Dietary supplement can reverse the signs of heart disease in a subset of patients

When we were little, our parents told us to take our vitamins so we could grow big and strong. Now, researchers from Japan find that one particular supplement may even fix a broken heart.

Human cortical organoids implanted in mice establish functional connectivity and respond to sensory stimuli

A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and responded to external sensory stimuli.

Breached dolphin's brains show neuropathology similar to Alzheimer's

In a new European Journal of Neuroscience study, scientists studied the brains of Odontocetes (Toothed whales) to document the presence or absence of neuropathological hallmarks of AD.

DISCO-MS technology enables the study of diseases at their earliest stages

How can you trace a single diseased cell in an intact brain or a human heart? The search resembles looking for a needle in a haystack.

Cystic fibrosis drug shows promise to treat pneumonia

Pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 and pneumococcus can cause severe pneumonia. If the airways then fill with fluid, the patient risks developing acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Study provides insights into the coordinated dance of nerve and vascular cells

Nerve cells need a lot of energy and oxygen. They receive both through the blood. This is why nerve tissue is usually crisscrossed by a large number of blood vessels.

Drinking two or more cups of coffee a day linked to cardiovascular disease mortality among people with severe hypertension

Drinking two or more cups of coffee a day may double the risk of death from cardiovascular disease among people with severe high blood pressure (160/100 mm Hg or higher) but not people with high blood pressure not considered severe, according to research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.

New robotic bronchoscopy may be safer and more effective way to perform lung nodule biopsies

Lung nodule biopsies performed with new robotic bronchoscopy technology may be safer and more effective than those done by traditional methods, a study by researchers at UT Southwestern suggests.

Research uncovers a new way to boost the effectiveness of RNA therapies

Investigators from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai have identified how biological pacemaker cells - cells that control your heartbeat - can "fight back" against therapies to biologically correct abnormal heartbeat rates.

'Stem cell plasters' could revolutionize treatment for children with congenital heart disease

Researchers at the University of Bristol funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) have developed 'stem cell plasters' to revolutionize the way surgeons treat children living with congenital heart disease, so they don't need as many open-heart operations.
