Even though antiretroviral therapy has made HIV a manageable disease, people living with it often suffer from chronic inflammation. This can put them at an increased risk of developing comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease and neurocognitive dysfunction, impacting the longevity and quality of their lives.
Washington [US], September 27 (ANI): A novel role for a cancer-causing gene in controlling an important genetic process that underpins genetic variation in prostate cancer has been identified by researchers from Barts Cancer Institute (BCI) at Queen Mary University of London, the Italian Institute for Genomic Medicine, and the University of Milan.
Boston [US], September 9 (ANI): Calorie restriction has long been linked to fewer seizures in people with epilepsy. Novel research from Boston Children's Hospital helps to explain how fasting affects neurons in the brain and may pave the door for new treatments that do not require fasting or restrictive diets.
Washington [US], August 23 (ANI): DNA analysis and a collection of photos of genetically unrelated lookalikes have revealed that strong facial similarity is associated with shared genetic variants.
Washington [US], August 21 (ANI): Salk Institute researchers have found that a biochemical pathway that combines potentially dangerous sights, sounds, and odours into a single message: Be afraid. CGRP is a protein that permits neurons in two distinct sections of the brain to combine dangerous sensory signals into a coherent signal, label it as negative, and transmit it to the amygdala, where it is converted into fear.
Washington [US], August 14 (ANI): Disruption of the circadian clocks that keep the body and its cells entrained to the 24-hour day-night cycle plays a critical role in weight gain, according to a pair of studies.
Washington [US], August 10 (ANI): Disruption of the circadian clocks that keep the body and its cells entrained to the 24-hour day-night cycle plays a critical role in weight gain, according to a pair of studies.
Washington [US], July 11 (ANI): According to a new study each person's gut is home to 500 to 1,000 different bacterial species, which might total 100,000 trillion germs. Researchers from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine used mouse models to examine how diet and feeding habits affect these intestinal microbes and the health of the hosts, particularly with obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Washington [US], July 5 (ANI): Considering the speculation about whether the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine can reawaken previous antibody responses and pave the way to a universal coronavirus vaccine, new research on a COVID-19 vaccine's antibody response suggests that the immune system's history with other coronaviruses, along with those behind the common cold, influences a patient's response, as per a study published in Cell Reports.
Charlottesville (Virginia) [US], April 15 (ANI): Scientists from the University of Virginia have discovered a cluster of cells in the brainstem that controls the body's response to severe blood loss. This finding could benefit efforts to develop new treatments for traumatic injuries.
