Study uncovers alcohol's damaging effects on brain cells through oxidative stress

Alcohol exposure leads to accumulation of oxidatively damaged proteins in neuronal cells. Differentiated cells are more susceptible to alcohol-induced oxidative protein damage despite higher resistance to cytotoxicity.

Deep learning models for predicting prostate cancer recurrence risk from 3D pathology datasets

Human tissue is intricate, complex and, of course, three dimensional. But the thin slices of tissue that pathologists most often use to diagnose disease are two dimensional, offering only a limited glimpse at the tissue's true complexity.

Freshness matters: Study finds newer honey packs a stronger antibacterial punch

Researchers reveal that the antibacterial potency of Hungarian honeys, including their effectiveness against respiratory pathogens, declines with storage time, emphasizing the need for fresh sources in medical applications.

Minimally invasive techniques fight colorectal cancer precursors

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer in the United States. This highlights the importance of early detection and treatment of precancerous lesions like large polyps. Endoscopy offers a minimally invasive approach to removing these polyps, reducing the need for traditional surgery.

IVUS guidance improves angioplasty success rates in patients with peripheral artery disease

One-year success rates from angioplasty procedures to open clogged arteries in the legs were significantly higher among patients whose procedures were guided by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) alongside angiography compared with those whose procedures were guided by angiography alone, in a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session.

Intermittent fasting enhances glucose processing and intestinal health in aging mice

A study conducted in mice found that intermittent fasting brought benefits beyond weight loss, suggesting the practice could help the body better process glucose and reduce age-related declines in intestinal function.

Modeled human embryo produces a membrane that surrounds the developing embryo

A MedUni Vienna study team led by geneticist Markus Hengstschläger has used a stem cell model to model the earliest stages of embryonic development and to characterize the membrane that surrounds the embryo, conferring shape and stability.

Study finds silica, metals higher in lungs of previously deployed military veterans

Since the conflicts that followed 9/11 in 2001, military veterans deployed to areas in Southwest Asia, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa have been developing respiratory diseases caused by inhaling particulate matter linked to their deployment locations and job duties.
