Oxytocin promotes avoidance of unfamiliar situations after negative social interactions

Before you shop for the "cuddle" hormone oxytocin to relieve stress and enhance your social life, read this: a new study from the University of California, Davis, suggests that sometimes, blocking the action of oxytocin in the brain may be a better option.

University Of Minnesota scientists describe breakthrough in research related to FSHD

A new study published in the journal Nature Communications describes a breakthrough in research related to facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). The debilitating genetic disease - which has no approved treatment - affects an estimated 38,000 Americans and causes degeneration and wasting of the skeletal muscles.

Researchers overcome major stumbling blocks in developing HIV vaccine

An international team of researchers has demonstrated a way of overcoming one of the major stumbling blocks that has prevented the development of a vaccine against HIV: the ability to generate immune cells that stay in circulation long enough to respond to and stop virus infection.

Researchers investigate link between thyroid hormone and red blood cell production

For more than a century, physicians have anecdotally noted that patients with an underactive thyroid-;often caused by iodine deficiency-;tended to also have anemia. But the link between thyroid hormone and red blood cell production has remained elusive.

Targeting bone marrow protein could be effective way to improve stem cell transplants

Bone marrow contains hematopoetic stem cells, the precursors to every blood cell type. These cells spring into action following bone marrow transplants, bone marrow injury and during systemic infection, creating new blood cells, including immune cells, in a process known as hematopoiesis.

Discovery sheds new light on biological phenomenon in autoimmune disease

A newly-unveiled discovery, which has been four years in the making, has the potential to change the way we look at autoimmune diseases and understand how and why immune cells begin to attack different tissues in the body.

Researchers transform skin puncture cells from diabetes patients into insulin

Norwegian researches are one step closer to cure diabetes by making insulin-producing cells from skin cells.

Bioactive 'tissue papers' show potential for regenerative medicine

Northwestern Medicine scientists and engineers have invented a range of bioactive "tissue papers" made of materials derived from organs that are thin and flexible enough to even fold into an origami bird.

Anti-allergy medicines may be effective treatment for deadly blood clots in the legs

Common anti-allergy medicines could prove to be an effective treatment for potentially fatal blood clots in the legs, according to new research by the University of Birmingham.

TUM scientists provide new insights into development of T cells

When T cells encounter an antigen, they proliferate and produce various types of daughter cells. A team at the Technical University of Munich has now refuted the prevailing hypothesis that this immune response is largely predetermined by the individual structure of the T cell receptor.

Researchers streamline beta cell differentiation process to develop safer cell therapy for diabetes

More than 36 million people globally are affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D), a lifelong disorder where insulin producing cells are attacked and destroyed by the immune system resulting in deficient insulin production that requires daily blood glucose monitoring and administration of insulin.
