The body's immune system performs essential functions, such as defending against bacteria and cancer cells. However, the human brain is separated from immune cells in the bloodstream by the so-called blood-brain barrier. This barrier protects the brain from pathogens and toxins circulating in the blood, while also dividing the immune…
In a preclinical study in mice and human cells, researchers report that selectively removing old or 'senescent' cells from joints could stop and even reverse the progression of osteoarthritis.
Scientists have found that unstable chromosomes within lung tumours increases the risk of cancer returning after surgery, and have used this new knowledge to detect relapse long before standard testing.
A highly sensitive method that can detect even the earlier stages of colorectal cancer has been developed by researchers in Japan.
Among the more than 60,000 US children who develop autism spectrum disorders (ASD) every year, 20,000 become nonverbal or lose the ability to speak. The numbers are similar in Europe and this nonverbal group will have to rely on assisted living for the rest of their life.
The collaboration focuses on the delivery of an educational programme consisting of a suite of flexible Master’s level professional courses including short ones and a full Master’s programme.
Traditional toxicological investigations performed on animals (in vivo) are expensive, time-consuming and may cause animal suffering.
Pfizer has launched the Antimicrobial Testing Leadership and Surveillance (ATLAS) website, which is designed to provide physicians and the global health community with easy access to critical data on the efficacy of various antibiotic treatments and emerging resistance patterns across more than 60 countries.
Microdermics has completed its $1 million financing round, which was oversubscribed and received robust global interest.
Kidney cancer rates have increased by 40% over the last 10 years in the UK, and the rise is expected to continue. An estimated 20,000 kidney cancer cases have been caused by obesity over the last decade in England, according to new figures from Cancer Research UK.
The gene MAFK is known to be induced by the TGF-β signalling pathway, which is involved in breast cancer development. Scientists reported that the MAFK protein, in turn, induced cancerous behaviours in cells by switching on the breast cancer-associated gene GPNMB. MAFK thus represents a link between TGF-β signalling and…
The market of preventive digital health services is estimated to be worth several billion euros in the near future.
Researchers have uncovered molecular details of how pathogenic bacteria fight back against the human immune response to infection.
Over 10 million units of platelets are transfused worldwide each year in one of the most common procedures in clinical medicine. However, platelets derived from human donors can transmit infections and trigger serious immune reactions that eventually render the therapy ineffective (a condition known as alloimmune refractoriness). In addition, since…
