier and give patients more treatment options. |
| Cooperation among strangers has increased since the 1950s Posted: 18 Jul 2022 06:45 AM PDT Despite common concerns that the social fabric is fraying, cooperation among strangers has gradually increased in the U.S. since the 1950s, according to new research. |
| Just half of parents recognize screen time impact on children's eye health Posted: 18 Jul 2022 06:45 AM PDT Most parents overlook simple steps to protect children's eyes. |
| Scientists reveal new evidence of key mechanism in Alzheimer's Posted: 18 Jul 2022 06:45 AM PDT Rutgers scientists have found more clear-cut evidence of how the destructive proteins linked to Alzheimer's disease attack human brain cells and destroy surrounding tissue. |
| Prognosis of prostate cancer patients improved Posted: 18 Jul 2022 06:45 AM PDT Prostate cancer is a common form of cancer. Researchers have now discovered a faster and easier way to determine who has an aggressive form of cancer, and who has not. |
| Air pollution caused 2,780 deaths, illnesses, and IQ loss in children in Massachusetts in 2019 Posted: 18 Jul 2022 06:44 AM PDT Air pollution, climate change, and public health are closely linked, as a new study shows. The report details on a town-by-town basis the deaths and illnesses caused by air pollution in Massachusetts, and also outlines steps to curb fine particulate pollutants. Nationally, the study offers a model that can be followed by other states using public data and open-source software, according to a public health expert and practitioner. |
| Anti-rejection medication and immunotherapy kicks cancer and protects kidney transplants Posted: 18 Jul 2022 06:44 AM PDT Adding immunotherapy to standard anti-rejection medication could change the lives of thousands of kidney transplant patients with incurable cancer, as new research shows it can reduce this risk of organ rejection and eliminate cancer in a quarter of patients. |
| Synthetic tools conduct messages from station to station in DNA Posted: 18 Jul 2022 06:44 AM PDT Bioengineers used deactivated Cas9 fusion proteins to synthetically control gene expression and reveal new details about natural processes in human cells. |
| What the mechanical forces behind protein folding can tell us about metastatic cancer Posted: 15 Jul 2022 11:21 AM PDT Cells communicate with themselves and their cellular environment through mechanical bonds. This work advances understanding of the role of these forces on proteins as they interact to accomplish their biological functions, including the control of cancer. |
| Poxvirus proteins enable early strike on immune defenses Posted: 14 Jul 2022 11:51 AM PDT Pox viruses are able to get a head start on infecting a host by delivering a package of proteins that directly interferes with the body's innate immune system. |
