Scientists have designed an immunotherapy that reduces plaque in the arteries of mice, presenting a possible new treatment strategy against heart disease.
As humans age beyond early adulthood, their physical and mental functions tend to slowly worsen over time. One of the most common sources of severe mental decline in older adults are neurodegenerative diseases, conditions characterized by the progressive loss of neurons in the brain or peripheral nervous system.
When a car accident or athletic injury destroys more than 20% of a muscle’s mass, the body faces a problem it often can’t heal fully on its own. Without intervention, scar tissue fills the injury site and can leave patients with permanent weakness and limited mobility.
Genetic ancestry plays a key role in determining the behavior of head and neck tumors and may help explain why African-American patients survive for half as long as their counterparts of European ancestry, according to a new review study led by researchers from the University of Maryland School of Medicine’s (UMSOM) Institute for Genome Sciences (IGS) and the University of Maryland Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMGCCC).
A tiny roundworm has helped University of Queensland scientists uncover minuscule structures in skin tissue that may protect the body’s ability to feel temperature, touch and pain. The research is published in Science Advances.
Founded by three MIT alumni, Gensaic uses AI-guided protein design to deliver RNA and other therapeutic molecules to specific cells or areas of the body.
Numerous genetic studies have identified many risk variants for type 2 diabetes (T2D)—but which genes and proteins are actually involved in the disease mechanisms?
Ultrasonography is a noninvasive imaging technique used for real-time imaging. This versatile technique is used as a reliable diagnostic tool in various modalities.
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have developed a multimodal, bioelectronic wrist-worn device for objective, continuous, real-time monitoring of stress.
Humans can’t live without lungs, but Ankit Bharat’s patient did for 48 hours.
