  • Hospitalized patients who receive alcohol use disorder treatment can substantially reduce heavy drinking

    Hospitalized patients who receive alcohol use disorder treatment can substantially reduce heavy drinking

    Nearly 30 million adults in the United States experience alcohol use disorder (AUD), but the vast majority of people with this condition do not receive treatment. A new study led by Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH), BU Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, and Boston Medical Center (BMC) researchers indicates that hospitals may be an ideal setting to close this gap in care.

    Published in JAMA Internal Medicine, the study found that hospitalized patients with alcohol use…

  • Building ‘cellular bridges’ for spinal cord repair after injury

    Building ‘cellular bridges’ for spinal cord repair after injury

    Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny cells inside the body’s smallest blood vessels may be a powerful spinal cord repair strategy, new research suggests.

    In mouse experiments, scientists introduced a specific type of recombinant protein to the site of a spinal cord injury where these cells, called pericytes, had flooded the lesion zone. Once exposed to this protein, results showed, pericytes change shape and inhibit the production of some molecules while secreting others, creating…

  • Immune system proteins involved in severe parasitic disease identified

    Immune system proteins involved in severe parasitic disease identified

    New insights into the mechanisms that cause more severe cases of schistosomiasis — a disease caused by parasitic worms and second only to malaria in terms of potential harm — have been revealed by researchers at Penn State.

    The study — which took place in mice and was published in PLOS Pathogens — used a mouse model to examine how the body reacts to the parasite’s eggs, which trigger an immune response if they make their way into tissues and organs.

    The researchers found that the…

  • IV medication could be taken orally for range of cancer, Alzheimer’s treatments

    IV medication could be taken orally for range of cancer, Alzheimer’s treatments

    A research team led by scientists at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) made a major breakthrough with the potential to turn IV drugs into oral treatments for diseases like brain cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

    The discovery could reshape how medicines are designed, delivered and administered. Currently, complex and large-molecule drugs for hard-to-treat cancers and other diseases cannot be administered as a pill and easily absorbed into…

  • Engineered microglia show promise for treating Alzheimer’s and other brain diseases

    Engineered microglia show promise for treating Alzheimer’s and other brain diseases

    A new way to deliver disease-fighting proteins throughout the brain may improve the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological disorders, according to University of California, Irvine scientists. By engineering human immune cells called microglia, the researchers have created living cellular “couriers” capable of responding to brain pathology and releasing therapeutic agents exactly where needed.

    The National Institutes of Health-supported study, published in Cell Stem Cell,…

  • Telehealth might be a good option for women with incontinence

    Telehealth might be a good option for women with incontinence

    Women who experience urinary incontinence after giving birth may get just as much relief from telehealth as they do from physical therapy, a new UC San Francisco study has found.

    It is the first comparison of telehealth to in-person pelvic physical therapy, and the results open the door to new ways of treating a condition that affects millions of women.

    The research appears in the April 2025 issue of the Journal of Women’s and Pelvic Physical Therapy.

    “This paper provides valuable…

  • High-tech sticker can identify real human emotions

    High-tech sticker can identify real human emotions

    Saying one thing while feeling another is part of being human, but bottling up emotions can have serious psychological consequences like anxiety or panic attacks. To help health care providers tell the difference, a team led by scientists at Penn State has created a stretchable, rechargeable sticker that can detect real emotions — by measuring things like skin temperature and heart rate — even when users put on a brave face.

    The researchers recently unveiled the wearable patch that can…

  • Scientists finally confirm vitamin B1 hypothesis from 1958

    Scientists finally confirm vitamin B1 hypothesis from 1958

    Chemists have confirmed a 67-year-old theory about vitamin B1 by stabilizing a reactive molecule in water — a feat long thought impossible. The discovery not only solves a biochemical mystery, but also opens the door to greener, more efficient ways of making pharmaceuticals.

    The molecule in question is a carbene, a type of carbon atom with only six valence electrons. Generally, carbon is stable with eight electrons around it. With only six electrons, it is chemically unstable and highly…

    Israeli Historian Tom Segev at 80: “Zionism Was a Mistake from the Start”

    Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- Tom Segev, one of Israel’s most renowned historians, has broken a decades-long silence. On his 80th birthday, he declared that Zionism—Israel’s founding ideology—was a mistake.

    In a deeply personal interview with Haaretz, Segev said, “Zionism is not such a great success story. It also doesn’t provide security to Jews. It’s safer for Jews to live outside Israel.” He added that Zionism created myths instead of solutions.
