In a new study, Northwestern University researchers used artificial intelligence to analyze data from a wide variety of tissues, collected from humans, mice, rats and killifish. They discovered that the length of genes can explain most molecular-level changes that occur during aging.
By analyzing DNA samples from over 200 dog breeds along with nearly 50,000 pet-owner surveys, researchers at the National Institutes of Health have pinpointed many of the genes associated with the behaviors of specific dog breeds.
Approximately 80% of cancer patients experience substantial muscle wasting or loss of muscular tissue, and 30% of these individuals die as a result of this illness. According to new mouse research, the severity of muscle wasting is related to the kind, size, and location of the tumour.
According to recent research from the Youth Development Institute at the University of Georgia, the holidays can be stressful for many people, but that may not be a bad thing when it comes to brain functioning.
Washington [US], October 21 (ANI): According to research results presented at the IDWeek Conference in Washington, starting antiretroviral treatment (ART) early in the course of HIV infection when the immune system is stronger results in better long-term health outcomes compared to delayed ART.
Washington [US], October 11 (ANI): Women with migraine may have a higher risk of pregnancy complications like preterm delivery, gestational high blood pressure and preeclampsia, according to a preliminary study. Researchers also found that women with migraine with aura may have a somewhat higher risk of preeclampsia than women with migraine without aura. Auras are sensations that come before the headache, often visual disturbances such as flashing lights. Preeclampsia involves high blood pressure with additional symptoms, such as protein in the urine, during pregnancy, which can threaten the life of the mother and baby.
Maryland [US], October 7 (ANI): The arrangement of human retinal cell chromatin, the fibres that wrap 3 billion nucleotide-long DNA molecules into compact structures that fit into chromosomes within each cell's nucleus, was mapped by National Eye Institute researchers. The resultant complete gene regulatory network sheds light on gene expression regulation in general, as well as retinal function in both unusual and prevalent eye illnesses.
Indiana [US], October 1 (ANI): Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine are developing new ways to investigate why antibiotics cause permanent hearing loss and hair cell death in humans.
Indiana [US], September 27 (ANI): Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine are coming up with fresh approaches to investigate why antibiotic results in permanent hearing loss and the death of hair cells in people.
