Scientists demonstrate a new mechanism by which amino acids curb appetite

Proteins can suppress appetite, so a protein-rich diet can help people lose weight. That's just one of the reasons why this kind of diet has become increasingly popular in recent years.

Radioconjugates could transform the future of cancer care

Many current cancer treatments make patients very sick because even the most targeted treatments kill healthy cells as well as cancer cells. But a new type of treatment called a radioconjugate is getting the attention of oncologists.

Mediterranean-style diet could reduce preeclampsia risk by at least 20%

A new Johns Hopkins Medicine study that surveyed a racially diverse group of more than 8,000 women has added to evidence that following a Mediterranean-style diet could lower the risk of preeclampsia by at least 20%.

Inhaled nanoparticles can cross a protective barrier that protects fetuses, finds study

Inhaled nanoparticles – human-made specks so minuscule they can't be seen in conventional microscopes, found in thousands of common products – can cross a natural, protective barrier that normally protects fetuses, according to Rutgers University scientists studying factors that produce low-birth-weight babies.

New findings reveal the long-standing underrepresentation of women in cardiology leadership roles

In a trio of studies analyzing trends in cardiology research funding, clinical trials and leadership, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say some progress has been made in the gender gap that has long favored men, but inequalities persist and are likely linked to ongoing disparities in outcomes for women with heart disease.

WEB device found to be safe and effective in treating sidewall brain aneurysms

A novel mesh plug that has been traditionally used to treat brain aneurysms occurring where the blood vessels branch out was found to be equally effective in treating aneurysms on the side of the vessel, according to a study in the journal Radiology.

Scientists create a bioengineered 3D model that mimics the biology of two rare neuromuscular diseases

A scientific team supported by the National Institutes of Health has created a tiny, bioengineered 3-D model that mimics the biology of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and multifocal motor neuropathy, a pair of rare, devastating neuromuscular diseases.
