    Preclinical study: After heart attack, a boost in anti-inflammatory cells promoted healing

    A scientific technique that rapidly increases the body’s production of anti-inflammatory cells promoted healing from heart attacks in mice, according to a new study by investigators from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai. Once adapted to treat humans, the technique could potentially be used to repair heart muscle damage after a heart attack and be applied to a variety of inflammatory disorders.

    The investigators’ findings were published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Clinical…

  • Effects of multifunctional facility on daily walking time

    Effects of multifunctional facility on daily walking time

    Designing walkable neighborhoods has gained attention as a method to increase physical activity among urban populations. Moreover, highly walkable areas stimulate increased neighborhood retail sales, higher property values, and greater urban sustainability. However, only limited methods are available for improving walkability in the urban centers of highly motorized suburban cities. In the urban areas of suburban cities, increasing land-use diversity by opening a multifunctional facility is…

  • mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines train the ‘long-term memory’ of the immune system

    mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines train the ‘long-term memory’ of the immune system

    Researchers at the University of Cologne and University Hospital Cologne have shown in their study that the novel mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines not only induce acquired immune responses such as antibody production, but also cause persistent epigenetic changes in innate immune cells. The study ‘Persistent epigenetic memory of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination in monocyte-derived macrophages’ led by Professor Dr Jan Rybniker, who heads the Division of Infectious Diseases at University Hospital…

    Adulting is hard on the heart: Teen to young adulthood is a critical time to address risk

    Many teenagers enter adulthood with significant risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and the transition from adolescence to adulthood is a key time to address these risk factors and reduce the risk of developing future cardiovascular disease, according to a new American Heart Association scientific statement published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

    According to the scientific statement, “Cardiovascular Health in the Transition from Adolescence to Emerging…

  • Open-label placebos improve premenstrual syndrome

    Open-label placebos improve premenstrual syndrome

    For many women, the days prior to menstruation are characterized by physical and mental suffering, with abdominal pain, nausea, mood swings, and anxiety. Almost half of women of reproductive age are affected by premenstrual syndrome (PMS), which restricts their everyday well-being and performance. Women with PMS are also more likely to suffer from depression, eating disorders, and migraines and are at a higher risk of suicide.

    Doctors prescribe various medications and supplements to help…

  • Remember ebola?

    Remember ebola?

    Six years before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, an Ebola outbreak in West Africa had people fearing the possibility of a global outbreak. This was the first time many had ever heard of the virus, but since it was first identified in 1976, there have actually been more than 20 serious Ebola incidents. Thankfully, none of them had the global reach of the coronavirus. Ebola has not been eradicated, however. This deadly virus, which causes severe hemorrhagic fever in humans and has a…

  • Repetitive behaviors and special interests are more indicative of an autism diagnosis than a lack of social skills

    Repetitive behaviors and special interests are more indicative of an autism diagnosis than a lack of social skills

    People with autism are typically diagnosed by clinical observation and assessment. To deconstruct the clinical decision process, which is often subjective and difficult to describe, researchers used a large language model (LLM) to synthesize the behaviors and observations that are most indicative of an autism diagnosis. Their results, publishing in the Cell Press journal Cell, show that repetitive behaviors, special interests, and perception-based behaviors are most associated with an autism…

    Smart insoles that could change the game for sports and health

    What if your insoles could do more than just cushion your feet? Imagine a pair that could track your movements, help athletes avoid injuries, or even assist doctors in monitoring recovery.

    A new study by scientists at the University of Portsmouth and technology company TG0, funded by Innovate UK via a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP), has brought us closer to making this idea a reality.

    A team of researchers have successfully designed a new smart insole system that can accurately measure…

  • Target to repair injured muscles discovered

    Target to repair injured muscles discovered

    For millions of people, losing muscle isn’t just about weakness; it’s about losing independence. Whether caused by Duchenne muscular dystrophy, aging or other degenerative conditions, muscle loss can make everyday activities — like walking, climbing stairs or even standing up — a daily struggle. But a recent discovery from researchers at the University of Houston College of Pharmacy could help change that.

    The team, led by Ashok Kumar, Else and Philip Hargrove Endowed Professor of Drug…

  • Study identifies Shisa7 gene as key driver in heroin addiction

    Study identifies Shisa7 gene as key driver in heroin addiction

    Opioid use disorder is associated with more than 350,000 deaths annually worldwide. Guided by the need for an increased understanding of critical neurobiological features of addiction, researchers have now found a unique molecular signature and genes in the orbitofrontal cortex associated with heroin-seeking behavior. A preclinical rodent model implicated a gene called Shisa7 as the key predictor. A new study in Biological Psychiatry, published by Elsevier, provides valuable insights into…
