Direct-acting antivirals for HCV-related hepatocellular carcinoma reduces the risk of tumor progression

In a new cohort study of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a disease with a high recurrence rate, researchers at the Osaka City University Graduate School of Medicine reported that after receiving cancer treatment, the oral administration of direct-acting antivirals (DAA) reduces the risk of tumor progression following recurrence of the liver disease.

Study examines the link between housework and functional health among older adults

Housework is linked to sharper memory, attention span, and better leg strength, and by extension, greater protection against falls, in older adults, finds research published in the open access journal BMJ Open.

Characterization of B-cell receptor repertoires in COVID-19 patients

In a new study published in the journal Human Immunology, scientists sought to better understand how B-cell immune repertoire changes over time during SARS-CoV-2 infection by comprehensively characterizing the dynamics of immunoglobin heavy chain (IGH) repertoire in COVID-19 patients.

Study shows how inadequate sleep can jeopardize brain organization in early adolescence

We all know that if we don't get enough sleep or don't sleep well, we won't be on top of our game the next day.

Similar brain responses to speech sounds found in humans, macaques and guinea pigs

Speech sounds elicit comparable neural responses and stimulate the same region in the brain of humans, macaques and guinea pigs, a multidisciplinary group of University of Pittsburgh researchers reported in the journal eNeuro today.

Human lung airway-on-a-chip faithfully recapitulates cystic fibrosis pathology

The inherited progressive disorder cystic fibrosis (CF) causes severe damage to the lungs, and other tissues in the body by affecting the cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive juices.

Brain stimulation can modulate thought processes related to problem solving

New methods of brain stimulation are being tested to see whether they can be used to enhance cognitive behavior. In this study, researchers from Japan have found that stimulation at specific frequencies can modulate thought processes related to problem solving.

Severe COVID-19 patients have significantly higher NK and T cell frequency

A new study published in the open-access journal Cells aimed to clarify the role of NK and T cell subsets in SARS-CoV-2 infection in hospitalized COVID-19 patients to unravel their potential association with disease severity.

New study highlights the important role of rare genomic differences in OCD risk

Both rare and commonly observed differences in the DNA letters strung along a person's chromosomes can explain about a third of the risk for being diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), according to a new study led by scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
