Scientists from the Babraham Institute in collaboration with colleagues from Brazil and Italy have discovered a way that good bacteria in the gut can control genes in our cells. The study findings were published in the Nature Communications.
Researchers examined differences in neonatal morbidity and mortality rates among non-Hispanic black (black), Hispanic, and non-Hispanic white (white) very preterm infants and to determine whether these differences are explained by site of delivery.
For people who are in the workforce already, the added burden of unpaid caregiving for a family member or loved one may lead to insomnia and other sleep issues, according to a study published in the journal Sleep.
A new study published in the journal Neuropharmacology shows that psilocybin can help ease the symptoms of depression among persons who have not been responding adequately to the treatment of depression. It is seen to improve the responsiveness of the brain to emotions in these patients.
Researchers have reported that in vaccination, a certain subpopulation of dendritic cells is vital to triggering the body's adaptive immune system. The findings have important implications for vaccine delivery, as the usual method, intramuscular injection is likely not the most effective way to target those dendritic cells. The study findings published in Science Immunology.
Researchers suggests that an injection of nanoparticles may be able to help fight the immune system when it goes haywire, researchers at the University of Michigan have shown. The nanoparticles divert immune cells that cause inflammation away from an injury site. Inflammation is a double-edged sword. When it works, it helps the body heal and fights off infections.
According to a systematic review and meta-analysis, atraumatic lumbar puncture needles are safe and effective, and they cause fewer post-dural-puncture headaches and returns to the hospital for additional treatment. The findings reported in The Lancet.
Although exercise counseling has increased, two in five adults with arthritis still do not receive it, according to results from a study published in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
The researchers from the University of Alberta have discovered a mechanism that may make cancer cells more susceptible to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The research team found that the protein RYBP prevents DNA repair in cancer cells, including breast cancer.
Study found that While 78 percent of those tested were normal correctly identifying at least four out of five scents about 14 percent could name just three out of five, five percent could identify only two scents, two percent could name just one, and one percent of the study subjects were not able to identify a single smell.
A study was led by a researcher at the University of California, Riverside. According to the research, tobacco shops (smoke shops), may represent potential "nuisance properties" in urban communities of color. Nuisance properties are properties where unsafe activities affecting public health and safety occur repeatedly.
Implanted devices send targeted electrical stimulation to the nervous system to interfere with abnormal brain activity, and it is commonly assumed that neurons are the only important brain cells that need to be stimulated by these devices. However, research published in Nature Biomedical Engineering reveals that it may also be important to target the supportive glial cells surrounding the neurons.
