A new study spearheaded by the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Medicine lab has unveiled a previously unrecognized role for an essential nutrient in shaping the cellular landscape for one of the body's first lines of defense against infection, immune cells called macrophages.

Researchers have used CRISPR gene editing, stem cells and human neurons to study the impact of a gene that is commonly mutated in autism. This new study, published today in The American Journal of Human Genetics, ties mutations in the gene CHD8 with a broad spectrum of molecular and cellular defects in human cortical neurons.

Smoking, which impacts millions of people worldwide, is one of the pervasive habits that call for effective interventions aimed at cutting down cigarette consumption. The University of Missouri School of Medicine recently discovered a breakthrough solution to help smokers control their cravings in a unique way. Effects of Theta-Burst Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TBS) on cravings and smoking behavior. First, we must grasp the nicotine dependence prior to the study. It is a complicated disor

Researchers at Mays Cancer Center at The University of Texas Health Science at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) have identified protein markers that could signal for early development of metastatic lung cancer, providing possibilities for a new treatment.

Edith Cowan University research revealed that muscle strength benefits are seen with consistent, short exercise sessions. Participants performing a three-second eccentric bicep contraction thrice weekly saw strength improvements. Daily 20-minute exercises might be more beneficial than a single 2-hour weekly session. Regularity, even in short durations, is key to health benefits.

The notion that some level of microbial exposure might reduce our risk of developing allergies has arisen over the last few decades and has been termed the hygiene hypothesis.

Standing at a crosswalk, the signal changes from "don't walk," to "walk." You might step out into the street straight away, or you might look both ways before you cross.

We can find the staircase in every building, which is common for out daily life and even for our cardiovascular health but we usually look for some advanced gym equipment's and wide park for that. New Study from Tulane University shows that including stair climbing in our daily routines can greatly reduce the risk of heart diseases by as much as 20 percent compared to taking thousands of steps a day. Beyond a Simple Exercise In fact, climbing stairs is not an insipid activity. It’s a combination

Today. we all live in eras where there is an ocean of convenient appliances, gadgets & household things meant for the sole purpose of making our lives easy. But there can be hidden dangers underneath the charm of such mundane objects. There’s nothing surprising about some of these types of risks — while others might lurk in the shadows.

Oral contraceptives, the ever-reliable soldiers in the fight against unwanted pregnancies, find themselves ensnared in a web of discussions and debates regarding their potential link to depression, particularly among adolescents and women in their initial stages of use. We plunge into this discourse, unwrapping findings, revealing paradoxes, and seeking answers. A study in Epidemiology and Psychiatric Sciences has brought to light that the initial two years of using oral contraceptives might hav

Parkinson’s disease, renowned for its debilitating effects on movement, has always been intrinsically linked to the diminishment of dopamine, a chemical imperative for motor functions. However, a groundbreaking study by the University of Montreal divulges surprising revelations about the resilience of brain’s movement circuits even with a conspicuous deficiency in dopamine during the asymptomatic phases of Parkinson’s. This groundbreaking research, led by esteemed neuroscientist Louis-Éric Trude

Depression is not a gentle opponent, yet, forward-thinking studies and fresh advancements in technology have shed light on the way to triumph over this disease. In a new research study, there’s some positive news for the millions grappling with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) is beginning to show remarkable progress which seems to offer a ray of hope for the people who are suffering from debilitating Tourette’s syndrome. DBS, still an early stage trial, is a pr
