Quick, inexpensive leptospirosis test strip kit to help lower death and disability risk

The Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University has brought out a quick, inexpensive, and easy-to-use leptospirosis test strip kit to help lower the risk of disability from internal organ failure and death, with the hopes of distributing them to community hospitals across the country.

Removal of race from kidney function estimates may negatively impact care for Black cancer patients

An accurate assessment of a patient's kidney function is critical for determining eligibility for anticancer treatments.

Metabolic changes take an unexpected path through the human life course

An international research team studying data from thousands of people worldwide has shown that people's metabolisms peak earlier and decline later in life than previously thought.

Metabolism peaks much earlier and starts to decline later than you might think

Most of us remember a time when we could eat anything we wanted and not gain weight. But a new study suggests your metabolism, the rate at which you burn calories, actually peaks much earlier and starts its inevitable decline later than you might think.

Temple researchers receive $1.25M NIH grant to advance understanding of neurodegenerative diseases

Like wear and tear that causes electrical systems to short circuit, neurons in the human nervous system are susceptible to degenerative processes that disrupt the flow of information.

Researchers determine the structure of receptor involved in type 2 diabetes and other pathologies

Researchers from the University of Southern California, Merck & Co., Skoltech, MIPT, UCLA, and the Université de Sherbrooke have determined the structure of the human leukotriene B4 receptor 1, involved in inflammatory, infectious, allergic, and tumorigenic diseases.

Racial and ethnic disparities in maternal deaths in the U.S. may be larger than previously reported

Racial and ethnic disparities in maternal mortality — deaths related to pregnancy or childbirth — in the United States may be larger than previously reported, suggests a study funded by the National Institutes of Health.

New stem-cell-carrying hydrogel could help the heart recover from myocardial ischemia

Heart muscle becomes damaged and cardiac function is affected when blood vessels feeding the heart are blocked.

Study explains how the ‘first brain’ works in the gut

New research explains how the nervous system in the gut causes propulsion along the gut, highlighting similar behavior to other neural networks in the brain and spinal cord.

HKU research team sheds critical insight on what causes abnormal embryo elongation

Fetal abnormalities are of concern to all prospective parents, and many of these problems originate from abnormalities in the development of the embryo particularly during its elongation and division.

Insulin resistance could be due to changes in specific subtype of fat cells, study suggests

It is well known that fat cells can influence our sensitivity to insulin. Now, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have discovered that there are three different subtypes of mature fat cells in white adipose tissue and that it is only one of these, called AdipoPLIN, that responds to insulin.
