Family of drugs used for treating muscular dystrophy could improve brain tumor treatment
A drug from the same family licensed for use in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and blood cancer could transform the treatment of meningioma—the most common form of primary brain tumor in adults. Scientists at the Brain Tumor Research Center of Excellence at the Univers
AI analyses of eye scans can detect diseases like diabetes, osteoporosis and thyroid disea
A new study presents an artificial intelligence system that scans images of the retina to detect signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, gout, osteoporosis and thyroid disease in seconds. The program—called Reti-Pioneer—is a step toward being able to diagnose ma
Antibiotics reverse damage caused to blood stem cells by chronic Salmonella, study suggest
A new study from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) has revealed that long-term Salmonella infections severely damage blood stem cells—the essential factory cells in bone marrow that produce all the body's blood and immune cells. However, the research, published in Cell Rep

Elucidating a decades-old mystery of blood clotting
Why is it rare for dangerous blood clots to form in our blood? What happens if this safety mechanism fails? An international team of researchers involving the University of Greifswald has taken a major step toward finding the answer to this central medical question. The results w
A blood protein can flag dementia risk decades before symptoms appear
Forgetting the name of a loved one may be one of the first signs people notice of dementia, but it's rarely the first warning sign your brain gives. Changes in the brain that lead to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia start showing up decades before symptoms
Repurposed epilepsy drug could be used to boost vaccine protection among elderly
A drug commonly used to treat epilepsy could be repurposed to significantly boost the response to vaccines in humans, helping protect those for whom the vaccine is less effective, such as older adults or immunocompromised people. A Cambridge-led team showed that the drug more tha
Blood biomarkers could measure response to psychotherapy in patients with depression
Research by the Barcelona Institute for Biomedical Research (IIBB), part of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), and the Institut de Recerca Sant Pau (IR Sant Pau) provides some of the first evidence that psychological therapies act as biological stimuli that induce mole
