Cadmium and foetal development
Researchers at Rutgers School of Public Health have made significant strides in comprehending the effects of cadmium, a toxic metal, on foetal development during pregnancy.
Novel vaccine key to reduce Alzheimer’s impact
Promising preliminary research reveals a novel vaccine targeting an Alzheimer’s disease-related protein successfully eliminated toxic cells in mice afflicted with the condition.
Primary cilia’s role in cartilage regeneration after growth plate fractures
Activation of the Hedgehog signalling pathway through cilia holds promise for promoting cartilage repair and overcoming growth plate injuries.
HPV vaccine cost reimbursement could hinder vaccine access
Bare minimum reimbursement rates could be why some clinics may be struggling to offer HPV vaccination in the US.
MSK1’s importance for cognitive benefits
New study uncovers role of a neuronal protein kinase called mitogen- and stress-activated protein kinase 1 (MSK1) in mediating the cognitive benefits of environmental enrichment.
New computational tool may fuel vaccine development
La Jolla biologists harness machine learning and computational tools to make sense of immune system data.
Newly discovered mechanism behind cognitive decline in aging
US researchers say new mechanism could lead to new drugs and therapies to treat normal cognitive decline in aging.
Alcohol-associated liver disease linked to abnormal splicing deregulation
Splicing deregulation is potential drug target and diagnostic tool, but can be affected by alcohol consumption and thus chronic liver disease.
Are female mice better protected against obesity?
The University of California underwent a mouse study disclosing underlying sex differences in mice for obesity.
Extracellular vesicles could slow spread of fibrosis
US researchers studied the extracellular vesicles of fibrosis and find potential avenue for new treatments and therapeutics.
Harnessing machine learning for early cancer detection in primary care
Machine learning (ML) presents a promising opportunity to revolutionize early cancer detection in primary care, addressing the challenges associated with diagnostic errors and improving patient outcomes. The potential of ML in this field is highlighted in a recent paper published in Oncoscience
Bodybuilding supplement may help delay Alzheimer’s
US researchers uncover that body building supplement: HMB, may help stop the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
A structural insight into HIV drug-resistance mechanisms
New Salk Institute, US, research could lead to the development of new HIV therapeutics that overcome resistance to existing drugs.
Novel targets identified for treatment of schistosomiasis
Researchers from Brazil discovered that survival of the parasitic worm that cause the disease schistosomiasis, depends on expression of a specific type of RNA. In animal trials, inhibition of the molecule interrupted the infection.
