Researchers have transplanted cells capable of forming specialized brain support cells into mice brains and found that they not only competed with and replaced unhealthy cells but aged ones, too. The findings open the door to developing an effective tr… Continue reading Transplant of fresh brain cells replaces diseased and aged ones
For those who struggle to find time to exercise during the week, preferring to do most of it on the weekend, a new study has found that being a “weekend warrior” is still effective at reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading “Weekend warriors” get similar heart benefits to regular exercisers
Researchers have identified three new prostate cancer biomarkers that improve the visibility of cancer cells used by pathologists to grade the disease’s severity. The novel technique could assist in determining which patients require urgent treatment a… Continue reading New prostate cancer biomarkers to help improve diagnosis and treatment
Memory is commonly affected following a traumatic brain injury and may be long-lasting or even permanent. A new study has found that AI-guided electrical brain stimulation in people with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury may successfully treat … Continue reading Targeted brain stimulation improves memory in traumatic brain injury
Australian researchers have identified a novel class of protein found in the saliva of ticks that can switch off the body’s inflammatory response. They say the discovery could lead to a new generation of anti-inflammatory drugs.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading Novel tick saliva protein may lead to next-gen anti-inflammatory drugs
Researchers have used machine learning to assess bone density scans for calcification in the aorta, the body’s main artery. They say their method could be used to predict future cardiovascular and other disease, even before symptoms appear.Continue Rea… Continue reading AI analysis will predict future disease from bone density scans
Researchers have developed a new technique to better detect extraterrestrial radio signals by weeding out the interference caused by Earth-based devices. It’s hoped that the technique will lead to the discovery of the first evidence of life outside our… Continue reading New technique will more accurately detect ET’s signals from space
A new study has found that men with a history of being prescribed antidepressants are significantly more likely to require antidepressants in the first year after having a child.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Depressio… Continue reading New fathers more likely to need antidepressants if they’ve had them before
A new study analyzing 20 years of data has found that our oceans have changed color, indicating a significant shift in marine ecosystems that is likely due to human-caused climate change.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Ocean, Ecosys… Continue reading Climate change is changing the color of our oceans
With the incidence of dementia on the rise, it’s important for older adults to do what they can to prevent or delay the onset of the disease. A new study has found that some everyday activities are more beneficial than others in maintaining brain healt… Continue reading Computers, crosswords & creativity are best for lowering dementia risk
