Recent research in Scientific Reports reveals a dose-response relationship between dietary niacin intake and reduced prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), suggesting niacin's potential role in mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation in COPD patients.

CD4+ T cells have been highlighted in the scientific literature for the important role they play in the immune response to lung infections.

A new King's College London scanning study of 390 babies has shown distinct patterns between term and pre-term babies in the moment-to-moment activity and connectivity of brain networks.

A new pharmacological inhibitor can intervene in a central cell death mechanism that is responsible for the death of motor neurons and hence important for the progression of the motor neuron disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

A new research paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 16, Issue 2, entitled, "PROX1 interaction with α-SMA-rich cancer-associated fibroblasts facilitates colorectal cancer progression and correlates with poor clinical outcomes and therapeutic resistance."

A new research perspective was published in Oncotarget's Volume 15 on February 5, 2024, entitled, "Preclinical and clinical evaluation of the Janus Kinase inhibitor ruxolitinib in multiple myeloma."

If you're pregnant, you may want to think twice before making a hamburger run or reaching for a prepackaged pastry, according to research published last month in the journal Environmental International.

Mount Sinai researchers have shown for the first time that immune cells called monocytes, derived in the bone marrow and released into the bloodstream, can be drawn during stress into sites in the brain that control emotional behaviors.

Immunotherapies using engineered T cells have ushered in a new era in cancer treatment, but they have their limits. They may cause side effects or stop working, and they do not work at all against 90% of cancers.

Our sense of direction is essential to our ability to navigate the world around us. It acts as the brain's internal compass to help us find our way and, just as importantly, to prompt us to change course when we're heading in the wrong direction.

Positioning patients with large vessel ischemic (clot-caused) stroke with their heads flat (0-degrees) before surgery to remove the blood clot resulted in significant improvements in neurological function, compared to patients whose heads were elevated (at a 30-degree angle), according to preliminary late-breaking science presented today at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2024.

Researchers in a Johns Hopkins Children's Center-led study that used genetic material from human blood and lab-grown brain cells say they have made progress in developing a blood test to identify disease-associated changes in the brain specifically linked to postpartum depression and other psychiatric and neurological disorders.

In a recent study of the brain's waste drainage system, researchers from Washington University in St. Louis, collaborating with investigators at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), a part of the National Institute of Health (NIH), discovered a direct connection between the brain and its tough protective covering, the dura mater.

Predicting the trajectory of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders like autism or schizophrenia is difficult because they can be influenced by many different genetic and environmental factors.

The speed at which England's oldest adults became frailer accelerated during the UK Government's era of austerity politics, according to a new study.

Researchers estimate how exposure to various trace elements in drinking water increases the risk of depression and anxiety.

Researchers investigated how pre-dementia psychiatric diagnoses relate to well-recognized genetic risk factors for dementia in a large longitudinal population-based cohort—the United Kingdom Biobank (UKB).

Researchers investigated chronic critical illness in COVID-19 survivors who sought ICU admission and were on mechanical ventilation due to severe infection by SARS-CoV-2.

A study published in Scientific Reports explored the triggers of premature and early menopause in India based on the 2019–2021 National Family Health Survey.

Researchers collated and analyzed 12 studies comprising more than 17 years’ worth of case-control experiments aimed at elucidating site-specific cancer outcomes of legume consumption.
