Researchers have developed a groundbreaking vaccine that generates two types of immunity against the Epstein-Barr virus, a virus that almost all of us carry and which has been found to be a primary cause of diseases like multiple sclerosis and some can… Continue reading Groundbreaking Epstein-Barr virus vaccine may prevent MS
The death of a loved one following a cancer battle can trigger prolonged grief that can seemingly cause life to come to a standstill. It can also be difficult to treat with traditional medication and therapy, leaving the griever ‘stuck’ in this stage f… Continue reading Landmark trial to treat grief from cancer loss with psychedelics
The largest-ever global genetic study of glaucoma has uncovered more genes associated with the disease, including never-before-identified genes that could be targeted to prevent the optic nerve damage that leads to irreversible blindness.Continue Readi… Continue reading Genetic discovery could lead to a treatment for glaucoma blindness
Australian researchers have achieved two firsts that will assist in the global battle against heart disease: they created a tiny beating heart with its own vascular system and then uncovered how the vascular system affects inflammation-driven heart dam… Continue reading World-first vascularization to advance global research into heart disease

A new study led by Australian researchers is offering further insight into how a novel ultrasound technique could help treat Alzheimer’s disease. The findings describe how focused ultrasound can weaken the blood-brain barrier in brain cells from Alzheimer’s patients, potentially improving the uptake of drugs designed to treat the disease.

Adding fuel, or removing it – depending on your position – to the bonfire of endless coffee debates comes the latest large study. This time, researchers looked at data from over 300,000 people for possible links between coffee and cancer, and… Continue reading New study says daily coffee has no impact on cancer risk
A massive global study into the genetic origins of anorexia nervosa is suggesting this illness is not just a psychiatric condition but also a metabolic disorder. The research revealed metabolic genetic variants influencing fat burning, physical activity and other factors unique to those suffering from this chronic eating disorder, and not seen in other psychiatric conditions.
