Exposure to air pollution–derived ultrafine particles alters gene transcription by epigenetic mechanisms, a new study shows. The changes affected, for example, cellular survival.

Exercise may yield improved sleep quality in women with PTSD symptoms

High-intensity exercise can improve sleep quality—possibly by reducing anxiety and hyperarousal symptoms—in women with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, according to new research from the University of Georgia’s Department of Kinesiology.

Dopamine signals when a fear can be forgotten, study shows

Dangers come but dangers also go and when they do, the brain has an “all-clear” signal that teaches it to extinguish its fear.

From aesthetics to precision: How clear aligners are transforming orthodontic care

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

Malocclusion affects nearly half of the global population, impacting oral function and aesthetics. Clear aligners have gained popularity due to their discreet appearance and ease of use, but their effectiveness varies depending on the type of tooth movement required.

USDA drops plan to limit salmonella in poultry products

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has dropped plans to require poultry companies to limit salmonella bacteria in chicken and turkey products, ending a Biden administration effort to reduce foodborne illness.

Community resources help food-insecure kids make fewer ER visits

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

In a new clinical study published in JAMA Pediatrics, researchers at the University of Chicago Medicine found that a low-intensity program that “prescribes” community resources to every parent or other primary caregiver of a hospitalized child reduced the use of acute care for children of food-insecure families in the following year, saving potentially thousands of dollars in health care expenditures while demanding little more than minutes of staff time per family.

Age-related genetic changes in the blood associated with poor cancer prognosis

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute, UCL, Gustave Roussy and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), have discovered that expansion of mutant blood cells, a phenomenon linked to aging, can be found in cancerous tumors, and this is associated with worse outcomes for patients.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Dupixent (dupilumab) for the treatment of adults and adolescents with chronic spontaneous urticaria.

TRIM63 identified as key gene in common heart disease, unlocking potential for earlier diagnosis

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

An Israeli study has identified TRIM63 as a significant genetic contributor to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)—the most common hereditary heart disease worldwide. The findings, published in Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine, could transform genetic screening and treatment protocols for HCM patients around the globe.

Newly discovered cells in connective tissue open up strategy against pancreatic cancer

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have discovered a previously unknown type of connective tissue cells that surround cancer cells in pancreatic tumors. The newly discovered cells counteract tumor development and may therefore be a target for research into new treatments for pancreatic cancer, which is one of the deadliest forms of cancer. The work is published in the journal Cancer Research.
