Brain lesions produced by major brain trauma or stroke can alter neuronal connections between the motor cortex, a critical brain area needed for coordinating voluntary movement, and the muscles.
The mix of microorganisms in the stomach can affect the symptoms of hypopituitarism in mice, according to research from the Francis Crick Institute. Additionally, they demonstrated that aspirin might alleviate the symptoms of hormone insufficiency in these animals. The condition known as hypopituitarism, in which the pituitary gland produces insufficient […]
The outcomes of an international Phase III clinical trial conducted by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and a multicenter group of investigators, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, show that adults with haemophilia B experienced an average 71% reduction in the number of […]
When penicillin was discovered, it was heralded as “the silver bullet” because of its extraordinary ability to eradicate germs that cause illness without endangering humans. Since then, several other antibiotics have been created that target a variety of bacteria; however, the more frequently these antibiotics are used, the higher the […]
Researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Centre have shown that while fever raises immune cell metabolism, proliferation, and activity, it also causes mitochondrial stress, DNA damage, and cell death in a specific subgroup of T cells. Their findings were published in the journal Science Immunology. The corresponding author of the current […]
The report states that vascular dementia is the second most frequent subtype of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease. Still, the two illnesses are different clinically.
A novel vaccine candidate that offers protection against Lassa fever has been developed by researchers from Thomas Jefferson University and the University of Maryland Baltimore, in partnership with the Geneva Foundation and the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). In preclinical animal models, the study, which […]
Findings could inform artificial intelligence research by helping investigators determine how one could develop more distributed neural networks.
A Phase 1/2 trial included 15 individuals in total, among them three pediatric patients. The patients all suffered from the disease Leber congenital amaurosis caused by a gene that is essential in making proteins crucial to vision.
Researchers found that among all proteins, one protein-OSER1, greatly influences longevity.
