Gene expression analyses reveal molecular insights into bone remodeling

MyBlueDots7 months ago01 mins

Bones are the living tissue on which the human skeleton is constructed and play a key role in enabling physical movements. The structural integrity of bones has been attributed to bone remodeling—a highly regulated process of bone formation and bone resorption (dissolving old and damaged bones), driven by osteoblast and osteoclast bone cells, respectively.

People who are autistic and transgender/gender diverse have poorer health and health care, study finds

MyBlueDots7 months ago01 mins

People with the skin condition psoriasis often have invisible inflammation in the small intestine with an increased propensity for “leaky gut,” according to new research at Uppsala University. These changes in the gut could explain why psoriasis sufferers often have gastrointestinal problems and are more prone to developing Crohn’s disease.

Digital therapeutics: Exploring the road to commercialization across international markets

Digital therapeutics allow health care workers and patients to use software in the management and treatment of disease. The idea spans various health care areas, including mental health, chronic disease management, neurological disorders, addiction treatment, and rehabilitation.

Supervised exercise can improve mental health and quality of life in people with coronary heart disease

MyBlueDots7 months ago01 mins

A study led by researchers from the University of Granada, carried out in collaboration with the University of Castilla-La Mancha and the Radboud University Medical Center (The Netherlands), has shown that the context in which physical exercise is performed plays a key role in improving the mental health and quality of life of patients with coronary heart disease.

As California wildfires continue to rage, smoke researchers warn of immediate and long-term health effects
