Study shows link between regulatory T cells and anxiety, depression, Alzheimer's disease

Regulatory T cells - work horses of the body's immune system - may also stabilize mood, according to a study. Forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) is a transcription factor that controls the production of regulatory T cells (Tregs).

AI-powered protein score predicts major atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events

In a large retrospective analysis using measurements of thousands of plasma proteins in primary and secondary event populations, scientists from deCODE genetics a subsidiary of Amgen and collaborators from USA, Denmark and Iceland, reported today in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) how they employed AI to develop a protein score to predict major atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events (ASCVD).
