A groundbreaking study by researchers at Florida State University’s Gut Biome Lab has revealed a potential link between an infection caused by gut bacteria and the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
A new study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that makers and marketers of prescription opioid painkillers misused scientific evidence to advance five common and inaccurate claims about the safety and effectiveness of prescription opioids—including that they were not addictive.
Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center demonstrated that anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy in combination with mutation-directed targeted therapy extended overall survival (OS) in patients with anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC).
An experimental therapeutic monoclonal antibody therapy could become the first to directly enhance tissue repair in the heart following a heart attack.
A new Scientific Statement released today by the Endocrine Society highlights research gaps associated with the negative effects of opioid use on the endocrine system.
Researchers have developed a bioelectronic device that taps into the natural electrical activity of certain bacteria found on our skin, paving the way for a drug-free approach to managing infections. The advancement reduces the harmful effects of a bacterium known for antibiotic resistance.
The 2022 Panjiayuan Consensus Conference, held by the National Cancer Center/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, has introduced pivotal advancements in prostate targeted biopsy (TB) strategies and development, marking a significant leap forward in the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer (PCa).
Lithium-sulfur batteries have never lived up to their potential as the next generation of renewable batteries for electric vehicles and other devices. But SMU mechanical engineer Donghai Wang and his research team have found a way to make these Li-S batteries last longer – with higher energy levels – than existing renewable batteries. The research team has been able to prevent Li-S batteries from producing an unwanted side effect known as polysulfide dissolution that appears over time, shortening their lifespan.
New study in JNCCN-Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network that finds that people diagnosed with an aggressive breast cancer subtype (HR-negative, HER2-positive) are more likely to live longer in states that participate in Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
A vigorous workout does more to suppress hunger levels in healthy adults than does moderate exercise, and females may be especially susceptible to this response, according to a small study published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society.
