New pre-clinical model could hold the key to better HIV treatments 2021-05-14
Researchers have developed a unique pre-clinical model that enables the study of long-term HIV infection, and the testing of new therapies aimed at curing the disease.
New research optimizes body's own immune system to fight cancer 2021-05-14
A new study shows how engineered immune cells move faster to attack tumors.
Screening for ovarian cancer did not reduce early deaths 2021-05-13
The latest analysis looked at data from more than 200,000 women aged 50-74 at recruitment who were followed up for an average of 16 years. The women were randomly allocated to one of three groups: no screening, annual screening using an ultrasound scan, and annual multimodal screening involving a blood test followed by an ultrasound […]
Politically polarized brains share an intolerance of uncertainty 2021-05-13
A new study on political polarization showed how an aversion to uncertainty is often associated with black-and-white political views.
Study of 70,000 individuals links dementia to smoking and cardiovascular disease 2021-05-13
In the largest study of the associations between smoking and cardiovascular disease on cognitive function, researchers found both impair the ability to learn and memorize; and that the effects of smoking are more pronounced among females, while males are more impaired by cardiovascular disease.
Jab-free dengue immunity could be just a click away 2021-05-13
A dengue virus vaccine candidate has passed an important milestone, with promising results in animal model testing providing hope to the 390 million people infected every year.
A sibling-guided strategy to capture the 3D shape of the human face 2021-05-13
A new strategy for capturing the 3D shape of the human face draws on data from sibling pairs and leads to identification of novel links between facial shape traits and specific locations within the human genome.
Call for 'paradigm shift' to fight airborne spread of COVID-19 indoors 2021-05-13
Researchers are calling for a 'paradigm shift' in combating airborne pathogens such as COVID-19, demanding universal recognition that infections can be prevented by improving indoor ventilation systems.
Brain mechanism of curiosity unraveled 2021-05-13
Researchers have discovered a new brain circuit underlying curiosity and novelty seeking behavior. Using several innovative techniques, the scientists uncovered a whole path of multiple brain regions that converts curiosity into action in mice.
Cancer has ripple effect on distant tissues 2021-05-13
A new study with zebrafish shows that a deadly form of skin cancer -- melanoma -- alters the metabolism of healthy tissues elsewhere in the body. The research suggests that these other tissues could potentially be targeted to help treat cancer.
Researchers identify a missing piece of the Lyme disease puzzle 2021-05-13
Epidemic. Pandemic. These terms have become second nature to us, popping up in everyday conversation, and for good reason -- COVID-19 is the latest pandemic to pose a threat to humanity. But in recent months, far less attention has been paid to another widely spread problem that has been proliferating since the late 1970s: Lyme […]
The emergence of cooperation 2021-05-13
Cooperation plays a crucial role in evolution. A team of scientists has now created a new model that shows how different kinds of cooperative strategies among humans develop. Using their unified framework, they show how an individual's experience and the reputation of others influence the emergence of successful cooperation.
Adolescents and older adults lack attention in social situations 2021-05-13
New research has found that adolescents and older adults pay less attention to social cues in real-world interactions than young adults.
Songbird neurons for advanced cognition mirror the physiology of mammalian counterparts 2021-05-13
Neuroscientists examining genetically identified neurons in a songbird's forebrain discovered a remarkable landscape of physiology, auditory coding and network roles that mirrored those in the brains of mammals.
Study: Drivers with shift work sleep disorder 3x more likely to be in crash 2021-05-13
People who work nontraditional work hours, such as 11 p.m.-7 a.m., or the 'graveyard' shift, are more likely than people with traditional daytime work schedules to develop a chronic medical condition -- shift work sleep disorder -- that disrupts their sleep. According to researchers, people who develop this condition are also three times more likely […]
Hydrogen peroxide-producing drug boosts cancer-killing effect of radiotherapy 2021-05-13
A small drug molecule that appears to protect normal tissue from the damaging effects of radiation, may simultaneously be able to boost the cancer-killing effect of radiation therapy, according to a new study.
Ticking upward: Researcher studies rise of tick-borne diseases in Midwest 2021-05-13
When a researcher heard from a former colleague at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that a 7-year-old girl had died from Rocky Mountain spotted fever as the result of a tick bite, he thought of his own daughter, also 7 years old at the time, and the potentially fatal danger posed to vulnerable […]
COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are immunogenic in pregnant and lactating women, study finds 2021-05-13
In a new study, researchers evaluated the immunogenicity of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in pregnant and lactating women who received either the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, finding that both triggered immune responses.
Eating more fruit and vegetables linked to less stress, study finds 2021-05-13
Eating a diet rich in fruit and vegetables is associated with less stress, according to new research. The findings revealed people who ate at least 470 grams of fruit and vegetables daily had 10 per cent lower stress levels than those who consumed less than 230 grams.
New study reveals where memories of familiar places are stored in the brain 2021-05-13
As we move through the world, what we see is seamlessly integrated with our memory of the broader spatial environment. How does the brain accomplish this feat? A new study reveals that three regions of the brain in the posterior cerebral cortex, which the researchers call 'place-memory areas,' form a link between the brain's perceptual […]
