Experiments and mathematical modeling help study the role of morphogens in tissue patterning

Morphogens are molecules that travel from biological cell to cell to pattern tissues in the embryo. These molecules are important not only for the embryo during development, but also for the adult during tissue repair.

Novel algorithm provides rich, detailed information on protein location and function within a cell

Humans are good at looking at images and finding patterns or making comparisons. Look at a collection of dog photos, for example, and you can sort them by color, by ear size, by face shape, and so on. But could you compare them quantitatively? And perhaps more intriguingly, could a machine extract meaningful information from images that humans can't?

The COVID-19 pandemic led to sustained decreases in smoking

Being a smoker makes it more likely for a person to have severe COVID-19 symptoms, require hospitalization or die, which may explain a sharp decrease in smoking behavior among the Danish population during the pandemic, according to new research.

Recommendations for a voluntary Long COVID Registry could support service improvements

Recommendations for a voluntary Long COVID patient registry or similar mechanism to monitor the condition in Wales over the long-term offer could support service improvement and offer insight for other future patient registries and health policy decisions, according to the authors of a paper published today by the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine.

Early initiation of physical therapy for patients with lower back pain linked with less health care resource utilization

Early initiation of physical therapy (PT) for U.S. patients with acute lower back pain (LBP) was associated with less health care resource use in the first month and the first year after the initial onset of symptoms, according to a new study by Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Research could pave the way for therapeutic strategies targeting DCIR to treat colorectal tumors

Colorectal tumors are a common adverse effect of chronic inflammation of the intestine. In a new study, researchers from Japan and China demonstrate that mice models with dendritic cell immunoreceptor (DCIR) protein deficiency are resistant to colonic tumors induced by dextran sodium sulfate and azoxymethane.
