San Diego (California) [US] August 2 (ANI): The body absorbs too much iron due to a condition known as hereditary hemochromatosis, which is brought on by a gene mutation. This causes tissue damage and diseases like liver disease, heart disease, and diabetes. However, scant and conflicting research had shown that the blood-brain barrier, a system of blood arteries and tissue made up of tightly spaced cells that guards against invasive pathogens and toxins, was responsible for sparing the brain from iron accumulation.
Washington [US], July 5 (ANI): According to a new study, engineers from the University of California San Diego have discovered that lithium-ion batteries perform well in extreme weather conditions while packing a lot of energy. The researchers also found out that an electrolyte not only is versatile and robust throughout an extensive temperature range but also compatible with a high-energy anode and cathode.
Washington [US], June 30 (ANI): Researchers have gained ground in understanding unique immune cells equipped to remember the identities of malicious invaders. The researchers developed a new atlas that describes tissue-resident memory T cells in diverse tissue settings, boosting the prospects of the development of immune defence strategies to enhance immunity at sites vulnerable to infection.

Washington [US], December 2 (ANI): Following research about college students from before COVID-19 with a survey at the pandemic's Year I mark, an international team of scientists detected no improvement in the students' mental well-being even after the introduction of vaccines and the easing of social distancing methods, let alone a return to campuses in many instances.
Washington [US], November 10 (ANI): A recent study led by an international team of researchers reveals a previously unrealized complexity in cancer development, one that raises concerns and caution about targeting Shp2 in oncological treatments.
Washington [US], October 31 (ANI): A new review of current literature, conducted by the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London, has found that irregular responses in the brain to challenging tasks and mistakes could be key to understanding common links between abnormal behaviours in a range of mental illness and cognitive disorders.
