A team of researchers led by Osaka University have identified the cellular network involved in initiating and maintaining rheumatoid arthritis. The researchers suggest that this network can be targeted using a novel immunotherapeutic approach that will reduce joint inflammation
Scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases–part of the National Institutes of Health–have unraveled the process of Francisella tularensis, bacteria which causes the disease tularemia
The present study concluded that absent signs of clinical infection, breastfeeding should continue normally when mother and baby are diagnosed with Red Diaper Syndrome caused by Serratia marcescens, an opportunistic bacteria. The study in Breastfeeding Medicine
In this study, researchers assessed whether different insulin regimens, metformin, and rosiglitazone influence bone metabolism. They explored if the concentration of metformin and rosiglitazone in blood or improved glycaemic control altered bone turnover
Fabricated using cheap and widely available organic pigments used in printing inks and cosmetics, it consists of tiny pixels like a digital camera sensor on a nanometric scale. The researchers hope that it can restore sight to blind people
Nearly 70% of Colorado marijuana dispensaries recommended pot products to manage early pregnancy-related morning sickness, new research reveals
Motivated by postmortem data, researchers evaluated a three-stage PET classification: low cortical; high cortical, low striatal; and high cortical, high striatal amyloid; hypothesizing this model could better reflect Alzheimer's dementia progression than a model based only on Amyloid PET data expressed as cortical measures
Early-life seizures prematurely switch on key synapses in the brain that may contribute to further neurodevelopmental delay in children with autism and other intellectual disabilities, suggests a new study from researchers at Penn Medicine published online in Cell Reports
The European Cancer Stem Cell Research Institute at Cardiff University has shed light on the link between skin cancer development and kidney transplants, highlighting the importance for clinicians to monitor transplant patients for these virus-induced cancers
A team of scientists from Melbourne's La Trobe University has shown a protein found in a tobacco plant has the potential to fight life-threatening infectious diseases
Chemist Tom O'Halloran is a world-renowned expert on inorganic compounds—metals, specifically—and how these compounds function in the body. He believes certain inorganic elements and compounds could be used more broadly to kill cancer
A large international team of researchers has found a link between intelligence and eyesight, longevity and hypertension. In their paper published in the journal Nature Communications, the group describes their study of genetic and cognitive data obtained from other studies and what they found
