New deep learning AI model can help screen for retinopathy of prematurity in infants

The team developed a deep learning AI model that can identify which at-risk infants have ROP that may lead to blindness if left untreated, and they hope their technique could improve access to screening in the many areas with limited neonatal services and few trained ophthalmologists.

Climate change linked to changes in gut microbiota and aging process

Research paper explores the relationship between aging, gut microbiota, and climate change. It discusses how climate change can affect the composition of gut microbiota, which in turn can impact the aging process.

Ingestible capsule uses electricity to boost production of hunger-regulating hormone

Hormones released by the stomach, such as ghrelin, play a key role in stimulating appetite. These hormones are produced by endocrine cells that are part of the enteric nervous system, which controls hunger, nausea, and feelings of fullness.

Researchers discover a receptor and protein associated with Lou Gehrig's disease

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have discovered a receptor, sigma-1 receptor, and a protein, ATAD3A, that are associated with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

Researchers uncover the molecular basis for making long-term memories

Helping your mother make pancakes when you were three…riding your bike without training wheels…your first romantic kiss: How do we retain vivid memories of long-ago events? As described in a paper published online on April 25 in Neuron, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine have found the explanation.

Pain, hope, and science collide as athletes turn to magic mushrooms

The boxer felt broken. Every day, he was waking up in pain. Some days, it was debilitating headaches. Other times, it was his back. Or his fists. His ribs. His nose. On top of that, he had mood swings. Depression. Anxiety.

Research opens up the possibility of using muscle sympathetic nerve activity to quantify pain

Measuring stress activity directed to the blood vessels of muscles could allow researchers to measure pain objectively, according to a new study.

Researchers develop a backpack-based myeloid cell therapy for MS patients

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a devastating autoimmune disease that destroys the protective myelin covering around nerves, disrupting communication between the brain and body, and causing patients' ability to move and function to progressively decline.

How alcohol intake contributes to increased pain and hypersensitivity

Chronic alcohol consumption may make people more sensitive to pain through two different molecular mechanisms - one driven by alcohol intake and one by alcohol withdrawal.

Research reveals a more effective treatment for multiple sclerosis patients

Degeneration of myelin, an insulating sheath required for rapid communication between nerve cells, and neuroinflammation are notable hallmarks of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and related neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease or Huntington's disease that affect roughly 2.8 million people in the world.

An extra gene causes excessive inhibitory connections in the neocortex of Down syndrome mouse models

An extra copy of a gene that controls synapse formation in the cortex causes excessive inhibitory signaling and may contribute to Down syndrome, according to a new study publishing April 20th in the open access journal PLOS Biology by Bing Ye of the University of Michigan, US, and colleagues.

Surgery may be better option to relieve leg pain and disability in some people with sciatica

Surgery to relieve leg pain and disability in some people with sciatica may be better than other non-surgical treatments, but the benefits are short-lived, lasting only up to 12 months, finds an analysis of the latest evidence published by The BMJ today.
