You pile your plate high at the buffet, savoring the freedom to try a little bit of everything. But while your tastebuds might be celebrating, your gut could be at risk.
What if there was a way to make aging brain cells younger again? An international research team from Spain and Luxembourg recently set out to address this question. After developing an aging clock capable of assessing the biological age of the brain, they used it to identify possible brain-rejuvenating interventions. The computational tool they created, recently presented in the journal Advanced Science, constitutes a valuable resource to find compounds with therapeutic potential for neurodegenerative diseases.
Last week, scientists announced the birth of eight healthy babies in the United Kingdom conceived with DNA from three people. Some headlines have called it "three-person IVF."
Precancerous cells must adapt to and overcome cellular stress and inflammation in order to progress and form malignant tumors. Now, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have identified a link between stress and inflammation and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), one of the most aggressive and lethal types of cancer.
Winter is here, and with it come higher rates of respiratory illnesses. If you've been struck down recently with a sore throat, runny nose and a cough, or perhaps even a fever, you're not alone.
A new study, led by experts at the University of Nottingham, has found that the COVID-19 pandemic may have accelerated people's brain health, even if they were never infected with the virus.
New research from the University of Pittsburgh reveals how the immune system defends against intestinal parasitic worms, or helminths, one of the most common infections worldwide in communities with limited access to clean water and sanitation.
In November 1922, archaeologist Howard Carter peered through a small hole into the sealed tomb of King Tutankhamun. When asked if he could see anything, he replied: "Yes, wonderful things." Within months, however, Carter's financial backer Lord Carnarvon was dead from a mysterious illness. Over the following years, several other members of the excavation team would meet similar fates, fueling legends of the "pharaoh's curse" that have captivated the public imagination for just over a century.
Your thyroid gland may be small, but it plays a big role in keeping your body running. Located at the base of your neck where a bow tie would sit, this butterfly-shaped gland produces hormones that regulate your metabolism, acting like the throttle on an engine for your entire body.
The national TOP UP clinical trial, a partnership between University of Sydney researchers and aged care providers, found participants could walk and get out of a chair more easily, were less likely to fall, and experienced less pain.
New research published today as a working paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research finds that the widespread, rapid acquisition of private physician practices by hospitals is pushing up health care prices across the United States.
Experts representing multiple societies and institutions across 14 countries have published guidance for computed tomography (CT) imaging in patients with residual lung abnormalities after COVID-19 illness. The consensus statement appears in Radiology.
Visible on chest CT scans, post-COVID-19 residual lung abnormalities, which affect up to 50% of patients who have had an infection requiring hospitalization, may be associated with persistent or progressive respiratory symptoms and are often related to changes in respiratory function tests.
An enzyme expressed by skin cells could be helpful in the management of non-healing skin wounds and ulcers, according to research by University of Manchester and Singapore's A*STAR Skin Research Lab scientists.
Scientists have uncovered a molecular "on–off" switch that helps lung adenocarcinoma—the most common form of lung cancer—grow and spread. The discovery pinpoints the protein calcyclin‑binding protein (CACYBP) as a key driver of tumor activity and suggests that blocking it could improve outcomes for patients who fail to benefit from current drugs. The study is published in the journal Biomolecules and Biomedicine.
Colon cancer remains a major global health concern, ranking third among the most diagnosed cancers and the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. One critical factor that makes treating colon cancer challenging is the presence of cancer stem cells.
Cannabis use disorder in adolescents in the United States remains a growing threat despite declines in cannabis use. Many adolescents begin using cannabis before high school, during crucial stages of brain development, which may pose short- and long-term risks for cognitive, academic and social challenges.
Cells called astrocytes are about as abundant in the brain as neurons, but scientists have spent much less time figuring out how they contribute to brain functions. A novel study by MIT researchers at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory shows that one function appears to be maintaining the chemical conditions necessary for groups of neurons to team up to encode information.
More than half of a sample of unregulated anabolic–androgenic steroid products sold in Australia were mislabeled or mis-sold, according to Australian research. The team collected 28 anonymously donated steroid products and chemically analyzed them, finding just four that had a clear labeled dosage that proved to be accurate within 5%.
