In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers analyzed blood samples from nearly 10,000 people to find that genetic markers in the gene responsible for keeping telomeres (tips of chromosomes) youthfully longer, did not translate into a younger biologic age as measured by changes in proteins coating the DNA.
Adding the targeted cancer therapy drug crizotinib to radiation therapy for tumors associated With genetic disorder neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) May reduce the hearing damage That can be exacerbated by radiotherapy, a new study published in the journal PNAS Plus.

Bacterial cell quantification after exposure to antimicrobial compounds varies widely throughout industry and healthcare. Numerous methods are employed to quantify these antimicrobial effects. With increasing demand for new preventative methods for disease control. Researchers aimed to compare and assess common analytical methods used to determine antimicrobial effects of novel nanoparticle combinations on two different pathogens.
How do viruses that cause chronic infections, such as HIV or hepatitis c virus, manage to outsmart their hosts' immune systems? The answer to that question has long eluded scientists.
But in a study, published recently in the journal Immunity, researchers from McGill University has uncovered a molecular mechanism that may be a key piece of the puzzle. The discovery could provide new targets for treating a wide range of diseases.
In a new research, scientists have reported one particular environmentally friendly sunscreen ingredient, shinorine, a UV-absorbing substance produced naturally by cyanobacteria and marine algae. The team reported the laboratory production of this ingredient in ACS Synthetic Biology.
Two new articles, published in the journals Arthritis Care & Research and Arthritis & Rheumatology, provide insights on the outlook of rheumatology in the United States, noting that the need for rheumatologists will greatly exceed the projected growth of the rheumatology workforce over the next 15 years.
Low muscle strength during the later teen years has been identified as a risk factor for much later onset of the neurological disease known as ALS , or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A study at Sahlgrenska Academy published in the Journal of Neurology also links low blood counts at a young age to ALS.
Acute brain lesions on MRI are associated with an increased risk of delayed neurological sequelae after carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, according to a study published in JAMA Neurology.
The aim of this study is to estimate whole-body radiation dose to the radiopharmacist involved in labeling of three different 188Re-labeled compounds, namely, 188Re-Lipiodol, 188Re-tin colloid, and 188Re-hydroxyl-ethylidene-diphosphonate (HEDP) and to compare the occupational burden with the dose limits recommended by Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, India.
New research published in BMJ Open has shed light on the reasons driving doctors out of General Practice, following earlier findings that around two out of every five GPs in the South West are planning to leave direct patient care in the next five years.
