Researchers synthesize fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymeric nanoparticles to detect neurotransmitters

The animal brain consists of tens of billions of neurons or nerve cells that perform complex tasks like processing emotions, learning, and making judgments by communicating with each other via neurotransmitters.

New way to carry drugs across the blood-brain barrier using nanoparticles

Brain tumors are notoriously hard to treat. One reason is the challenge posed by the blood-brain barrier, a network of blood vessels and tissue with closely spaced cells.

Age-associated B cells found to be important drivers of lupus

A group of University of Pittsburgh researchers has given new meaning to "knowing your ABCs."

Multi-organ scRNA-seq reveals targeting pro- or anti-inflammatory regulators may be exploited for personalized treatment of immune diseases

Researchers performed multi-organ single-cell RNA sequencing of collagen-induced arthritis murine model to evaluate immune-mediated inflammatory disease alterations by characterizing the genome, organizing the organome, and prioritizing pathways in the multi-organ data.

Government funding to accelerate research in AI healthcare technologies

Tens of thousands of patients across the country could benefit from quicker, earlier diagnoses and more effective treatments for a range of conditions - as the government invests nearly £16 million into pioneering artificial intelligence research (AI).

Astrocytes exhibit stronger acid response with REM sleep in epileptic mice

Researchers at Tohoku University have shown that astrocytes - star-shaped glial cells that control the local ionic and metabotropic environment of the brain - exhibit an acid response with REM sleep in mice.

Wireless wearable sweat sensor patch imitates the 'spike signals' of sensory neurons

Human sweat contains chemical information including blood metabolites, ion concentrations, and nutrients. Monitoring this information using a wearable sensor can allow non-invasive (i.e. without blood sampling), real time health status tracking.

Shaved costs, high risk, maximum profits: Regulators worry about Florida’s butt lift boom

In hindsight, Nikki Ruston said, she should have recognized the red flags.

Adding evidence to the weight gain causality of sugary drinks

The review, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, is the most extensive analysis to date of research on sweetened drinks and overweight and obesity -; both of which heighten risks for diabetes, heart disease, some cancers, and other diseases.

Research identifies a possible treatment strategy for rare bone marrow failure syndrome

Bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside bone responsible for making red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Bone marrow failure syndromes lead to an increased risk of developing dangerous infections, anemia and an increased risk of blood cancers.

Immune activity differs for pregnant women based on anxiety status

The immune system of pregnant women with anxiety is biologically different from that of pregnant women without anxiety, according to new research from Weill Cornell Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Columbia University Irving Medical Center investigators.

Existing CT scans estimate hardened fatty plaque deposits in the heart's largest blood vessels

Instead of special heart scans, physicians can use images of the chest captured months earlier, and for other reasons, to estimate patients' risk of heart attack or death during several kinds of major surgeries, a new study shows.

Epigenetic changes in the regulation of key stress gene detected in kids with abusive injuries

Epigenetic changes in the regulation of a key gene in the body's stress response system were detected in babies and young children with abusive injuries, as opposed to accidental, according to a pilot study published in the journal Pediatric Research.

Resistance exercise improves sleep and inflammatory status in sarcopenic older patients

Sarcopenia is the decline of skeletal muscle mass with age, leading to loss of muscle strength (to move objects, shake hands etc.) and performance (walking and making other routine movements effectively). It involves chronic inflammation and is associated with cognitive alterations, heart disease and respiratory disorders.
