A new study, led by scientists from Harvard University, is offering more compelling evidence of a link between the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and the gut microbiome. One researcher described the discovery as “remarkable”, after … Continue reading ALS and gut bacteria linked in “remarkable” new Harvard study
A new article from a quartet of scientific leaders, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), is outlining the challenges to overcome in the development of a COVID-19 vaccine over the next o… Continue reading Several COVID-19 vaccines necessary to overcome pandemic, experts say
A new case report, published in the journal Frontiers in Oncology, describes the discovery of throat cancer in a subject using a novel saliva test designed to detect human papillomavirus virus (HPV). The patient displayed no clinical cancer symptoms, b… Continue reading Promising new HPV saliva test detects early-stage throat cancer
A new study published in the journal Nature has homed in on the sex-specific activity of a certain gene that both increases the risk of developing schizophrenia and decreases the risk of developing lupus. The research suggests a person’s sex can direct… Continue reading Gene study explores why some diseases affect men and women differently
Researchers from Stanford University have developed a breakthrough technique that combines two diabetes drugs into a single injection. Previously these two compounds required separate injections, creating a barrier for treatment that led to very few di… Continue reading New two-in-one injection promises diabetics better blood sugar control
New research conducted by a University of Exeter medical school student may have discovered a novel early-stage biomarker for a number of different cancers. The research found subjects with abnormally small red blood cells were twice as likely to be di… Continue reading Small red blood cells could be novel early-stage cancer biomarker
A compelling new study, led by scientists from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, has found a novel gene therapy can prevent obesity and build muscle without the need for additional exercise, in mice being fed a high-fat diet.Contin… Continue reading Experimental gene therapy prevents obesity, builds muscle, without exercise or dieting
In its seventh year the BigPicture photography competition has rapidly cemented its position as one of the most impressive nature photography contests around, and this year’s winning images are no exception, from the gorgeous grand prize winning shot o… Continue reading The bizarre and beautiful winners of the 2020 BigPicture photo award
New evidence has been published in the journal Science Advances, adding weight to the link between Alzheimer’s disease and the common herpes virus. The Tufts University study, using a 3D bioengineered brain model, demonstrated how a herpes infection can induce a number of Alzheimer’s features, including neuroinflammation and amyloid plaques.
