New method for finding disease-susceptibility genes 2018-05-26
A team of researchers has unveiled a novel statistical algorithm, capable of identifying potential disease genes in a more accurate and cost-effective way.
Biologist advocates ecological approach to improving human health 2018-05-25
Chronic diseases like cancer, autoimmune disorders and obesity may ultimately vanquish the efforts of medical intervention unless people change their diet, a biologist argues in a paper published this week.
Why motor neurons die in patients with motor neuron disease 2018-05-25
A group of clinical neurologists, molecular biologists and computer scientists have worked together to solve the mystery of why motor neurons die in patients with motor neuron disease.
Lung-on-a-chip simulates pulmonary fibrosis 2018-05-25
New biotechnology could make testing potential medicine for pulmonary fibrosis, one of the most common and serious forms of lung disease, quicker and less expensive. The innovation, lung-on-a-chip technology, relies on the same technology used to print electronic chips, photolithography.
Study reveals gaps in follow-up care after concussion 2018-05-25
Being discharged from a hospital trauma center after receiving treatment for a traumatic brain injury (TBI) does not necessarily mean that a patient has fully recovered. TBI can lead to long-lasting physical and cognitive symptoms, but a new study suggests that many patients may not be receiving follow-up care.
New chromosome study can lead to personalized counseling of pregnant women 2018-05-25
Fetuses with a specific, rare chromosomal aberration have a 20 percent risk of a developmental disorder or another brain disorder, a new study reveals. The findings may provide personalized diagnostics and counseling for these pregnant women.
Potent new mechanism of action for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease revealed 2018-05-25
Through research on the small molecule analogue of E6007 which is under clinical development as a treatment for inflammatory bowel disease, a novel mechanism of action was revealed in which this analogue inhibited the adhesion and infiltration of various leukocytes through the blockade of certain interaction.
Which role does the brain play in prosocial behavior? 2018-05-25
This study suggests that our tactile cortices, primarily evolved to perceive touch and pain on our body, have an important social function. They contribute to prosocial decision-making by helping to transform the sight of bodily harm into an accurate feeling for how much pain the victim experiences. This feeling is necessary to adapt our helping […]
Goal conflict linked to psychological distress 2018-05-25
Being torn about which personal goals to pursue is associated with symptoms of psychological distress, new research shows.
New link found between alcohol, genes and heart failure 2018-05-25
Scientists have revealed a new link between alcohol, heart health and our genes. The researchers investigated faulty versions of a gene called titin which are carried by one in 100 people or 600,000 people in the UK.
A new guide for explorers of the submicroscopic world inside us 2018-05-25
The new guidelines will benefit the battle against diseases such as cancer, assist in the development of new drugs and ensure scientific results are accurate and can be reproduced.
Biosensor technologies to offer more effective approaches to disease treatment 2018-05-25
Every cell in our bodies is shaped by its outer coating, or biomembrane, which wraps the cell in a supportive and protective blanket, allowing the cell to carry out its normal function while also defending it against attack. New technology has opened up an area of research that makes it possible to study how the […]
Study suggests obese children who meet milk guidelines have less risk of metabolic syndrome 2018-05-25
Obese children who consume at least two servings of any type of cow's milk daily are more likely to have lower fasting insulin, indicating better blood sugar control, according to researchers.
People with dementia more likely to go missing 2018-05-25
The tendency of people with dementia to wander and become lost has led researchers to recommend a 'Silver Alert' system, similar to Amber Alerts for missing children, be activated when someone with the diagnosis of dementia is reported lost.
Professor replicates famous marshmallow test, makes new observations 2018-05-25
A new replication study of the well-known 'marshmallow test' -- a famous psychological experiment designed to measure children's self-control -- suggests that being able to delay gratification at a young age may not be as predictive of later life outcomes as was previously thought.
Genome study presents new way to track historical demographics of US populations 2018-05-24
Researchers have developed a method to estimate historical effective population size, which is the number of individuals who pass on their genes to the next generation, to reveal the shifting demographic history of US populations during the last several thousand years.
What makes us well? Diversity, health care, and public transit matter 2018-05-24
Diverse neighbors. Health centers. Commuter trains. These community attributes, and other key factors, are linked to well-being and quality of life, according to researchers.
The secret to honing kids' language and literacy 2018-05-24
Researchers found that a child's ability to self-regulate is a critical element in childhood language and literacy development, and that the earlier they can hone these skills, the faster language and literacy skills develop leading to better skills in the long run.
New computational tool could help optimize treatment of Alzheimer's disease 2018-05-24
Scientists have developed a novel computational approach that incorporates individual patients' brain activity to calculate optimal, personalized brain stimulation treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
Reconstructing Zika's spread 2018-05-24
The urgent threat from Zika virus, which dominated headlines in early 2016, has passed. But research into how Zika and other mosquito-borne infections spread and cause epidemics is still very active. Researchers now report new details of how Zika emerged from Brazil and spread throughout Mexico and Central America, with evidence that some locations had […]
