Stem cell science unlocks more mysteries of the menstrual cycle
Amid all the advances in modern medicine, much of the science behind a woman's menstrual cycle remains mysterious, so a team at Hudson Institute of Medical Research is aiming to change that. Professor Caroline Gargett is an expert in the human endometrium, the highly regenerative
Chimeric RNA unique to women could influence health and wellness
Strange "chimeric" RNA once thought to be the product of cancer is actually an important controller of women's health, including influencing their susceptibility to infectious disease and autoimmune disorders, new University of Virginia School of Medicine research suggests.
Ménière's disease may begin early in inner ear development
By analyzing genetic data from nearly 2 million people, researchers have unlocked a new scientific understanding of Ménière's disease, a chronic and often debilitating inner ear disorder. A team from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found evidence
Blocking IL1RAP may weaken pancreatic cancer defenses before surgery
Blocking IL1RAP, a receptor that sits at a key control point in inflammatory signaling, can disrupt the tumor-driven inflammatory network that helps pancreatic cancer resist treatment, according to new research. Led by researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of
Link between parents' and children's weight is mostly genetic, study finds
The association between parents' body mass index (BMI) and their children's childhood BMI may be primarily due to genetic inheritance rather than any direct biological effect of parental weight during pregnancy, according to a new study published in PLOS Medicine by Tom Bond of t
What one sleepless night does to brain connections and why sleep may reset them
A night without sleep produced increased markers of connections between brain cells, showing that sleep in humans may be important for restoring cellular balance in the brain, according to a study published in PLOS Biology by David Elmenhorst from the Forschungszentrum Jülich Ins
Psoriasis is linked to impairment of some sleep domains
Higher psoriasis (PsO) disease activity is independently associated with impairment in specific sleep domains, but not global sleep quality, according to a study published online May 29 in the Journal of Clinical Medicine.
Toward the responsible conduct of human fetal tissue research in Japan
Human fetal tissue research has contributed to advances in developmental biology, the study of congenital diseases, regenerative medicine and vaccine development. As it involves fetal tissue obtained following induced abortion, such research must be conducted with the utmost care
Parasitic worms may help scientists develop therapies for inflammatory conditions
A parasitic worm might be the impetus behind a new generation of medicine. In a recent review in published in Clinical & Translational Immunology, Neima Briggs, MD, Ph.D., instructor of medicine (infectious diseases) at Yale School of Medicine, found that certain types of parasit
Age limits alone won't fix smartphone risks, suggests study
Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), in collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, found that a year after receiving their first smartphone at age 13, teens at 14 who spent signi
Hidden mechanism driving joint tissue growth in rheumatoid arthritis has been found
Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) have identified a specialized population of immune cells that plays a central role in driving abnormal tissue growth in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), offering new insight into disease progression and potential treatment strategies. T
