Ancient Egyptian pigment inspires new bright brain imaging tool

For medical imaging, innovative contrast agents are in high demand. Materials scientist Robert Nissler has therefore developed an ultra-bright near-infrared nano-pigment designed to provide high-resolution images of intricate brain structures.

Researchers find simple way to boost engineered T-cell therapies

Researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a promising new strategy to make cancer-fighting immune cells stronger and potentially longer-lasting, a discovery that could help improve the effectiveness of immunotherapies that use a patient's own immune cells to attack cancer.

New mechanism helps cancer cells selectively produce proteins that drive tumor growth

A previously unknown mechanism helps cancer cells selectively produce proteins that drive tumor growth - such as KRAS - in common cancers, according to new research from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Researchers investigate if drug for leg cramps can prevent a second stroke

A second ischemic stroke, the most common stroke type, is associated with double the risk of death and triple the risk of long-term disability.

Circadian desynchronization: The hidden cost of daylight saving time transitions

Turning the clocks back an hour each fall can feel like a gift: an extra hour of sleep. But the tradeoff is less daylight in the evening, and the annual switch continues to earn mixed reviews.

Sleep expert shares tips for adjusting to daylight saving time

The switch to standard time from daylight saving time will take place at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1. That's right - the day after Halloween.

Achilles tendon injections offer no meaningful benefit over placebo

Commonly used injections for Achilles tendinopathy - pain, stiffness and swelling in the Achilles tendon - offer no meaningful clinical advantage over placebo (sham) treatment, finds a clinical trial published by The BMJ today.

Narrow surgical margins may safely remove childhood soft tissue sarcomas

It's a question that surgeons often face: How much surrounding healthy tissue should they take out when removing a patient's cancer to be sure it is fully eliminated? Removing more can sacrifice nearby nerves, blood vessels, tendons and even joints, with lasting effects on quality of life.

Researchers tested an unexpected addition to vaginal treatment: oxygen

Researchers investigated the effects of topical vaginal oxygen treatment, alone or combined with antimicrobials, on the vaginal microbiota of 22 women with bacterial vaginosis or vaginitis. The combined treatment reduced the relative abundance of strict anaerobes and increased Lactobacillus abundance, but the absence of an antimicrobial-only control group prevented researchers from establishing whether oxygen contributed independently to these changes.

Ketones may change sleep patterns, but not always for the better

Researchers reviewed animal and human studies and found that ketone bodies may affect sleep stages through energy metabolism and cellular signaling, with the clearest direct evidence involving acetoacetate in mice. They reported mixed human findings and called for controlled studies to separate ketone-specific effects from changes linked to diet, disease, circadian timing, and physiological stress.

UCSF scientists develop smart CAR-T cells to fight childhood brain tumors

Scientists at UC San Francisco have engineered CAR-T cells that stay dormant until they reach the brain, where they switch on and destroy tumor cells.

Dual-targeting antibody successfully tackles multiple tumor types in mice

A novel antibody therapy empowers the immune system's tumor-fighting capabilities in mice by targeting immune-suppressing T cells with greater precision than previous approaches, according to new work.

Mindfulness-based behavioral therapy changes brain responses to reduce opioid cravings

Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE), a behavioral therapy used alongside medication treatment, may help people with opioid use disorder respond differently to drug-related cues and natural rewards, according to a randomized clinical trial led by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

Prefrontal cortex activity fails to predict individual emotion regulation

A supervisor criticizes a report in front of the entire team – you feel exposed and hurt. But if you tell yourself, "She takes my work seriously and wants the project to succeed," the same situation can lose some of its intensity. In psychology, this deliberate reinterpretation is called cognitive reappraisal.
