Single drop of blood can be used to measure thousands of molecules

Researchers at Stanford Medicine have shown they can measure thousands of molecules — some of which are signals of health — from a single drop of blood.

Cryo-electron microscopy reveals detailed blueprint of viral genome replication machinery

RNA viruses, such as the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, are in a life-and-death race the moment they infect a cell.

Targeting newly discovered signaling pathway could boost the potency of cancer therapeutics

Cells zealously protect the integrity of their genomes, because damage can lead to cancer or cell death. The genome - a cell's complete set of DNA - is most vulnerable while it is being duplicated before a cell divides. Cancer cells constantly are dividing, so their genomes are constantly in jeopardy.

Novel microneedle patch can immediately stop bleeding after traumatic injury

A soldier suffers a serious gunshot wound on a remote battlefield or a machinist has a work accident and gets stuck in traffic on the way to the hospital. Secondary, uncontrolled bleeding from traumatic injury is the leading cause of death of Americans from ages one to 46.

New pop-up electrode device could gather more in-depth information about the brain

Understanding the neural interface within the brain is critical to understanding aging, learning, disease progression and more.

Understanding endemic and novel zoonotic spillovers from rodent trapping studies

The global impact of novel zoonotic pathogen spillovers has been highlighted through the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the rapid outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. In the past, similar effects were recorded during the HIV/AIDs and Spanish Influenza pandemics.

Missed nursing care linked to higher odds of adverse outcomes for very low birthweight infants

Sometimes hospital staff nurses cannot provide required care due to time constraints. This reality can contribute to potentially dire outcomes for very low birthweight (VLBW) infants, who weigh less than 3.3 lbs. at birth.

Unfavorable healthcare experiences may increase the likelihood of caregivers to self-medicate

Caregivers need care, too. And now, researchers from Japan have found that their experience with healthcare professionals while caring for someone else affects their own healthcare choices.

Neurons in a bow-shaped brain region become hyperactive after chronic stress exposure

It's clear that chronic stress can impact our behavior, leading to problems like depression, reduced interest in things that previously brought us pleasure, even PTSD.

Study finds link between physical activity levels and susceptibility to upper respiratory tract infections in children

Higher levels of daily physical activity are associated with reduced susceptibility to upper respiratory tract infections such as the common cold, suggests a study of 104 Polish children published in Pediatric Research.

Study explores how different clusters of cardiometabolic conditions increase dementia risk in older adults

People in the United States and England who have multiple cardiometabolic conditions such as diabetes and high systolic blood pressure are more likely to develop dementia than their peers who are relatively healthy, according to new research from the University of Surrey.

"Breathe Sweden" platform enhances collaborations in asthma, allergy, and respiratory research

"Breathe Sweden", a digital platform for researchers who collect studies on diseases and disorders of the respiratory tract, has now been launched.

New biosensor chip may increase accessibility to high-quality diagnostics

DNA can signal the presence of or predisposition to a slew of diseases, including cancer. The ability to flag down these clues, known as biomarkers, allows medical professionals to make critical early diagnoses and provide personalized treatments.

Study reveals sex differences in response to drugs targeting tauopathies

Microglia are cells that are central to both brain health as well as disease progression in many neurological conditions.

Vanderbilt recruiting individuals for research on early drivers of Alzheimer's disease

The Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer's Center is recruiting individuals age 50 and older to participate in a study researching early drivers of Alzheimer's disease.

Chemotherapy schedule affects treatment outcomes in female DLBCL patients

Chemotherapy is a commonly used regimen for cancer treatment, but it is also a double-edged sword. While the drugs are highly effective at killing cancer cells, they are also notorious for killing healthy cells in the body.

Study shows spatial organization in tumor cells

Researchers investigated whether the observed tumor cellular heterogeneity and architecture result from stochastic and chaotic events, or whether there is more coordination in the histopathological chaos of cancer.

Cerebrospinal fluid leak may be a treatable cause of behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia

A new Cedars-Sinai study suggests that some patients diagnosed with behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) - an incurable condition that robs patients of the ability to control their behavior and cope with daily living - may instead have a cerebrospinal fluid leak, which is often treatable.

Study: 12-hour gene expression rhythms are missing or altered in schizophrenic brains

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, U.S. present the first evidence of 12-hour cycles of gene activity in the human brain. Publishing in the open access journal PLOS Biology on January 24th, the study led by Madeline R. Scott also reveals that some of those 12-hour rhythms are missing or altered in the postmortem brains of patients with schizophrenia.

Study provides an estimate of people in the United States with VEXAS syndrome

About 13,200 men and another 2,300 women in the United States over age 50 are estimated to have VEXAS syndrome, according to a new study led by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
