Innate immunity and metabolic stress drive a unique form of cell death

In several disease conditions, including infections and cancers, innate immune activation and nutrient scarcity occur together.

Study reveals ATM kinase as the key driver of replicative senescence

After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres-the protective caps at the chromosome ends-those caps eventually become too short to prevent chromosome ends from being recognized as DNA breaks.

Tiny metal particles can kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed

An international research team led by RMIT University have created tiny particles, known as nanodots, made from a metallic compound that can kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells largely unharmed.

Fu's subcutaneous needling offers a safe non-pharmacological therapy for muscle-related pain

Chronic muscle tension is a common underlying factor in many pain disorders, causing reduced arterial blood flow, tissue hypoxia, and the release of inflammatory mediators.

Hematological and biochemical indicators show growing value in breast cancer management

Breast cancer remains a predominant global health challenge for women, with late-stage diagnosis being a key contributor to its high mortality.

Researchers uncover how a key transcription factor reads DNA in human cells

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells.

New study links inherited mitochondrial DNA mutation to disrupted immune balance

Scientists have discovered how a mitochondrial mutation rewires immune function in a model of inherited primary mitochondrial disorders, which often lead to severe disability and death.

Novel mRNA-based therapy may offer a new path to tackle antibiotic-resistant infections

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and collaborators have reported early success with a novel mRNA-based therapy designed to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Moderate coffee intake linked to slower biological aging in people with severe mental illness

Drinking a maximum of 3-4 cups of coffee a day may slow the 'biological' ageing of people with severe mental illness, by lengthening their telomeres-indicators of cellular ageing-and giving them the equivalent of 5 extra biological years, compared with non-coffee drinkers, finds research published in the open access journal BMJ Mental Health.

Not serious enough to turn on the siren, toddler’s 39-mile ambulance ride still cost over $9,000

Elisabeth Yoder's son, Darragh, was 15 months old in August when he developed what at first looked to his parents like hand, foot, and mouth disease.

New platform enables unbiased evaluation of AI algorithms for diabetic eye screening

Researchers have developed the world's first real-world head-to-head testing platform to determine whether commercial artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are fit for NHS use to detect disease in a fair, equitable, transparent and trustworthy way, using diabetic eye disease as the first example.

New study links untreated sleep apnea to higher Parkinson’s disease risk

New research reveals that people with untreated obstructive sleep apnea have a higher risk of developing Parkinson's disease. However, they can significantly reduce the risk by improving the quality of their sleep by using continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP.

Inflammatory biomarkers offer new insights for precision medicine in ischemic stroke

Ischemic stroke, a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide, is a complex cerebrovascular event with outcomes heavily influenced by the inflammatory response.

Scientists uncover molecular mechanism behind chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy

Chemotherapy activates a stress sensor in immune cells, triggering inflammation and nerve damage, which may help explain why many cancer patients experience debilitating pain as a side effect, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine and Wake Forest University School of Medicine researchers

New patch may help heal the heart after a heart attack

A new patch developed by Texas A&M University researcher Dr. Ke Huang may offer a way to help the heart heal after a heart attack.

Expert panel recommends new antibiotic strategies for resistant Bordetella pertussis

Pertussis, or whooping cough, remains a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by Bordetella pertussis. Despite inclusion of pertussis vaccines in immunization programs since the 1970s, outbreaks have re-emerged globally due to waning immunity and bacterial evolution.
