In the United States, the number of centers advertising stem cell therapies for knee osteoarthritis (OA) are increasing. These centers claim 80% success rate, according to a study presented at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons ( AAOS ).
A new study presented at American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2018 shows that TIM3 and/or increased regulatory T cells (Tregs) within the tumor may help cancers resist immunotherapy. The findings may help design combination therapies that reduce relapse after immunotherapy.
A new study published in the journal Neuron shows that individual brain networks are remarkably stable from day to day and while undertaking different tasks, suggesting that finding differences between individuals could help diagnose brain disorders.
Combining the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab with chemotherapy doubled survival in patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSNSCLC) lacking genetic changes in the EGFR or ALK genes, when compared with chemo alone, according to a Phase III clinical study published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
The combination of two targeted drugs, namely MLN128 and CB-839, could be more effective in treating squamous cell carcinomas of the lung, the researchers from UCLA and Long Beach Memorial Medical Center reported in the journal Cancer Cell.
British scientists have discovered nearly 80 genes that may be linked to an increased risk of developing the depression. The breakthrough, reported in Nature Communications, could lead to new treatments for a condition that affects millions of people worldwide.
Researchers from the Northeastern University reveals how human body physically changes during anger and other emotions can also widely vary. The findings, reported in the Journal Psychological Bulletin , upend hundreds of years of conventional wisdom.
A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association ( JAMA ) suggests that adults 65 years or older who are at the increased risk of falling should exercise , not rely on vitamin D.
A new study, published in Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), suggests that people with high levels of LDL cholesterol, or "bad" cholesterol likely to get greater benefits from the cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins.
Scientists from Trinity College Dublin have discovered how the HIV virus evades the immune system, paving the way for new therapies for the infection that affects millions of people worldwide. The study, published in EBioMedicine, shows that HIV targets and disables a pathway involving a number of biological molecules that are key in blocking viral activity and clearing the infection.
In a study, published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, researchers decided to explore the role that skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) play with regard to seniors' placements in long-term care facilities.
Olivocochlear efferents allow the central auditory system to adjust the functioning of the inner ear during active and passive listening. While many aspects of efferent anatomy, physiology and function are well established, others remain controversial. The auditory nervous system is continuously sensing and interpreting the sounds around us. Our ears operate as the sound detectors, transducing acoustic pressure into auditory nerve action potentials, and coding the characteristics of sounds appropriately for further processing by the central auditory system.
