Researchers discover a cause of neuron excitability in ALS, suggesting a new potential tre

Digging deep into the molecular mechanisms behind ALS, researchers at the Les Turner ALS Center at Northwestern Medicine have discovered why nerve cells overfire in the disease. Not only that—they have also designed a new drug to stop this overfiring, which could potentially slow

Experimental vaccine for 'neglected disease' carried by hundreds of millions of people sho

For a vaccine to be effective, it must do two things. First, it must trigger an immune response. Second, the vaccine must train the body to remember the response so it can fight that same disease in the future. Now, new research shows that the only vaccine being tested to prevent

Not all green space is equal: New framework highlights overlooked ecological factors in na

A new study led by Swansea University argues that the health benefits of nature-based health care may depend not only on access to green space, but also on the biodiversity and ecological quality of the environments involved.

Mussel-inspired vaccine aims to close the immunization gap with long-lasting immune protec

A research team in Korea has developed a vaccine technology that delivers long-lasting immune protection from a single dose by applying the powerful underwater adhesion mechanism of mussels. The work is drawing attention not only for reducing the burden of repeat vaccination, but

COVID-19 vaccine boosters may help protect against future animal coronaviruses, research s

COVID-19 vaccine boosters not only protect against SARS-CoV-2—the virus behind the most recent pandemic—but may also help protect against some future coronaviruses that risk spreading from animals to humans, Cambridge researchers have shown.

Many treatments help chronic back pain, but only in the short term

A large-scale analysis by an international research team, led by Bochum University of Applied Sciences, shows that nonsurgical treatments such as massage, exercise therapy or acupuncture for chronic back pain can alleviate symptoms—but usually only for a few weeks. Clinically sig

A simple message helps keep stem cell donors on track

When a patient needs a stem cell transplant, finding a registered donor is only the first step. Some potential donors drop out before confirmatory typing, reducing the pool from which doctors can choose. Researchers from Osaka University and collaborators tested whether a small c

Fatty liver drives a more dangerous form of colorectal cancer spread, study reveals

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven, with international partners, have uncovered how fatty liver disease can fuel the most aggressive form of metastatic colorectal cancer. The findings, which appear in the journal Nature, not only explain why some patients face dramatically poorer o

Almost half of dementia cases could be prevented—but change is needed

Nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented by tackling modifiable risk factors such as physical inactivity, smoking, low education or social isolation, but new Curtin University research suggests current public health approaches are falling short in driving real behavior ch
