Signals from dying cells may spur liver regeneration after acetaminophen injury

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

Acetaminophen is the most frequently taken fever and pain medication worldwide, but overdosing can be toxic to liver cells. In the United States, about 1,600 cases of acute liver failure and 500 deaths occur each year due to acetaminophen overuse and liver failure. Although the liver has a remarkable potential to regenerate and recover from injury, scientists are seeking to better understand how this happens after acetaminophen toxicity.

Lab demonstrates key molecular factor in exhaustion of immune cells—with treatment implications

A suite of six newly published reviews from the Texas A&M Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Evidence Center found that seafood intake during pregnancy and childhood is likely associated with beneficial neurocognitive development outcomes in children.

Exercise enhances stem cell transplant function in Parkinson’s disease, study finds

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a disabling neurodegenerative disease that affects approximately 10 million people worldwide, with numbers steadily increasing. Symptoms include tremors, difficulties with movement and speech, as well as mental health issues and dementia. Although PD can be managed by medication and lifestyle adjustments, the efficacy of these interventions varies between patients and cannot stop or reverse disease progression.

HIV drugs offer ‘substantial’ Alzheimer’s protection, new research suggests

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

UVA Health scientists are calling for clinical trials testing the potential of HIV drugs called NRTIs to prevent Alzheimer’s disease after discovering that patients taking the drugs are substantially less likely to develop the condition. The researchers have published their findings in Alzheimer’s & Dementia.

Did Europeans know the 1918 flu was a pandemic in 1918?

John Eicher, associate professor of history at Penn State Altoona, has published an article on the 1918 influenza pandemic in the journal Contemporary European History.

BabyBot: Soft robotic infant mimics feeding behaviors from birth to 6 months old

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

A combined team of roboticists from CREATE Lab, EPFL and Nestlé Research Lausanne, both in Switzerland, has developed a soft robot that was designed to mimic human infant motor development and the way infants feed.

Molecular mechanism that initiates colon cancer opens new path for prevention

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

Colorectal cancer is the third most diagnosed type of cancer worldwide. Up to 80% of the cases are related to environmental factors and lifestyle, such as poor diet, sedentarism, obesity, smoking or excessive alcohol consumption. Most colorectal cancers arise from adenomatous polyps, a precancerous lesion that may progress to a malignant tumor unless it is detected and removed in time.

Advanced imaging, targeted therapy help men with prostate cancer safely defer surgery and radiation therapy

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

In a new study led by the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, investigators show that using advanced MRI imaging and targeted focal therapy can help many men with low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer safely stay on active surveillance long-term, helping avoid follow-up biopsies and delay—or even avoid—invasive treatments like surgery or radiation.

New gene linked to severe cases of Fanconi anemia

Fanconi anemia is an aggressive, life-threatening disorder. Most individuals living with this rare genetic condition, characterized by bone marrow failure and cancer predisposition, survive into adulthood only with bone marrow transplantation and regular cancer screening.
