In a new study, UCLA Health researchers have found that motor delay and low muscle tone were common signs of an underlying genetic diagnosis in children with neurodevelopment disorders.

Higher levels of HDL-C-;known as the "good cholesterol"-;have been shown to correlate with heightened risk for Alzheimer's disease.

Scientists at Université de Montréal and its affiliated Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM) have uncovered unique roles for a protein complex in the structural organization and function of brain cell connectivity, as well as in specific cognitive behaviors.

The protein GBP1 is a vital component of our body's natural defence against pathogens. This substance fights against bacteria and parasites by enveloping them in a protein coat, but how the substance manages to do this has remained unknown until now.

The University of Michigan will use a new $3.6 million federal grant to study how pain and opioids after surgery impact people with opioid use disorder, how guidelines might be adjusted to address post-surgical pain and how to prevent opioid-related harms.

Across the Western world, the prevalence of these chronic and serious conditions, which have no cure, is rising. In Denmark alone, 50,000 people suffer from either Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, which represents a doubling in cases over the past 20 years.

A study by the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) has identified the most relevant YouTube videos on this disease and the concerns of the people who post comments.

A new article highlights a critical issue in the One Health approach-;an emerging global framework for tackling complex health challenges at the intersection of human, animal, and environmental health.

The research team of the Neurology Department Movement Disorders Unit at the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital and the Movement Disorders group of the Institute of Biomedicine of Seville - IBiS, in collaboration with researchers from the Mental Health Clinical Management Unit and the Translational Psychiatry group coordinated by Benedicto Crespo Facorro (HUVR-IBiS/CIBERSAM), has published a randomized clinical trial demonstrating for the first time that a multidisciplinary approach integrating specific physiotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy is effective in improving the symptoms and physical aspects of the quality of life of patients with functional movement disorders.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in hospitals and patient care is steadily increasing. Especially in specialist areas with a high proportion of imaging, such as radiology, AI has long been part of everyday clinical practice.

Researchers at LMU University Hospital have discovered a new molecular switch that protects against cell death.

A study led by Umeå University, Sweden, presents new discoveries about how stem cells develop and transition into specialised cells. The discovery can provide increased understanding of how cells divide and grow uncontrollably so that cancer develops.

Novel magnetic nanodiscs could provide a much less invasive way of stimulating parts of the brain, paving the way for stimulation therapies without implants or genetic modification, MIT researchers report.

Scientists have identified a protein that blocks the activity of bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) by stopping them from maturing during the journey to sites of bone formation, a new study has found.

Immunity plays a central role in the fight against cancer. Many of the current immunotherapies aim at helping the patient's immune system to better recognize cancer cells - by using engineered antibodies - or by simply providing it with new cells, pre-equipped to search and destroy cancer.

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a way to expand tissue before imaging it -; a technique that allows them to achieve nanoscale resolution with a conventional light microscope.

As immunotherapy makes breakthrough progress in the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), predicting treatment outcomes has become a focal point in clinical practice. Immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy has been approved as first-line therapy for small cell lung cancer due to its survival benefit in randomized controlled trials.

Trinity College Dublin researchers, based at St James's Hospital have provided important insights into the behavior and metabolic function of a previously largely unknown, but crucial 'natural killer' (NK) immune cell resident in the lungs.

Breakdancers may be at risk of developing a condition caused by repeatedly doing a cardinal move of their practice and performance-;the headspin-;warn doctors in the journal BMJ Case Reports.

Immunotherapy, using a patient's own immune system to treat disease, has shown promise in some patients with cancer but has not worked in most.
