  • The right moves to reign in fibrosis

    The right moves to reign in fibrosis

    The cells in human bodies are subject to both chemical and mechanical forces. But up until recently, scientists have not understood much about how to manipulate the mechanical side of that equation. That’s about to change.

    “This is a major breakthrough in our ability to be able to control the cells that drive fibrosis,” according to Guy Genin, the Harold and Kathleen Faught Professor of Mechanical Engineering in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis,…

    Healthy eating in midlife linked to overall healthy aging

    Maintaining a healthy diet rich in plant-based foods, with low to moderate intake of healthy animal-based foods and lower intake of ultra-processed foods, was linked to a higher likelihood of healthy aging — defined as reaching age 70 free of major chronic diseases and with cognitive, physical, and mental health maintained, according to a new study by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, University of Copenhagen, and University of Montreal. The study is among the first…

    New non-surgical contraceptive implant is delivered through tiny needles

    Mass General Brigham and MIT investigators have developed a long-acting contraceptive implant that can be delivered through tiny needles to minimize patient discomfort and increase the likelihood of medication use.

    Their findings in preclinical models provide the technological basis to develop self-administrable contraceptive shots that could mimic the long-term drug release of surgically implanted devices.

    The new approach, which would reduce how often patients need to inject themselves and…

  • Avoidable deaths are on the rise in the United States, yet falling in many peer nations

    Avoidable deaths are on the rise in the United States, yet falling in many peer nations

    When a person dies, clinicians often look at the cause of death to determine whether it could have been avoided, either by medical prevention such as vaccines or by treatments like antibiotics. These types of deaths are known as avoidable mortalities, and in most high-income countries around the world, the number is going down.

    But in the United States, avoidable deaths have been on the rise for more than a decade, according to a new study by researchers at the Brown University School of…

  • At-home smell test for early detection of Alzheimer’s disease

    At-home smell test for early detection of Alzheimer’s disease

    When it comes to early detection of cognitive impairment, a new study suggests that the nose knows. Researchers from Mass General Brigham developed olfactory tests — in which participants sniff odor labels that have been placed on a card — to assess people’s ability to discriminate, identify and remember odors. They found that participants could successfully take the test at home and that older adults with cognitive impairment scored lower on the test than cognitively normal adults….

    Sudan war at ‘turning point’ but no end in sight: analysts

    Sudan’s army has recaptured the presidential palace from rival paramilitaries and is pushing ahead to wrest full control of the capital, but analysts warn that the brutal two-year war is far from over.

    In the early days of the fighting, the army-aligned government was forced to flee Khartoum, which army forces are now a breath away from regaining — the result of a counteroffensive launched late last year after a succession of humiliating defeats.

    “This victory is a turning point as it redraws…

    West Bank Palestinians in ‘extremely precarious’ situation: MSF

    Doctors Without Borders (MSF) denounced on Monday the “extremely precarious” situation of Palestinians displaced by the ongoing Israeli military operation in the occupied West Bank.

    According to the United Nations, some 40,000 residents have been displaced since January 21, when the Israeli army launched an operation targeting Palestinian armed groups in the north of the territory.

    The West Bank, occupied by Israel since 1967, is home to about three million Palestinians as well as nearly…
