Study provides new insights into brain signaling during sleep and wakefulness
An international team led by the University of Michigan has introduced new methods that reveal which regions of the brain were active throughout the day with single-cell resolution.
Analysis of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias uncovers disparities in Maryland's rural communities
A new statewide spatial analysis of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) has uncovered significant disparities in Maryland's rural communities, offering a striking example of how healthcare accessibility is shaping health outcomes across the United States.
Contraception and surgical sterilization associated with increased life expectancy
Blocking reproduction increases lifespan in both males and females of many different species, a new international University of Otago – Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka-led study has found.
Triaptosis could be a promising strategy in the fight against cancer
Cancer remains one of the most critical global public health challenges, exerting profound social, economic, and clinical burdens while limiting gains in human life expectancy.
Study shines new light on how cancer avoids the mitotic stopwatch pathway
When cell division (mitosis) takes too long, it can be a sign that something is wrong with the cells, for example DNA damage or chromosomal instability.
Young adolescents participating in organized sports less likely to show oppositional-defiant behavior
Young adolescents, especially boys, who participated in organized sports between ages 6 and 10 are less likely to defy their parents, teachers and other authority figures, a new study by researchers in Canada and Italy suggests.
Researchers map how brain networks differ in individuals at high clinical risk for psychosis
Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), and NHG Health's Institute of Mental Health (IMH) have mapped how brain networks differ in individuals at Clinical High Risk (CHR) for psychosis, providing a new perspective on the mechanisms underlying the disease onset.
EpilepsyGTx raises $33 million Series A to develop single dose gene therapy for focal refractory epilepsy
EpilepsyGTx, a biotechnology company focused on research and development of cutting-edge gene therapies to treat refractory epilepsy, today announced it has raised $33 million in a Series A financing to advance its lead program EPY201 through Phase 1/2a clinical trials.
VALANX Biotech establishes Board of Directors
VALANX Biotech (VALANX), a biotech company developing novel antibody-drug-conjugate (ADC) assets enabled by its GoldenSite™ site-specific protein conjugation technology, today announced the formation of its Board of Directors.
National study maps where food additives come from in children’s and adults’ diets
By analysing nationally representative diet data, researchers show that food additives rarely occur alone, with children and teenagers experiencing the highest exposure to complex additive mixtures largely driven by ultra-processed foods.
Sterilized fermented beverage targets obesity and type 2 diabetes pathways in computational study
Researchers profiled a terminally sterilized probiotic-fermented MFH beverage and identified aporphine alkaloids and flavonoids with favorable predicted ADMET properties. Integrated network pharmacology, molecular docking, and 100-ns MD simulations suggest multi-target engagement of metabolic-inflammatory pathways relevant to obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Researchers discover new biomarker of "complicated" mild- to severe-pediatric traumatic brain injury
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh discovered a promising new biomarker of "complicated" mild- to severe-pediatric traumatic brain injury, or TBI.
SIRT3 deficiency worsens eustachian tube dysfunction during middle-ear infection
Middle-ear infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria remain among the most common pediatric illnesses worldwide.
New arts and wellbeing program supports the social needs of families affected by dementia
A new arts and wellbeing program co-developed by the University of South Australia, Flinders University and the University of Adelaide shows that supporting the social needs of people living with dementia and their carers can help families rediscover connection, confidence and a sense of community.
State-funded multidisciplinary model improves care for adults with neurodevelopmental disorders
Adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) often lose access to specialized care once they age out of pediatric services.
Blinking suppression reveals how the brain filters speech in noisy environments
Blinking is a human reflex most often performed without thinking, like breathing. Although research on blinking is usually related to vision, a new Concordia study examines how blinking is connected to cognitive function such as filtering out background noise to focus on what someone is trying to say to us in a crowded room.
SwRI and Trinity researchers work on next-generation intranasal therapy for PTSD
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and Trinity University are developing an intranasal (IN) drug-device combination to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Nanoflower-treated stem cells deliver healthier mitochondria to stressed cells
This study shows that vacancy-engineered MoS₂ nanoflowers drive mitochondrial biogenesis in human mesenchymal stem cells by activating SIRT1–PGC-1α signaling and reducing oxidative stress. These treated cells transfer more functional mitochondria to injured recipient cells, restoring energy metabolism and redox balance in multiple in vitro models.
Mammary glands of domesticated livestock and humans can harbor could harbor avian influenza
An ongoing outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza has affected more than 184 million domestic poultry since 2022 and, since making the leap to dairy cattle in spring 2024, more than 1,000 milking cow herds.
Doctors warn about cardiovascular dangers from excessive energy drink use
Downing several strong energy drinks every day may pose a serious stroke risk, doctors have warned in the journal BMJ Case Reports, after treating an otherwise fit and healthy man in his 50s with a daily 8-can habit and exceedingly high blood pressure.
