A growing body of evidence suggests that virtual reality (VR) technology can be an effective part of treatment for phobias, posttraumatic stress disorder, and other mental health conditions, according to new research.
Researchers in dermatology at Lund University in Sweden believe they have cracked the mystery of why our bodies can quickly prevent an infection from spreading uncontrollably during wounding. They believe this knowledge may be significant in developing new ways to counteract bacteria.
Dendritic cells are gatekeepers of immunity and crucial for the detection and initiation of immunity against pathogens and foreign substances. Up to now, dendritic cell subtypes were thought to develop from one common progenitor. New findings from a team of researchers show with single cell resolution that this important component…
Genetic alterations that can be modulated by stress have been identified in children at high risk for bipolar disorder, according to a new study...
Understanding evolution is one of the cornerstones of biology - evolution is, in fact, the sole explanation for life's diversity on our planet. Based on the evolution of proteins, researchers may explain the emergence of new species and functions through genetic changes or how enzymes with novel functions might be…
Researchers have identified a metabolite 'signature' that can accurately distinguish typhoid from other fever-inducing tropical diseases using patient blood samples.
A protein that typically helps keep cells organised and on task becomes a tumour suppressor in the face of liver cancer, scientists say.
A new cell separator that began life as a tinfoil and epoxy glue prototype built with supplies from a University shop could revolutionise stem-cell and regenerative cell-based therapies.
Scientists have created an innovative technique for studying how chlamydia interacts with the human immune system...
New research provides insights into why infection with Zika virus after birth generally causes only mild symptoms, whereas devastating foetal malformations can develop when infection occurs during pregnancy.
Changes leading to the hyperactivation of the protein kinase Akt are observed in 50% of all tumours. Understanding Akt’s regulatory mechanisms is therefore essential for developing and improving cancer therapies....
SMi Group’s 3rd In Vitro Diagnostics conference will be take place on the 14th & 15th of June in London, bringing together global leading experts within the medical industry as they focus on the latest international trends within the field...
Pluristem Therapeutics announced the promising results of its non-human primates (NHP) pilot study for PLX-R18 as a treatment for Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS).
Researchers have developed AI based data analysis methods used in a smartphone app which can estimate its users' health risks...
Viruses are notorious for taking over their host's operations and using them to their own advantage. But few human viruses make themselves quite as cozy as the Epstein-Barr virus, which can be found in an estimated 9/10 humans without causing any ill effects. That is, until this virus causes mononucleosis…
