The University of Zurich is launching a new WHO Collaborating Centre for Physical Activity and Health. The Physical Activity and Health Unit and other groups of the Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Prevention Institute will support the Physical Activity Strategy for the World Health Organization (WHO) European Region.
Obese mice with a particular version of a gene strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in humans show increased Alzheimer's pathology, according to new research published in eNeuro.
Researchers have pioneered a technique which uses florescent imaging to track the actions of key enzymes in cancer, genetic disorders and kidney disease.
Almost 6,000 new cases of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, or ALL, are expected to be diagnosed this year in the United States. The blood cancer can affect both children and adults.
Researchers have developed a molecular compound that improves balance and coordination in mice with early stage Parkinson's disease.
Artificial intelligence can be used to recognise difficult to predict complications as early as possible within the home care of heart patients.
Scientists have armed immune cells with a new surface molecule that causes them to respond aggressively when they encounter a protein that tumours actually use to camouflage themselves from the immune system. Researchers from the Helmholtz Zentrum München and various partners introduced the method in ‘Cancer Research’.
Researchers at The Australian National University (ANU) are working on a new treatment for an aggressive type of leukaemia that outperforms standard chemotherapies.
In preliminary research, an antiplatelet drug based on a snake venom protein prevented blood clotting without leading to excessive bleeding, a dangerous side effect of currently available antiplatelet drugs. The venom protein may be the template for a new class of antiplatelet drugs that offers fewer bleeding complications.
A newly discovered mechanism behind reduced insulin production in type 2 diabetes is now being presented.
Sophia Genetics injects artificial intelligence in liquid biopsies to accelerate early detection of cancer and monitor treatments’ effectiveness.
Scientists have created a nanoparticle that carries two different antibodies capable of simultaneously switching off cancer cells’ defensive properties while switching on a robust anti-cancer immune response in mice.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital discovery of a regulatory enzyme working at the primary cilium could lead to treatments for the brain tumour medulloblastoma.
Before new nanoparticles or other nanomedicines can be injected into the human body, a whole series of tests must be conducted in the laboratory, then in living cells, and in the end on humans.
