Understanding how mRNA stability influences immune diseases

Fri, 09/05/2025 - 15:59
A pizza shop with 30 delivery people ought to be able to deliver a lot of pizzas - if their cars don't break down on the way.

How mechanical changes in lung tissue trigger fibrosis

Fri, 09/05/2025 - 15:55
Fibrosis of the lungs is often a silent disease until it's too late. By the time patients are diagnosed, the scarring of their lung tissue is already advanced, and current treatments offer little more than a slowing of the inevitable.

Social isolation drives reward-seeking behavior in teens

Over five percent of children and adolescents are diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) globally.

Semaglutide may one day be used to treat cocaine addiction

Fri, 09/05/2025 - 10:29
A drug already prescribed for type 2 diabetes and obesity may one day be used to treat cocaine addiction. In animal studies, researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, found that semaglutide reduced both cocaine use and relapse.

Scientists uncover human proteins hijacked by SARS-CoV-2 for replication

Fri, 09/05/2025 - 00:25
Despite vaccines and treatments, SARS-CoV-2-the virus that causes COVID-19-continues to pose a global health threat, driven by new variants and its ability to hijack human cells in ways that still aren't fully understood.

Study shows sharp increase in kidney disease deaths linked to high blood pressure

Fri, 09/05/2025 - 00:13
The death rate from hypertensive kidney disease (high blood pressure-related kidney disease) increased by 48% in the U.S. over the past 25 years, with continued differences across demographic groups, according to preliminary research presented at the American Heart Association's Hypertension Scientific Sessions 2025.

HER2 and CD24 emerge as promising radiotheranostic targets in endometrial cancer

Fri, 09/05/2025 - 00:00
Two molecular targets-human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) and cluster of differentiation 24 (CD24)-are highly promising candidates for new nuclear diagnostics and therapeutics for endometrial cancer, according to new research published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

Research on marmosets sheds light on how babies learn to talk

Thu, 09/04/2025 - 23:44
When a baby babbles and their parents respond, these back-and-forth exchanges are more than adorable-if-incoherent chatter - they help to build a baby's emerging language skills.

Clinical trial finds pork meals enhance recovery and mood in military cadets

Thu, 09/04/2025 - 22:43
A newly published clinical trial in Nutrients highlights pork's role in military nutrition, showing that meals containing lean pork support better recovery, mood and anabolic status in cadets performing intense tactical fitness exercises compared to plant-based meals.

Mucus-inspired hydrogel improves healing in animal models of gastric injury

Thu, 09/04/2025 - 22:25
Hydrogels-materials like gelatin that can absorb and hold water-can aid wound healing and enable slow-release drug delivery, but they usually break down in acidic environments like the stomach.

Overprotective parenting linked to higher anxiety in first year university students

Thu, 09/04/2025 - 22:19
First-year undergraduates who grew up with overly cautious or controlling parents tend to experience increased anxiety when faced with stresses associated with the transition to university, researchers from McGill University and the University of California (Los Angeles) have found.

Study: Not all dietary proteins are digested equally in the gut

Thu, 09/04/2025 - 21:50
As protein-rich diets become increasingly popular, a new study suggests that categorizing dietary proteins as either animal- or plant-based fails to effectively capture the source-specific differences in their composition, digestive efficiency and accessibility to the gut microbiota.
