Published Brief anger may impair blood vessel function
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source When adults became angry after remembering past experiences, the function of cells lining the blood vessels was negatively impaired, which may restrict blood flow, according to a new study. Previous research has found that this may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. In this study, episodes of anxiety and sadness did not trigger the same change in functioning of the blood vessel lining.
Published Potential drivers of chronic allergic inflammation
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A research team embarked on a quest to understand the diversity and cellular mechanisms of human Th2 cells. By conducting gene expression analyses of inflamed tissues, they pinpointed a subset of Th2 cells called Th2-MPP cells. Their findings suggested that these cells might serve as precursors to several crucial Th2 cell populations responsible for disease symptoms. These discoveries lay the groundwork for therapeutic interventions targeting these cells, potentially offering relief to patients living with allergic diseases.
Published Researchers target neurogenesis in new approach to treat Parkinson's disease
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have found a way to better control the preclinical generation of key neurons depleted in Parkinson's disease, pointing toward a new approach for a disease with no cure and few effective treatments.
Published Cranberry extracts could boost microbiota and counter cardiometabolic diseases
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Cranberry extracts appear to improve intestinal microbiota and help prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The study reported beneficial effects after only four days of use.
Published The aspirin conundrum: Navigating negative results, age, aging dynamics and equity
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new study examining the role of aspirin in breast cancer treatment reveals critical issues related to health equity and aging that have broad implications for cancer and other disease intervention trials, say researchers.
Published Cardio-fitness cuts death and disease by nearly 20%
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Groundbreaking new research finds that an increased cardio fitness level will reduce your risk of death from any cause by nearly 20%.
Published Blood test finds knee osteoarthritis up to eight years before it appears on x-rays
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A blood test successfully predicted knee osteoarthritis at least eight years before tell-tale signs of the disease appeared on x-rays.
Published Air pollution and depression linked with heart disease deaths in middle-aged adults
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A study in more than 3,000 US counties, with 315 million residents, has suggested that air pollution is linked with stress and depression, putting under-65-year-olds at increased risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.
Published Nanomaterial that mimics proteins could be basis for new neurodegenerative disease treatments
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A newly developed nanomaterial that mimics the behavior of proteins could be an effective tool for treating Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. The nanomaterial alters the interaction between two key proteins in brain cells -- with a potentially powerful therapeutic effect.
Published Identifying a new liver defender: The role of resident macrophages
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers discovered liver resident macrophages' pivotal role in defending against gut bacteria and related substances entering via the portal vein, particularly under compromised intestinal barrier conditions. Identified as 'sentinel macrophages,' they are activated by isoallo-lithocholic acid. This finding holds promise for developing preventive and therapeutic strategies for liver chronic inflammatory diseases, such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), by enhancing the function of these macrophages to mitigate inflammation and improve treatment efficacy.
Published Physical activity in nature helps prevent several diseases, including depression and type 2 diabetes
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Physical activity in natural environments prevent almost 13,000 cases of non-communicable diseases a year in England and save treatment costs of more than 100 million, new research has found.
Published Genetic variations may predispose people to Parkinson's disease following long-term pesticide exposure, study finds
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new study found certain genetic variants could help explain how long-term pesticide exposure could increase the risk of Parkinson's disease.
Published Solving the riddle of the sphingolipids in coronary artery disease
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Investigators have uncovered a way to unleash in blood vessels the protective effects of a type of fat-related molecule known as a sphingolipid, suggesting a promising new strategy for the treatment of coronary artery disease.
Published Low intensity exercise linked to reduced depression
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source New research has found a significant association between participating in low to moderate intensity exercise and reduced rates of depression.
Published Liver cancer: Molecular signaling pathway of tumor development decoded
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source As a malignant disease of the liver cells, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the main causes of cancer-related deaths. While the treatment options for this aggressive type of cancer remain limited, the incidence is increasing. A research team has now described a molecular signalling pathway that plays a key role in the development of liver cancer, thereby identifying a potential new starting point for the development of therapeutic treatments.
Published Follow-up 50 years on finds landmark steroid study remains safe
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A follow-up analysis 50 years later finds no adverse heart health risk from Professor Mont Liggins' landmark steroid study to reduce illness and death for pre-term babies.
Published Study finds COVID-19 pandemic led to some, but not many, developmental milestone delays in infants and young children
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Infants and children 5 years old and younger experienced only 'modest' delays in developmental milestones due to the COVID-19 pandemic disruptions and restrictions, a study finds.
Published Analyzing the progression in retinal thickness could predict cognitive progression in Parkinson's patients
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Although there are still some aspects pending confirmation for its use in the clinical setting, and its resolution needs to be improved slightly, a study has shown that a method routinely used to carry out ophthalmological tests can also be used to monitor the neurodegeneration that occurs in Parkinson's patients. In the course of the research it was found that the neurodegeneration of the retina probably precedes cognitive impairment.
Published Coal train pollution increases health risks and disparities
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source The first health impact study of coal train pollution centers on the San Francisco Bay Area, with scientists finding communities near passing coal trains suffer worse health outcomes.
Published Potential new treatment path for lasting Lyme disease symptoms
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have identified a potential new treatment for persistent neurological symptoms of Lyme disease, commonly seen even after antibiotic use. The study found that fibroblast growth factor receptor inhibitors, previously studied in cancer, significantly reduced inflammation and cell death in infected brain and nerve tissues.
