The research identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and associated biological processes between Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Osteo arthritis (OA) using a bioinformatics approach to elucidate their potential pathogenesis
When the blood supply is low, cancer cells can use lipid molecules as fuel instead of blood glucose. This has been shown in animal tumor models by researchers at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, in a study published in Cell Metabolism. The mechanism may explain why tumors often develop resistance to cancer drugs that inhibit the formation of blood vessels
A new study published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior found that a web-based salt education program improved salt-related knowledge, self-efficacy, and behaviors among children ages 7-10 years
Medical research is now on the cusp of treating severe spinal cord injuries by inducing the repair of spinal nerves, and scientists have made strides in recent years with rodents and primates
Amblyopia, commonly known as "lazy eye," is a visual disorder common in children. The symptoms often are low acuity in the affected or "lazy" eye and impaired depth perception. Researchers have long believed that the impaired vision by one eye is a consequence of exaggerated eye dominance that favors the fellow or "good" eye
According to new UCL-led research, scientists explained that more than a third of women report feeling out of control over the amount they eat during pregnancy
A novel positron emission tomography (PET) imaging method shows promise for noninvasively pinpointing sites of inflammation in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), the study is featured in the June issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine
One in 59 children in the United States lives with a form of autism spectrum disorder, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The signs of autism begin in early childhood and can affect individuals differently. However, many with autism share similar symptoms, including difficulties with social communication
A study has identified how kidney cancers may develop the ability to spread around the body by hijacking genes from other cell types and 'stealing' their functions
Millions of Europeans are affected by stress urinary incontinence (SUI) which can have a devastating effect on quality of life. Between 20% and 50% of women are affected by the condition, which can result from damage to bladder-closing muscles during childbirth, men too can suffer from SUI, particularly those who have undergone surgery for prostate cancer
Administration of mannitol with high dose could induce extensive isometric renal proximal tubular vacuolization and acute renal failure in the clinic, according to the study
A set of three nearly identical genes found only in humans appear to play a critical role in the development of our large brains, according to a study led by researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz
