Research unveils cost disparities and information challenges faced by fertility patients in the UK
A new study from Queen Mary University of London has unveiled significant cost disparities and information challenges faced by fertility patients in the UK.
City of Hope researchers uncover the two-step process of tumor formation
Researchers at City of Hope, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the U.S. with its National Medical Center named top 5 in the nation for cancer by U.S. News & World Report, have found that cell mutations are necessary but not always sufficient for tumors to form.
Understanding how the brain processes positive and negative stimuli
Researchers analyzed mice's D1 and D2 neurons to understand how they code and respond to appetitive and aversive stimuli.
Early work start times linked to discomfort with seasonal time changes
Those who start work earlier express more discomfort with the seasonal time change. This is the main conclusion of a study that the lecturers at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) and the University of Seville (US), Jorge Mira Pérez and José María Martín Olalla, have just published in the journal Chronobiology International, in which they analyze in detail the results of the public consultation organised by the European Commission in 2018 in the then 28 member states, which obtained 4 million responses.
COVID-19 Vaccines May Cut Risk of Long COVID
Full COVID-19 vaccination may reduce post-COVID-19 condition risk by 27%, though more research is needed, especially for children and immunocompromised groups.
Exercise of any kind boosts brainpower at any age
Whether it’s an early morning jog, or a touch of Tai Chi, groundbreaking research from the University of South Australia shows that any form of exercise can significantly boost brain function and memory across children, adults, and older adults.
Microneedles accelerate diabetic wound healing in preclinical models
Diabetic wounds often lead to severe complications that can result in amputations. These chronic and non-healing wounds are marked by persistent inflammation, affecting more than six per cent of the global population.
Cedars-Sinai study shows rapid healing of heart damage with cell therapy
A scientific technique that rapidly increases the body's production of anti-inflammatory cells promoted healing from heart attacks in mice, according to a new study by investigators from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai. Once adapted to treat humans, the technique could potentially be used to repair heart muscle damage after a heart attack and be applied to a variety of inflammatory disorders.
Addressing errors in emergency medicine
Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM), the peer-reviewed journal of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM), has published its March issue dedicated to the topic of errors in emergency care, with a strong emphasis on diagnostic error.
New guidelines recommend 2 hours of weekly exercise for postpartum women
New mums should be strongly encouraged to begin clocking up at least two hours of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity such as brisk walking and muscle strengthening exercises each week in the first three months after birth, when physically able, to improve health and well-being, say experts in a new guideline published by the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
Study develops fused neural organoids with leptomeninges
A new study in the peer-reviewed journal Stem Cells and Development describes the development of a co-culture system of neural organoids generated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) fused with fetal leptomeninges from mice with fluorescently labeled meninges, called leptomeningeal neural organoid (LMNO) fusions.
Heart structure changes and their impact on organ function
Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. The heart is the central organ of the human circulatory system. Both congenital and acquired structural changes in the heart can lead to hemodynamic alterations affecting the function of various organs, including the brain.
Report shows alarming measles resurgence in Europe and US
A recent report shows cases of measles across the World Health Organization's European Region, which includes the UK, are the highest they've been for more than 25 years. At the same time, large outbreaks of measles in the US have led to the first measles deaths there since 2015.
Global analysis of antimicrobial resistance in campylobacter
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. The zoonotic pathogen Campylobacter is a major foodborne bacterial species worldwide. The distribution and drivers of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in global Campylobacter strains remain largely unknown. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of longitudinal trends and driving factors of AMR in Campylobacter is necessary at a global level.
New study challenges assumptions about youth and digital media
A groundbreaking new study of young people's digital media use has revealed surprising results, including evidence that smartphone ownership may actually benefit children.
Genetic and environmental factors in schizophrenia
Schizophrenia affects millions worldwide, yet its causes remain one of the greatest medical mysteries. In an exclusive Genomic Press Interview, Dr. Consuelo Walss-Bass, a pioneering researcher in psychiatric genetics, shares how both genetic predisposition and environmental factors contribute to severe mental health disorders.
TikTok fuels ADHD self-diagnosis with misleading content, study shows
Psychologists find most TikTok videos about ADHD to be misleading, often overgeneralizing normal behaviors as symptoms. These videos shape young adults’ perceptions and contribute to rising self-diagnosis trends.
Study shows red wine biomarkers in urine can predict inflammation levels
Researchers found that specific metabolites of resveratrol in urine accurately reflect red wine consumption. These biomarkers were linked to reduced inflammation in older adults at cardiovascular risk, unlike traditional food surveys.
Early antibiotic exposure may boost risk of diabetes later in life
Exposure to antibiotics during a key developmental window in infancy can stunt the growth of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas and may boost risk of diabetes later in life, new research in mice suggests.
Epigenetic scores offer new insights into cardiometabolic disease prevention
A new study explores how epigenetic markers-chemical modifications that influence gene activity-can help predict the risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases and guide personalized prevention strategies.
