A natural compound steps into the estrogen arena

Uterine fibroids and endometriosis are two of the most common gynecologic diseases, affecting 15% to 80% of women of childbearing age. Existing treatments—hormonal drugs and selective estrogen receptor modulators—have side effects and cannot reliably prevent recurrence. This is w

Raman imaging applied to cardiac tissue of Fabry disease model reveals molecular map of li

How are disease-relevant molecules distributed within tissue? What changes occur even before they become visible under the microscope? Questions such as these are crucial for early diagnosis and targeted treatment in many diseases. Researchers at the Leibniz-Institut für Analytis

Combination treatment harnesses cellular recycling system to fight multiple myeloma

New research from VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center provides evidence for a combination treatment strategy that uses cells' waste-removal functions to target multiple myeloma. The findings, published recently in Cell Death & Disease, show how an experimental targeted protein

Mediterranean diet compounds may aid nerve cells as brains age, review finds

Natural plant compounds known as polyphenols, found in berries, tea, cocoa, coffee and extra-virgin olive oil, may positively influence biological processes linked to Alzheimer's disease and other disorders characterized by the gradual loss of nerve cells, according to a review b

Amyloid-clearing treatment may curb tau buildup for years in Alzheimer's brain

An analysis of the brain of a deceased Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical trial participant found that regions where an anti-amyloid therapy successfully cleared amyloid plaques showed little to no evidence of tau tangles, a hallmark of AD closely linked to neurodegeneration and c

Mediterranean diet paradox reveals shifting nutrition trends

Despite decades of scientific evidence linking the Mediterranean diet to lower rates of heart disease, diabetes, obesity and other chronic illnesses, the eating pattern is steadily disappearing in the very countries where it originated. Nutritional choices among populations in co

Doctor who studies sudden death weighs in on Lindsey Graham's passing

Medical examiners are preliminarily attributing the death of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, of South Carolina, to an aortic dissection caused by "arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease," a broad term referring to the hardening and narrowing of the arteries.

An experimental Alzheimer's drug shows promise targeting a different brain protein, new st

An experimental drug might help slow early Alzheimer's disease in a markedly different way than today's treatments—by lowering levels of a brain protein called tau, researchers reported Tuesday.

How an emerging class of tick-borne viruses escape human immune defenses

Warmer temperatures bring out ticks that spread diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. But another class of emerging tick-borne pathogens—nairoviruses—is on the rise. Some nairoviruses cause high fevers and reduce organ function in people exposed to certa

Herpes immune response linked to Alzheimer's disease

New research has demonstrated a mechanistic link between the immune response to herpesviruses—the family of viruses related to cold sores, childhood infections and mononucleosis—and an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. A team of scientists from Cardiff University's School of

Immune response to otherwise harmless yeast becomes a problem in Crohn's disease

Almost everyone carries Candida albicans. The yeast colonizes human mucous membranes—for example, the oral mucosa and the intestine—usually silently, without causing any problems. The immune system learns early on how to deal with it. It develops specialized immune cells known as

Two-isotope imaging could guide targeted alpha therapy for metastatic prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men worldwide. However, planning personalized radiotherapy in the advanced stages of the disease still requires more precise tools. Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have now tested a novel a
