  • Key enzyme in lipid metabolism linked to immune system aging

    Key enzyme in lipid metabolism linked to immune system aging

    Our immune systems weaken as we get older, making fewer cells that fight infection and help us recover from illness and injury. Scientists aren’t completely sure why. They may have a better idea now, however, thanks to a new study in GeroScience.

    “Immune cell changes occur during aging for a number of reasons, but we still don’t completely understand why we have fewer antibody-producing cells with age,” said Leslie Crews, Ph.D., assistant professor of medicine at University of California San…

    Americans don’t think bird flu is a threat, study suggests

    In an editorial in the American Journal of Public Health, a team led by researchers from the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy (CUNY SPH) say public ignorance and apathy towards bird flu (highly pathogenic avian influenza, or HPAI) could pose a serious obstacle to containing the virus and preventing a larger-scale public health crisis.

    The authors, including CUNY SPH Assistant Professor Rachael Piltch-Loeb, Associate Professor Katarzyna Wyka, Professor Jeffrey V….

    Researchers use machine learning to predict exercise adherence

    Sticking to an exercise routine is a challenge many people face. But a University of Mississippi research team is using machine learning to uncover what keeps individuals committed to their workouts.

    The team — Seungbak Lee and Ju-Pil Choe, both doctoral students in physical education, and Minsoo Kang, professor of sport analytics in the Department of Health, Exercise Science and Recreation Management — hopes to predict whether a person is meeting physical activity guidelines based on…

    Iran has ‘doubts’ about US intentions ahead of nuclear talks | Politics News

    Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has cast doubt over the intentions of the United States a day before a second round of nuclear talks is set to take place with Washington.

    The new round will come a week after the two countries held their highest-level negotiations since US President Donald Trump unilaterally abandoned a 2015 landmark nuclear deal three years later. Iran has since abandoned all limits on its nuclear programme, and enriches uranium to up to 60 percent purity – near…

  • Soft brainstem implant delivers high-resolution hearing

    Soft brainstem implant delivers high-resolution hearing

    Over the last couple of decades, many people have regained hearing functionality with the most successful neurotech device to date: the cochlear implant. But for those whose cochlear nerve is too damaged for a standard cochlear implant, a promising alternative is an auditory brainstem implant (ABI). Unfortunately, current ABIs are rigid implants that do not allow for good tissue contact. As a result, doctors commonly switch off a majority of the electrodes due to unwanted side effects such…

  • Existing drug has potential for immune paralysis

    Existing drug has potential for immune paralysis

    When the immune system does not function properly, individuals become more susceptible to infections caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi. Researchers from Radboud university medical center have demonstrated that an existing drug can revive immune cells that are not functioning correctly. These findings provide leads for further research in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with sepsis.

    Twenty percent of global deaths are associated with sepsis, and it is the leading cause…

  • Cognitively impaired older drivers are less likely to cause a crash when accompanied by a passenger

    Cognitively impaired older drivers are less likely to cause a crash when accompanied by a passenger

    Researchers from University of Tsukuba examined variations in the likelihood of older drivers causing traffic crashes based on the presence of a passenger, utilizing nationwide traffic crash data between 2014 and 2020. Their analysis revealed that even drivers with cognitive impairment had a reduced risk of causing crashes when accompanied by a passenger.

    To reduce traffic crashes involving older drivers, driving lessons and cognitive assessments have long been part of driver’s license…
