people who have been in a serious relationship in the past -- even if it has ended -- might have different personality traits
Tonsillitis is a painful infection of the tonsils—two lymph node-rich glands in the back of the throat
Findings also reveal that people with Alzheimer’s disease face the most severe impacts
Analysts came to the conclusion after 116 studies involving nearly 7,000 overweight, obese adults
The sample size involved analysing 14 studies involving 9,550 with H&N cancer and nearly 15,800 without cancer
A novel way of scanning lungs can demonstrate the impact of treatment on lung function in real-time, allowing experts to observe the functioning of transplanted lungs. This could help doctors detect any deterioration in lung function earlier.
The new scan method could be used in clinical management of lung transplant recipients and other lung diseases in future, say researchers
Findings could significantly enhance patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency, say researchers
The study confirms research completed in 2023, which revealed that anemic patients who received less blood had a higher mortality rate or more frequent heart attacks. Jeffrey L. Carson, provost and Distinguished Professor of medicine at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, led both studies.
Muscle movement is enabled by signals conveyed from the brain to motor neurones; however, these impulses often transit through spinal interneurons before reaching their target. How the brain and this highly diverse group of 'switchboard operator' cells are connected is poorly understood.
Researchers from Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, said that the speed at which one's brain ages is affected by various risk and health factors
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that affects central nervous system (CNS)
The team co-led by a physician-scientist at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson’s Sarver Heart Center in the US found that a subset of artificial heart patients can regenerate heart muscle, which may open the door to new ways to treat and perhaps someday cure heart failure
The AI-based tool—‘Fertility Predictor’—developed by the ICMR-NIRRCH in collaboration with Amity University, Noida can predict sperm retrieval rates and success rates of assisted reproductive technology (ART) in men having this genetic problem
When most people think of dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease, they often think of memory loss first.

In living organisms, the membrane that encloses the cells is incredibly delicate and flexible. Many biological activities depend on how it repairs and protects itself from harm, yet this process is still poorly understood. Researchers at Forschungszentrum Julich have now used cryo-electron microscopy to uncover intriguing new information. Known from the photosynthetic system of plants, algae, and bacteria, the membrane protein Vipp1 may generate a variety of structures that may be used as instruments to reinforce and strengthen the cell membrane when needed.
Sinai Health researchers discovered that DNA elements known as transposons, which may roam around the genome, influence a vital shift in early human development, rather than our own genes.
Adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) can now gain vital insights into their long-term quality of life according to data from the Congenital Heart Initiative (CHI). CHI is the nation's first and largest patient-focused registry for people with CHD, and it recently launched its inaugural research, which included over 4,500 participants from all 50 states.
According to new research, the link between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, and kidney damage could be due to dysregulation of the gut microbiota, which is made up of bacteria and other microorganisms that live in the digestive tract.
Researchers in Michael Sigal's lab at the Max Delbruck Center and Charite - Universitatsmedizin Berlin have discovered the significance of the p53 gene in ulcerative colitis. The work, published in Science Advances, proposes a potential new therapeutic target for preventing illness progression to cancer.
Researchers at Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute discovered a new form of immune cell known as the stem-like CD4 T cell, which plays an important role in anti-tumor immunity. The pre-clinical findings, published in Nature, indicate the potential for activating these cells to combat tumours more effectively, providing new hope for broader treatment success, particularly in patients with cancer that are unresponsive to conventional immunotherapies.
The study, led by Patrizia Casaccia, founding director of the Advanced Science Research Centre at the CUNY Graduate Center's (CUNY ASRC) Neuroscience Initiative and Einstein Professor of Biology and Biochemistry at the CUNY Graduate Centre, investigated how enzymes known as ceramide synthase 5 and 6 are responsible for the toxic effect of a palm oil-rich diet on neurones in the central nervous system, which leads to an increase in the severity of MS symptoms.
Women with polycystic ovary syndrome, also known as PCOS and obesity are more likely to have smaller babies in terms of birth weight, length, and head circumference, according to a recent study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
Researchers at Uppsala University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology have created an antibody that has the potential to treat a variety of cancers. Researchers were able to integrate three different functionalities in the antibody, which combined significantly increased the action of T cells on the cancer tumour.
Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) revealed that stress alters how our brain encodes and retrieves aversive memories, and they developed a potential new method for restoring adequate memory specificity in persons suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Laboratory experiments with cancer cells reveal two ways in which tumors evade drugs designed to starve and kill them, a new study shows. While chemotherapy successfully treats tumours and extends patients' lives, it is known that they do not work for everyone for long, since cancer cells rewire the mechanism by which they transform fuel into energy (metabolism) in order to avoid the treatments' effects. Many of these medications are so-called antimetabolics, which disrupt cell processes necessary for tumour growth and survival.
As we age, our cognitive and motor functions degrade, reducing our independence and overall quality of life. Research efforts to mitigate or perhaps eliminate this have resulted in technologies that hold a lot of promise.
Researchers at EPFL and Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), led by professors Gregoire Courtine and Jocelyne Bloch, have made significant advances in the treatment of spinal cord injuries (SCI). The scientists boosted the recovery of lower limb movements in two people with partial SCI by delivering deep brain stimulation (DBS) to an unanticipated region of the brain--the lateral hypothalamus (LH), considerably increasing their autonomy and well-being.
