Medical Xpress / Transparent data-sharing is a powerful signal of study quality in pregnancy research
A global study led by researchers at the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health, Monash University, has found that clinical trials that share their raw data are significantly more likely to be trustworthy and well-conducted, ...
Medical Xpress / An FDA-approved drug halts Epstein-Barr virus-driven lymphoma by disrupting a key cancer pathway
Scientists at The Wistar Institute have discovered that a class of FDA-approved cancer drugs known as PARP1 inhibitors can effectively combat Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-driven lymphomas. The findings, published in the Journal ...
Medical Xpress / Ethnic minority and poorer children more likely to die in intensive care, research finds
Children from ethnic minority backgrounds and those living in areas with higher levels of child poverty were more likely to die in intensive care than white children and those from the least deprived areas.
Medical Xpress / New research uncovers link between cancer pathway and blood-retina barrier function
A University of Minnesota Medical School-led research team has discovered that a cancer signaling pathway has previously unrecognized roles in retina and brain blood vessels. The findings were recently published in Science ...
Medical Xpress / Study: Quick, pain-free breast imaging system shows promise in early clinical tests
A breast scan for detecting cancer takes less than a minute using an experimental system that combines photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging, according to a study in IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging.
Medical Xpress / Content or form? The two possible paths of our memories
If memories are the black box of our past, they can also shed light on the present by giving meaning to new situations. But how does memory retrieve either surface matches (based on same places, same people) or deeper, more ...

Doctors are at higher risk of depression, anxiety and suicide than almost any other profession. Now, a global review led by UNSW Sydney and Black Dog Institute reveals which intervention approaches can help—and where urgent ...
Medical Xpress / Hypothermia alters glucose metabolism and may reveal mechanisms of metabolic disease
Some mammals are capable of hibernating during periods of low food availability in an effort to conserve energy and survive. While it is easy to understand why species have evolved this survival mechanism, exactly how these ...
Medical Xpress / Universal stem cells reset immunity in a systemic sclerosis patient
Research led by Naval Medical University's Changzheng Hospital in China reports that an off-the-shelf cell therapy built from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) loosened life-limiting skin and organ scarring in a woman ...
Medical Xpress / Exploring safer energy drink recipes to protect dental enamel
Adding specific calcium compounds to a popular energy drink reduced dental enamel erosion in vitro, with a calcium/phosphorus/potassium complex offering the strongest protection, according to Universidade do Estado do Rio ...
Medical Xpress / Computational models explore how regions of the visual cortex jointly represent visual information
Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex, the network of regions ...
Medical Xpress / 'Harmless' virus might trigger Parkinson's disease, researchers say
A common virus once thought harmless to humans might be linked to Parkinson's disease, a new study says. The germ, Human Pegivirus (HPgV), was found in half the autopsied brains of patients with Parkinson's, but not in any ...
