Food for thought: ventral visual pathway has neural populations that respond very selectively to images of food

In this study, a complete set of human cortical specializations was required that actually reflected the functional organization of the cortex.

The prevalence and risk factors for delirium in older patients hospitalized with COVID-19

A recent study explored what determined the risk of delirium in older patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and the outcomes of this hospitalization.

Scientists uncover how a build-up of harmful protein starts to happen in Parkinson's disease

Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute, UCL and the University of Edinburgh have uncovered how a build-up of harmful protein starts to happen within neurons in Parkinson's disease, ultimately causing nerve cell death.

Moffitt study uses computer modeling to demonstrate the impact of skin homeostasis on driver and passenger mutations

All normal human tissues acquire mutations over time. Some of these mutations may be driver mutations that promote the development of cancer through increased proliferation and survival, while other mutations may be neutral passenger mutations that have no impact on cancer development.

Pregnant women exposed to chemicals that can increase cancer risk and harm child development

Pregnant women in the U.S. are being exposed to chemicals like melamine, cyanuric acid, and aromatic amines that can increase the risk of cancer and harm child development, according to researchers at UC San Francisco and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Chapman University biologist studies how our bodies and behaviors change during sickness

Surrounded by coworkers who are sniffling and sneezing? You may not be able to ask for sick leave preemptively, but your body is already bracing for battle, says Patricia C. Lopes, assistant professor of biological sciences at Chapman University's Schmid College of Science and Technology.

Research provides a major step forward to growing human kidney in a dish

Kidney disease affects one in nine adults globally and the incidence of kidney failure is steadily rising around the world.

State-level economic policy associated with reduction in HIV risk behavior among single mothers

UCLA research finds that a refundable State-level Earned Income Tax Credit (SEITC) of 10% or above the Federal EITC was associated with a 21% relative risk reduction in reported behavior that could put single mothers at high risk for becoming infected with HIV during the previous year.

Study uncovers molecular changes in the brain’s blood vessels caused by Alzheimer’s susceptibility gene

Recent breakthroughs have revealed a great deal about Alzheimer's disease, but researchers have yet to paint a complete picture of how genetic risk for the illness causes the brain damage that ultimately leads to memory loss and cognitive decline.

Research shows how sensor-based health monitoring could help tackle age-related health problems

Specific changes in our movement patterns can be indicators of several health problems: For instance, decrease in strength often correlates with risk of falls, mild cognitive impairment, depression, sleep problems, respiratory problems, cardiac arrhythmias and increasing myocardial weakness or worsening of a COVID-19 infection.

Italian study finds SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples collected before December 2019

Researchers discuss the association of SARS-CoV-2 with morbilliform skin rash and confirms viral circulation in September 2019.

Immune cells beyond CAR-T cells affect the durability of response to BCMA CAR T therapy in myeloma

Patients with myeloma whose tumor immune microenvironments had a more diverse baseline T-cell repertoire, fewer markers of immune cell exhaustion, and distinct changes to immune cell populations were more likely to have longer progression-free survival (PFS) after treatment with BCMA-targeted T-cell therapy.

Does Langya virus pose a spillover threat?

Researchers assess the potential impact of the Langya virus, its current risk, and what measures might help to contain this virus.

Brain activity patterns during sleep shed light on the neurobiology behind 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome

The brain activity patterns during sleep shed light on the neurobiology behind a genetic condition called 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22q11.2DS) and could be used as a biomarker to detect the onset of neuropsychiatric disorders in people with 22q11.2DS.
