Researchers unveil digital 'alcohol twin' to predict drinking risks and guide personalized interventions

Digital twin model simulates real-life alcohol consumption patterns and links them to long-term biomarkers, aiding eHealth strategies to curb dangerous drinking habits. The model captures complex physiological interactions between food, beverages, and alcohol metabolism.

9 May 2024

Study uncovers alcohol's damaging effects on brain cells through oxidative stress

Alcohol exposure leads to accumulation of oxidatively damaged proteins in neuronal cells. Differentiated cells are more susceptible to alcohol-induced oxidative protein damage despite higher resistance to cytotoxicity.

Study examines association between neighborhood disadvantage and DNA methylation in brain tissue

A new research paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 16, Issue 8, entitled, "The association between neighborhood deprivation and DNA methylation in an autopsy cohort."

9 May 2024

Mouse-rat chimeras offer functional liver cells for transplantation

Liver disease, due to viral infections, alcohol abuse, obesity, or cancer, accounts for 1 in every 25 deaths worldwide.

Enhancing the ability of natural killer cells to combat hematologic malignancies

A new study reveals a groundbreaking approach to immunotherapy, demonstrating that blocking the interaction between the CD300A receptor and phosphatidylserine (PS) significantly enhances the ability of human natural killer (NK) cells to lyse hematologic malignancies (HMs).

9 May 2024

Understanding aging through stochastic changes in cells

Aging clocks can measure the biological age of humans with high precision. Biological age can be influenced by environmental factors such as smoking or diet, thus deviating from the chronological age that is calculated using the date of birth.
