Study: Using mobile app to self-assess back pain just as effective as paper methods

Patients can assess their own back pain using an app on their phone or tablet as effectively as current paper methods, a new study from the University of Warwick has shown.

Study reveals why women have poorer health than men in older age

Genes that act late in life could explain why women have poorer health than men in older age, according to new research.

Healthy lifestyle may offset acceleration of atherosclerosis during menopause

A healthy lifestyle during the transition to menopause may offset the acceleration of atherosclerosis, the slow narrowing of the arteries that increases with age, according to new research in the Journal of the American Heart Association, the Open Access Journal of the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.

Antibiotics can effectively target and eliminate senescent cells

ANTIBIOTICS have emerged as potentially lifespan-enhancing drugs, according to the results of new research carried out in the UK.

Researchers regrow hair strands on damaged skin

By stirring crosstalk among skin cells that form the roots of hair, researchers report they have regrown hair strands on damaged skin. The findings better explain why hair does not normally grow on wounded skin, and may help in the search for better drugs to restore hair growth, say the study's authors.

Mailing at-home HPV tests may be viable approach for screening hard-to-reach women

Screening women for HPV, or human papillomavirus, is a promising way to help detect cervical cancer early, but many at-risk women go without screening for the virus and without Pap tests that look for abnormal cells on the cervix.

UNLV researchers suggest new way to classify negative symptoms of schizophrenia

The onset of schizophrenia in young adults can put an immediate halt to life goals, with one set of symptoms being particularly debilitating.

Scientists use hair-thin fiber endoscope to gain insights into hardly-accessible brain structures

It is the first time, scientists are able to achieve high-resolution observations of neuronal structures inside deep brain areas of living mice - by the use of the most minimally invasive endoscopic probe reported thus far.

UT Southwestern researchers discover enzyme that promotes tumor growth

UT Southwestern researchers have found that an enzyme on the surface of some lung cancer cells helps feed the cancer, making it a tempting treatment target.

Researchers reveal previously unknown genetic effect that can raise or reduce risk of heart disease

Atherosclerotic disease, the slow and silent hardening and narrowing of the arteries, is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, responsible for more than 15 million deaths each year, including an estimated 610,000 people in the United States.

Scientists visualize action of immune cells in response to cancer cell proliferation

As tumors develop, they evolve genetically. How does the immune system act when faced with tumor cells? How does it exert pressure on the genetic diversity of cancer cells? Scientists from the Institut Pasteur and Inserm used in vivo video techniques and cell-specific staining to visualize the action of immune cells in response to the proliferation of cancer cells.

Scientists restore breathing, forelimb function in animal models of chronic spinal cord injury

Millions of people worldwide are living with chronic spinal cord injuries, with 250,000 to 500,000 new cases each year--most from vehicle crashes or falls.

Veterans who suffered multiple traumatic brain injuries are at greater risk for suicide

A new Veterans Affairs study finds that post-9-11 veterans with a history of repeated traumatic brain injuries--versus none--are at much greater risk for considering suicide.
