Researchers at the University of Toronto’s Temerty Faculty of Medicine have found widespread genetic and protein changes in the brain cells of people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which may help shed light on mechanisms […]
The liver plays a central role in storing and supplying energy to the body. In type 2 diabetes and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, commonly referred to as fatty liver disease), mitochondria—the cell’s power […]
In research, induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are derived from skin, urine, or blood samples and developed into other cells, like heart tissue, that researchers want to study. Because of the similarities between certain dog […]
The World Health Organization has declared Indonesia’s polio outbreak officially over, following nearly three years of intensive response efforts, officials said Friday.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
The roots of addiction risk may lie in how young brains function long before substance use begins, according to a new study from Weill Cornell Medicine. The investigators found that children with a family history […]
At the cellular level, the mechanics of how muscle tissue repair occurs gets complicated. There are significant differences between, say, tearing a muscle in a sports injury versus muscle tissue wasting away from diseases like […]
More than a century ago, Alois Alzheimer noted unusual changes in brain fats, which he described as “lipoid granules,” along with the buildup of amyloid‐beta (amyloid) plaques and tau protein tangles. These observations led to […]
Among friends and family of those who die by suicide, a common refrain is: I didn’t know. While some people who die by suicide have prior attempts, about half of people who die by suicide […]
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have clarified how spermine—a small molecule that regulates many processes in the body’s cells—can guard against diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s: It renders certain proteins harmless by […]
A pioneering preclinical study has shown that CAR T cell therapy—a personalized form of immunotherapy used in cancer treatment—could be a highly effective tool against atherosclerosis, the condition where a build-up of plaque in the […]
