Researchers set out to determine the brain and gravity’s effect on eyesight

Colonizing Mars is no longer solely the work of science fiction but a potential future option for people who desire to live among the weightless. For headline grabbers like Jeff Bezos, NASA and Elon Musk, space colonization - or space settlement, a preferred term recommended by Bill Nye - is a big goal for the 21st century.

Brain volume measurements show differences between conventional and ultrafast 3D T1W MRI sequences

According to an article in ARRS' American Journal of Roentgenology, brain volume measurements in memory-impaired patients show significant differences and systematic biases between conventional and ultrafast 3D T1-weighted (T1W) MRI sequences.

First-responder cells launching the repair after heart attack promote inflammation overdrive

First-responder cells launching the repair after a heart attack are so frantic about fixing the damage that they promote more inflammation than necessary, new research in mice suggests.

Drugs that block mineralocorticoid receptor may help protect bone cells during aging

Drugs we take like prednisone can weaken our bones and so can aging, and scientists working to prevent both have some of the first evidence that the best target may not be the logical one.

Researchers discover how the sponginess of stem cell nuclei controls cell differentiation

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered how the sponginess and stickiness of stem cell nuclei controls how they "differentiate" into specialized cells.

Microgravity likely to contribute to life-saving stem cell advances on Earth

The secret to producing large batches of stem cells more efficiently may lie in the near-zero gravity conditions of space. Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have found that microgravity has the potential to contribute to life-saving advances on Earth by facilitating the rapid mass production of stem cells.

Redefining the acetabular safe zone to help avoid the risk of dislocation after hip replacement surgery

A study using artificial intelligence to analyze radiographs from thousands of patients after hip replacement surgery redefines the acetabular "safe zone" to help avoid the risk of dislocation, reports The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery. The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio in partnership with Wolters Kluwer.

Study uncovers new details behind inflammation that promotes cardiovascular disease

High cholesterol and inflammation are key drivers of heart disease, and an inflamed buildup of lipids can cut off the blood supply through a coronary artery to cause a heart attack.

Blocking function of a blood-clotting protein may help prevent or treat periodontal disease

Blocking function of a blood-clotting protein prevented bone loss from periodontal (gum) disease in mice, according to research led by scientists at the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, part of the National Institutes of Health.

Amino acid valine plays a key role in the growth of T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

A molecular building block of many animal proteins, the amino acid valine, plays a key role in cancerous growth seen in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a new study shows.

High-altitude activities may increase the risk of hypoglycemia in people with diabetes

People with diabetes may need to monitor their blood sugar more closely when doing high-altitude activities such as hiking or skiing, according to a small study published in the Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

$Clinical trial shows preliminary efficacy of all-oral regimen for patients with lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma$

Clinical trial shows preliminary efficacy of all-oral regimen for patients with lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma

Early results from an Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology randomized clinical trial of adults with multiple myeloma relapsing on frontline lenalidomide therapy showed that adding ixazomib (Ninlaro®) to pomalidomide and dexamethasone as part of second line therapy extended the length of time patients lived before their disease worsened (progression-free survival) compared with patients who received pomalidomide and dexamethasone.

Genome-wide ancient human DNA data from Sudan reveals new insights into the Nile Valley past

The first genome-wide ancient human DNA data from Sudan reveals new insights into the ancestry and social organization of people who lived more than 1,000 years ago in the Nile Valley, an important genetic and cultural crossroads.
