The research study discovering the role that the LRH-1 protein plays in the immune system; Inhibiting this protein could help treat inflammation diseases. Immune cells prevent bacteria, parasites or viruses from entering the body when, for example, the intestinal epithelium is injured. They respond with restricted inflammatory reactions, which are controlled via various processes in…
The researches find that the One Illinois hospital raffled off tickets for a smart speaker to entice people to get their abdomens checked by a surgeon; while an Indiana hospital offered a chance to win dinner at a chophouse. Therefore Announcements for screening events in Colorado and Maryland warned about “life-threatening” complications that could arise…
Zika virus is an arthropod borne emerging pathogen cells causing febrile illness. This virus effecting over 60 million people, mostly in South America. It has potentially devastating consequences for pregnant women and their unborn children, many of whom are born with severe microcephaly and other developmental and neurological abnormalities. As there is currently no vaccine…
As the study advancing the intense selective pressures on the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae, caused by the widespread use of insecticides for malaria control; to investigate the role of CNVs in the evolution of insecticide resistance. Many diseases, such as malaria, Zika and Dengue; are transmitted by mosquitoes, making control of mosquito populations a…
Anatomically after an nerve injury, the protein complex mTORC1 takes over an important function in skeletal muscle to maintain the neuromuscular junction, the synapse between the nerve and muscle fiber. Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue, whose function strictly depends on neural activity. Nerve injury leads to muscle atrophy and to the remodeling of…
A parent’s level of psychological distress may influence how well teens in the juvenile justice system; respond to mental health interventions for substance use and sexual risk; according to a researcher at FIU’s Center for Children and Families. The study found that adolescents with highly distressed parents did better with a family-based intervention; whereas adolescents…
Mothers living near more intensity oil and gas development activity have a 40-70% higher; chance of having children with congenital heart defects (CHDs) compared to those living in areas of less intense activity; according to a new study from researchers at the Colorado School of Public Health. “They observed more children were being born with…
The Researchers in the Medical Sciences Division have established a key cause of micro blood vessels constricting during surgery to reopen a blocked artery; also identified a potential therapeutic target to block the mechanism behind it. During the emergency procedure used to reopen the blocked artery causing a heart attack, smaller “micro” blood vessels can remain…
Amarin Corporation, which is maker of a promising heart-disease capsule which is derived from purified fish oil. Last year, the company’s American depositary receipts more than tripled after a clinical trial found that the pill; Vascepa, significantly cuts the risk of heart attack and stroke. Vascepa is already available for a subset of patients; and…
The researches find that the For the first time, Australian researchers from Children’s Cancer Institute have discovered that a gene called JMJD6 plays an important role in the most aggressive form of the disease. The research is publish today in the journal, Nature Communications. The discovery opens up a new way to treat neuroblastoma, using drugs…
Robots and prosthetic devices may soon have a sense of touch equivalent to, or better than, the human skin with the Asynchronous Coded Electronic Skin (ACES), an artificial nervous system developed by a team of researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS). The new electronic skin system achieved ultra-high responsiveness and robustness to damage;…
As supply of food becoming safer as the food industry shifting to the high-resolution; whole-genome sequencing which examining the full DNA of a given organism all at once. This move to make sequencing ubiquitous will lead to the consistently reliable detection of salmonella. As Salmonella contamination have been associating with ready to eat low moisture…
