Medical Xpress / Blood samples uncover concussion in older adults, offering more objective diagnosis
Researchers at Monash University and The Alfred are pioneering a method of analyzing blood samples to diagnose concussion in people aged over 60, the world's most at-risk group for the condition. Concussion, or mild traumatic ...
Medical Xpress / National index tracks AI health care regulations as policy patchwork grows
As artificial intelligence rapidly enters health care, policymakers and health systems are struggling to keep pace with the implications for how the technology should be governed to ensure patient safety, provider accountability, ...
Phys.org / Synthesized peptides can slip into cells to block hard-to-target protein interactions
Many diseases are driven by proteins interacting with each other inside cells. But blocking these interactions with drugs is difficult because typical "small-molecule" drugs often prove to be too small to grip the broad, ...
Medical Xpress / Tiny brain probe reveals how deep-brain neurons can be measured and manipulated
A new breakthrough technology, co-developed by UCL scientists, that simultaneously records and manipulates neuron activity deep within the brain could transform our understanding of neural circuits and neurological conditions, ...
Phys.org / RNA 'cut-and-patch' tool repairs faulty messages without altering DNA
A research team from the School of Biomedical Sciences at the LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), has achieved a significant advance in biotechnology that could revolutionize treatment strategies ...
Medical Xpress / Why some tumors resist immunotherapy: Blocking miR-25 may help turn 'cold' cancers 'hot'
Immune checkpoint therapy, a type of cancer immunotherapy that helps the immune system recognize and attack tumors, has transformed cancer treatment. While these therapies can produce long-lasting benefits for some patients, ...
Phys.org / ESA selects two new scout-class missions
When it comes to understanding Earth and our changing environment, space is the place. Not only does it give us an overall holistic view of the planet below, but satellite-based imagery can transcend national boundaries and ...
Medical Xpress / Hormone therapy use for menopause declines despite proven benefits, study finds
Hormone therapy use among women in the U.S. remains low, even though it's an effective treatment for many menopause symptoms, according to a new Mayo Clinic study published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
Medical Xpress / Brain predicts next words in milliseconds, mirroring AI language models
Even while listening, the brain attempts to anticipate the next words. This is the conclusion reached by a current study conducted by an interdisciplinary team of researchers led by PD Dr. Patrick Krauss, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität ...
Phys.org / Living brain gene activity revealed noninvasively through programmable blood test
Cell function is determined by how DNA is expressed into proteins. That process includes two main steps—transcription, when messenger RNA (mRNA) makes copies of active genes; and translation, when mRNA guides protein assembly.
Phys.org / Fast-moving droplets synthesize key drug compounds at room temperature, no catalysts needed
Chemical reactions are the backbone to nearly all biological processes, including those used to make new medicines. However, these reactions can often take considerable time and require harsh conditions or materials—potentially ...
Medical Xpress / Marketed as natural and nicotine-free, these cigarettes hide hazards far worse than most buyers expect
Herbal cigarettes, widely sold in India and abroad as natural, tobacco-free, and even therapeutic alternatives to conventional cigarettes, are not safer than regular tobacco cigarettes. They produce emissions that can be ...
