Flinders research uncovers how enteric nervous system in the gut communicates with the brain

How the ‘second brain’ – the enteric nervous system in our gut – communicates with our first brain has been one of the most challenging questions faced by enteric neuroscientists, until now.

Deep-water cone snails produce a potentially painkilling compound, study reports

Scientists already know that the venom of cone snails, which prowl the ocean floor for a fish dinner, contains compounds that can be adapted as pharmaceuticals to treat chronic pain, diabetes and other human maladies.

Men with RED-S have lower testosterone levels, poor bone health and low resting metabolism

"RED-S syndrome is characterized by low energy availability. This happens when athletes eat too little compared with the energy they expend when exercising.

Investigators create specialized, tissue-like structures to model barrier tissues

Investigators at the Brigham and the Broad Institute have created specialized, tissue-like structures in the laboratory to model barrier tissues, such as the intestines, to identify new targets for treatment. Barrier tissues are exposed to substances from the outside world but serve as a layer of protection.

Powerful tool to monitor membrane proteins trafficking for drug discovery

Inside your body on the surface of cell membranes, a metaphorical communication and traffic network is underway as hormones - or chemical messengers - bind to cell membrane receptors to fine tune how the cell behaves.

Researchers discover a compound that reduces epileptic seizures

Researchers studying epileptic seizures of the temporal lobe – the most common type of epilepsy – discovered a compound that reduces seizures in the hippocampus, a brain region where many such seizures originate.

Combination therapy shows promising results in patients with recurrent ER-positive endometrial cancer

A combination therapy that targets cancer cells from within and without caused tumors to shrink or stabilize in 75% of patients with recurrent or persistent estrogen receptor- (ER-) positive endometrial cancer, results from a recent clinical trial show.

People with elevated blood pressure upon standing more likely to have risk for cardiovascular events

Among young and middle-aged adults with high blood pressure, a substantial rise in blood pressure upon standing may identify those with a higher risk of serious cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, according to new research published today in the American Heart Association's peer-reviewed journal Hypertension.

Moderate hyperglycemia associated with poor COVID-19 prognosis

Scientists have revealed that non-diabetic patients with moderate hyperglycemia are more likely to develop severe and fatal COVID-19 than diabetic patients.

Anti-Müllerian hormone plays an active role in polycystic ovary syndrome

High levels of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) have traditionally been thought of as merely a passive byproduct of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but a new preclinical study by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers suggests that the hormone plays an active role in the disorder and may contribute to problems with ovulation and fertility.
