  • Study finds immune cells in older adults resemble those in newborns and children, but fall short in virus detection 2023-09-25
    New research shows that the immune cells, known as 'killer T cells,' in older adults resemble those in newborns and children, but have difficulty identifying infected cells. This discovery opens the door to tailored, age-specific vaccines and therapies.
  • Marker for brain inflammation finally decoded 2023-09-25
    Inflammation is the sign that our body is defending itself against an aggression. But when this response escalates, for example in the brain, it can lead to serious neurological or psychiatric diseases. A team investigated a marker protein targeted by medical imaging to visualize cerebral inflammation, but whose interpretation was still uncertain. The team reveals […]
  • Genetic code of rare kidney cancer cracked 2023-09-25
    New study reveals drivers of rare cancer and provides a possible alternative solution to surgery.
  • Brain signals for good memory performance revealed 2023-09-25
    People differ significantly in their memory performance. Researchers have now discovered that certain brain signals are related to these differences.
  • Drug discovery on an unprecedented scale 2023-09-25
    Boosting virtual screening with machine learning allowed for a 10-fold time reduction in the processing of 1.56 billion drug-like molecules. Researchers teamed up with industry and supercomputers to carry out one of the world's largest virtual drug screens.
  • Nanopore sequencing and DNA barcoding method gives hope of personalized medicine 2023-09-25
    With the ability to map dozens of biomarkers at once, a new method could transform testing for conditions including heart disease and cancer.
  • Discovery in mosquitoes could lead to new strategy against dengue fever and other mosquito-borne vectors 2023-09-22
    Researchers have made an important finding about Aedes aegypti mosquitoes -- one that could one day lead to better methods for reducing the mosquito-to-human transmission of dengue, yellow fever, Zika, and other harmful and sometimes deadly viruses.
  • Fruit flies offer clues to how brains make reward-based decisions 2023-09-22
    New research finds fruit flies make decisions based on their expectations about the likelihood of a reward and pinpoints the site in the fly brain where these value adjustments are made, enabling researchers to directly test a theory about how the brain enables this behavior on the level of neural circuits.
  • New research adds evidence to the benefits of ginger supplements for treating autoimmune diseases 2023-09-22
    New research has revealed a potentially important role ginger supplements can play in controlling inflammation for people living with autoimmune diseases. The research focused on studying the impact of ginger supplementation on a type of white blood cell called the neutrophil. The study was especially interested in neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, also known as […]
  • Jellyfish, with no central brain, shown to learn from past experience 2023-09-22
    Even without a central brain, jellyfish can learn from past experiences like humans, mice, and flies, scientists report for the first time. They trained Caribbean box jellyfish (Tripedalia cystophora) to learn to spot and dodge obstacles. The study challenges previous notions that advanced learning requires a centralized brain and sheds light on the evolutionary roots […]
  • Study shows millions of people live with co-occuring chronic pain and mental health symptoms 2023-09-22
    New research found that nearly 1 in 20 adults in the U.S. experience the co-occurrence of chronic pain and anxiety or depression, resulting in functional limitations in daily life.
  • New target to beat cancer drug resistance 2023-09-22
    A novel drug target has been newly identified in the fight against drug resistance in cancer patients.
  • A dendritic cell vaccine was safe and induced immune responses in patients with multiple myeloma 2023-09-22
    A dendritic cell vaccine administered before and after autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) was safe and immunogenic and was associated with durable clinical responses in patients with high-risk multiple myeloma.
  • Trigonelline derived from coffee improves cognitive functions in mice 2023-09-22
    Trigonelline is derived from coffee; researchers have found that it improves spatial learning and memory in senescence-accelerated mice. The study also suggested that this effect results from inhibiting neuroinflammation and restoring neurotransmitter levels in the brain.
  • A promising drug candidate for ALS -- prolongs lifespan and eases symptoms in rats and mice 2023-09-22
    A research group has found a promising drug candidate for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor CDNF prolongs the lifespan of and alleviates disease symptoms in rats and mice in animal studies.
  • Same genes behind heart muscle disorders in humans and Dobermanns 2023-09-22
    Researchers have made a significant finding in determining the genetic background of dilated cardiomyopathy in Dobermanns. This research helps us understand the genetic risk factors related to fatal diseases of the heart muscle and the mechanisms underlying the disease, and offers new tools for their prevention.
  • Researchers connect Alzheimer's-associated genetic variants with brain cell function 2023-09-22
    Research reveals new non-coding genetic variants associated with Alzheimer's disease functioning in microglia -- brain cells already implicated in the progression of this often-fatal neurodegenerative condition.
  • A network that spreads light and the role of thalamus in our brain 2023-09-22
    New research using ultra-high field 7 Tesla MRI, provides a better understanding of how light stimulates our brain and could provide new insights into how it works.
  • Why are you better at recognizing upright faces? Clues from a person who sees the world differently 2023-09-22
    When you see a familiar face upright, you'll recognize it right away. But if you saw that same face upside down, it's much harder to place. Now researchers who've studied Claudio, a 42-year-old man whose head is rotated back almost 180 degrees such that it sits between his shoulder blades, suggest that the reason people […]
  • AI helps bring clarity to LASIK patients facing cataract surgery 2023-09-21
    Scientists develop computer models of patients' eyes to identify the ideal intraocular lenses and visual simulators for patients to experience how they will see with them.
