Medical Xpress / Detecting diseases through body odor? New laser technology shows potential for non-invasive diagnostics
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS and the Technical University of Dresden have tested a new approach for investigating disease-related changes in body odor. Using laser-based photoacoustic ...
Phys.org / Feeling like you are losing ground predicts suicidal ideation more than income or age
New research finds that people are far more likely to report suicidal ideation when they perceive their lives as getting worse relative to their recent past, rather than because of their income, age or health status alone.
Medical Xpress / A new era of discovery for immunology: Expert Q& A
When two people become ill at the same time, they often experience different symptoms. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, some people had symptoms akin to a mild flu, while others were critically ill. Similarly, ...
Medical Xpress / Repots shows 9 of 10 leading causes of death unchanged from 2023 to 2024
The leading causes of death in the United States remained similar in 2024 and 2023, according to the Sept. 22 National Vital Statistics Reports, a publication from the National Center for Health Statistics.
Phys.org / Mapping the 'social network' of proteins in the cell to understand how genes shape living things
One of biology's fundamental questions is how our genes shape who we are. Adrian Serohijos and Stephen Michnick, professors in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine at Université de Montréal's Faculty of Medicine, ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental mRNA therapy dramatically extends treatment window for acetaminophen overdose in preclinical models
When a patient arrives at the hospital with an acetaminophen overdose, it's often a race against the clock. The only FDA-approved antidote for overdose-related liver injury, N‑acetylcysteine, must be administered within hours ...
Phys.org / Automated lipid nanoparticle production could accelerate the development of RNA therapies
RNA vaccines and other nucleic acid therapeutics are typically packaged within fatty molecules known as lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). MIT researchers have now developed a way to produce these particles much more quickly and ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists overcome key barrier to self-amplifying vaccines
Scientists at Queen Mary University of London have found a way to overcome cells' natural defenses against self-amplifying mRNA vaccines, allowing the cells to produce significantly more of the target protein. The findings ...
Phys.org / New formulation helps RNA vaccines withstand high temperatures
RNA vaccines, which have proved effective against COVID-19, are now being developed for many other diseases, including cancer. One drawback is that they require ultracold storage, but MIT researchers have found a promising ...
Medical Xpress / Continuous glucose monitoring may lower mortality risk in diabetic patients on insulin
People with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who began using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) while receiving basal insulin had a 44% lower risk of dying from any cause after one year than those who did not use CGM, according to ...
Medical Xpress / Routine newborn screening could catch cytomegalovirus infections before problems appear
A newborn can look perfectly healthy, pass a hearing test and still carry an infection that may affect hearing or development later in childhood. That is the challenge posed by congenital cytomegalovirus, or cCMV, one of ...
Medical Xpress / Database fills gap in long COVID surveillance
UTHealth Houston researchers found that long COVID diagnoses varied significantly across populations and variant periods over two years, revealing patterns that could help public health agencies and health systems target ...
