Researchers discovered that after previously being exposed to mustard oil, those with so-called Neanderthal variations in the sensory neuron-related gene SCN9A are more susceptible to pain from skin pricking. Three mutations in the SCN9A gene, referred to as M932L, V991L, and D1908G, have been found in sequenced Neanderthal genomes and there have been reports of increased pain sensitivity in people who possess all three variants. The precise sensory responses impacted by these variations were unknown, though, until this study.
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have proven that a simple blood test is enough for the diagnosis of bipolar disorder. They used a combination of online psychiatric assessments and blood tests to diagnose patients with bipolar disorder.
The initial analysis took place within weeks using X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and infrared measurements. These produced the 3D computer model of the particles which gave an idea about internal and external structure. This analysis gives the initial data about carbon content and water.
A recent research study led by Karin Schelch and Michael Grusch from MedUni Vienna identified the oncoprotein YB-1 as an attractive therapeutic target in PM and demonstrates that indirect targeting of YB-1 is a promising approach to enhance sensitivity to chemo- and radiotherapy.Â
Scientific journals are periodical publications that act as a crucial channel for disseminating intellectual work, scientific information, and research discoveries. These are essential components of the scientific communication process and are critical to the development of several academic disciplines.
The 2023 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine was jointly awarded to Hungarian and U.S. scientists Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.
