Scientists demonstrate a new nano-vaccine preventing the spread of melanoma

A new nano-vaccine is showing promising results in treating skin cancer in mouse models. Developed by scientists at Tel Aviv University, the prospective vaccine encases two experimental new cancer drugs inside a tiny nanoparticle, with initia… Continue reading Scientists demonstrate a new nano-vaccine preventing the spread of melanoma

Mouse study suggests vibration therapy can reduce inflammation and improve the microbiome

A new study suggests simple vibration therapy can beneficially alter the gut microbiome, and reduce diabetes-related inflammation. The research at this point has only been verified in mouse models, and prior human vibration therapy studies in… Continue reading Mouse study suggests vibration therapy can reduce inflammation and improve the microbiome

Scientists home in on six forms of exercise to best combat obesity genes

A team of scientists from Taiwan is suggesting not all exercise is equal when it comes to those with a genetic propensity for obesity trying to lose weight. The study concluded jogging was better for weight loss than either swimming or cyclin… Continue reading Scientists home in on six forms of exercise to best combat obesity genes

Alzheimer’s blood test could replace PET brain scans after hitting 94 percent accuracy

A new blood test for Alzheimer's could enable the rapid screening of patients for clinical trials ...

A new study from scientists at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis is suggesting a novel blood test can identify subjects at an early stage of Alzheimer’s disease, years before any symptoms appear. The blood test may even be more accurate than PET brain scans, and is hoped to accelerate screening of patients for participation in clinical trials.

Breakthrough discovery of signal cancers use to hide from immune system

New research reveals some cancer cells signal "don't eat me" to nearby immune cells through a ...

Cancer cells often deploy specific “don’t eat me” signals to hide from immune cells. A breakthrough new study from Stanford University has homed in on a previously undiscovered signaling protein that, if effectively inhibited, may lead to new treatments for breast, ovarian, and other difficult-to-treat cancers.

Association between liver dysfunction and Alzheimer's disease found in new study

Researchers have found a direct correlation between liver function biomarkers in blood samples and neurodegeneration associated ...

A new study is building on the growing association between the liver and Alzheimer’s disease. Suggesting a correlation between blood-based liver function biomarkers and several neurological signs of Alzheimer’s, the research hypothesizes the neurodegenerative disease has broader metabolic effects in organs other than the brain.
