Researchers discovered a wide range of risk factors for young-onset dementia. The findings bring the notion that heredity is the only cause of the disease into question, paving the potential for innovative prevention measures. The full study is entitled ‘Risk factors for young-onset dementia in the UK Biobank: A prospective population-based study’, published in JAMA […]
A research team led by Associate Professor Hidenori Nishihara from Kindai University and Professor Yoshiro Ishimaru from Meiji University, Japan, have identified five new, previously undiscovered groups within the TAS1R family. This discovery is a result of a genome-widesurvey of jawed vertebrates including all major fish groups. Researchers from all over the world are examining […]
According to a study from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, artery calcification is nearly twice as common in night owls as it is in early birds. Circadian function appears to be crucial in the early stages of cardiovascular disease.Atherosclerosis involves fatty deposits accumulating on the inside of the arteries, making it harder for blood […]
A wide range of risk factors for young-onset dementia have been found by researchers. The findings call into question the concept that genetics is the only cause of the disease, paving the way for novel preventative techniques.The large-scale study identified 15 risk factors, which are similar to those for late-onset dementia. For the first time, […]
The total COVID-19 cases in India since January 2020 now stand at 4,50,10,944, with a total death toll of 5,33,346.
A recent study conducted by Virginia Commonwealth University scientists found that a warmer environment may result in more mosquitos as predators struggle to maintain their number.As the cover feature in Ecology, a journal published by the Ecological Society of America, the study — “Warming and Top-Down Control of Stage-Structured Prey: Linking Theory to Patterns in […]
How are memories formed when sleeping? Research led by Dr Thomas Schreiner, head of the Emmy Noether junior research group at LMU’s Department of Psychology, demonstrated a direct relationship between the emergence of certain sleep-related brain activity patterns and the reactivation of memory contents during sleep in 2021. However, it was still unclear whether these […]
Researchers discovered that immune cells actively and closely guide the formation of human lung tissue throughout development, revolutionising our understanding of early lung development and the role of immune cells beyond immunity.The findings may aid researchers in better understanding and treating respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Over 20 per cent of […]
According to a study conducted by an environmental and reproductive epidemiologist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, exposure to phthalates, a group of plasticizing and solvent compounds found in many household objects, was connected with a lower risk of becoming pregnant but not with pregnancy loss. The study, published this week in the journal Environmental […]
Researchers discovered a previously unknown class of antibodies–immune system proteins that guard against disease–that appear to be capable of neutralising different strains of flu virus.These findings, which could aid in the creation of more broadly protective flu vaccinations, were published in the open access journal PLOS Biology by Simmons of the University of Pittsburgh School […]
