People reveal more personal information when you ask them the same questions a second time – according to new research from the University of East Anglia. A new study reveals how simple repetition can make people over-disclose, and potentially put them… Continue reading Cybercriminals use simple trick to obtain personal data
Light-activated antibody therapy could pave the way for new acutely targeted treatment of cancer cells. Scientists at the University of East Anglia in the UK have successfully engineered antibody fragments that are activated by a specific UV light wave… Continue reading Light therapy could ease side effects for cancer sufferers
New research has found hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be linked with better brain health and cognition among women with a high genetic risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. The findings are observational, and cannot determine causality, but they do build on a body of study trying to understand why women are generally more likely to develop Alzheimer’s compared to men.

A landmark study has identified five types of bacteria associated with aggressive prostate cancer. It is unclear at this stage whether the bacteria is directly causing the cancer but the researchers are confident they can develop new tests to identify … Continue reading Aggressive prostate cancer linked to newly discovered bacteria species
Scientists at the University of East Anglia have found a way to accurately measure the age of lobsters using changes in their DNA. The new study made in collaboration with the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) and the Na… Continue reading DNA aids scientists in measuring the age of lobsters
Scientists from the UK and Italy have found fecal transplants from old mice to young mice result in the younger animals displaying learning and memory impairments. The findings build on a growing body of research linking age-related cognitive decline with gut microbiome changes.

A new study claims that in the next 80 years, the global land area exposed to coastal flooding as a result of climate change is set to increase by roughly 50 percent, threatening tens of millions of people, and up to 20 percent of global GPD. The autho… Continue reading Coastal flooding could put 20 percent of global GDP at peril
Two newly published studies are presenting novel diagnostic techniques to help catch the most aggressive forms of prostate cancer at an early stage. A University of East Anglia study presents an innovative way to measure gene expression in tumor sample… Continue reading New diagnostic tools aim to catch aggressive prostate cancer early
Two new studies are offering promising progress in the development of novel diagnostic tests to detect and monitor prostate cancer. The research presents a urine test that can detect the disease in its early stages and a blood test that may catch the c… Continue reading Promising progress on blood and urine tests for prostate cancer
