McGill researchers have demonstrated something long assumed: that glances can transmit information about one’s mental state to others without a single word being exchanged. They speculate that this primal ability may have played a role in assuring the survival of human society at times when making a sound could have attracted predators.

Cycling promotes health and longevity in older adults, especially nondrivers

MyBlueDots17 hours ago01 mins

A significant number of older adults in Japan use bicycles as a means of transportation compared with their counterparts in Europe and the United States. Previous research has demonstrated that cyclists exhibit higher levels of social interaction and physical activity. Although cycling is considered a vital activity that can reduce the need for long-term care and lower mortality risk, long-term follow-up studies have not examined these correlations in the Japanese context.

Clinical trials are the next step for testing vaccine against Alzheimer’s-promoting tau protein

University of New Mexico Health Sciences researchers hope to launch human clinical trials in their quest for a vaccine to prevent the buildup of pathological tau—a protein in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s dementia.

B cells found to be crucial for long-term vaccine protection

MyBlueDots18 hours ago01 mins

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have uncovered a critical, previously underappreciated role for B cells in vaccine protection. Best known for producing antibodies, B cells also guide other immune cells, specifically CD8 T cells, teaching them how to mount lasting defenses after vaccination.

Most patients newly diagnosed with atrial fibrillation do not receive anticoagulants

MyBlueDots18 hours ago01 mins

For patients newly diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF) during hospitalization for other causes, most are not dispensed anticoagulants in the year after discharge, although some have a stroke risk approximating the threshold for initiation, according to a study published online April 22 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Weight-loss medications help adjust the hormones that make a person feel hungry, causing them to feel full faster after eating small portions. However, once a person stops taking these medications, there is a likelihood of regaining weight that was lost.

3D bioprinting uses collagen to bring vascularized tissue one step closer

MyBlueDots18 hours ago01 mins

Using their novel Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels (FRESH) 3D bioprinting technique, which allows for the printing of soft living cells and tissues, Carnegie Mellon’s Feinberg lab has built a first-of-its-kind microphysiologic system, or tissue model, entirely out of collagen. This advancement expands the capabilities of how researchers can study disease and build tissues for therapy, such as type 1 diabetes.
