Understanding how the body regulates circadian rhythms using mathematical models

Researchers are using mathematical models to better understand the effects of disruptions like daylight savings time, working night shifts, jet lag or even late-night phone scrolling on the body's circadian rhythms.

Medications for chronic diseases can impair thermoregulation, especially in hot weather

Medications to treat various chronic diseases may hinder the body’s ability to lose heat and regulate its core temperature to optimal levels.

Study opens the door to new treatments for bone regeneration and osteoporosis

A new study of the PhyloBone project of the University of Turku, Finland, identifies hundreds of non-collagenous proteins in the bone matrix that may play regulatory roles in bone formation and regeneration.

Study reveals the roles of a nucleic acid sensor for COVID-19 in pan-cancer

Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7), a severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus's nucleic acid sensor, was discovered to be aberrantly expressed in many types of cancers.

Astrocytes play major role in controlling sleep need

New animal research suggests that little-studied brain cells known as astrocytes are major players in controlling sleep need and may someday help humans go without sleep for longer without negative consequences such as mental fatigue and impaired physical health.

Anxious people use different part of brain for social behavior

When choosing their behavior in socially difficult situations, anxious people use a less suitable section of the forebrain than people who are not anxious.

Obesity impairs brain's ability to learn associations

To control our behavior, the brain must be able to form associations. This involves, for example, associating a neutral external stimulus with a consequence following the stimulus (e.g., the hotplate glows red - you can burn your hand).

Study provides insight into aging of the brain

Most of us who've reached middle age have noticed a slowing in memory and cognition, but scientists don't have a clear picture of the molecular changes that take place in the brain to cause it.

Klotho levels and telomere length may be associated through a coordinated downregulation of longevity factors

A new research paper was published by Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) in Volume 15, Issue 15, entitled, "Associations between klotho and telomere biology in high stress caregivers."

Study finds how low levels of the TET2 gene fuel rapid growth of acute myeloid leukemia

Scientists at City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, have identified how low levels of the TET2 gene fuel the rapid growth of acute myeloid leukemia in animal models.

Deep learning-based AI model can estimate age from chest radiographs of healthy individuals

What if "looking your age" refers not to your face, but to your chest? Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model that utilizes chest radiographs to accurately estimate a patient's chronological age.

Gut microbiome variation linked to race and ethnicity arises after 3 months of age

Gut microbiome variation associated with race and ethnicity arises after three months of age and persists through childhood, according to a new study published August 17th in the open access journal PLOS Biology by Elizabeth K. Mallott of Washington University in St. Louis, US, Seth Bordenstein of Pennsylvania State University, US, and colleagues.
