??? A recent study published in the journal Nature Communications sheds light on how our preference for using one hand over the other—known as handedness—is reflected in brain functioning, particularly among 9- to 10-year-old children. Previous research has shown that handedness develops early in life, influenced by a mix of genetic, environmental, and brain …
??? Innovative research is helping to enhance deep brain stimulation therapy results, giving patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) fresh hope. Julia Hum, a 24-year-old woman with severe OCD, suffered for years with persistent ideas that her food was tainted. Her health deteriorated to the point where she needed to use a wheelchair and …
??? Huge research has shown that specific bodyweight workouts, known as static and isometric exercises, can have significant health advantages, including decreased blood pressure. According to research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, exercises such as planks and wall squats, which flex and activate muscles without the use of weights, are the …
??? Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have discovered blood-based indicators associated with both healthy and rapid aging, which enables them to estimate an individual’s biological age, or the rate at which their cells and organs age independent of their date of birth. The study, which was published in Aging Cell, identifies molecules and …
??? A recent study involving 93 million people who received one of the major COVID-19 vaccines has reaffirmed what we already knew about their safety. The study found that adverse events related to the vaccines were rare and occurred at much lower rates than those experienced by people infected with the virus itself. For …
??? Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have produced “meat fiber-like” protein strands by coaxing blue-green algae to act as a surrogate mother for a novel protein. The accomplishment could hold the secret to sustainably produced food with the “perfect” texture and no processing needed. We are all aware that eating more plant-based meals …
??? Chronic sinusitis, also called chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), is the fifth most common condition treated with antibiotics, accounting for up to 22 million physician visits and up to $5 billion in annual costs. According to the National Institutes for Health, it affects about 14.6% of the US population. The frequency of persons with allergy …
??? A new study undertaken at the University of Sussex discovered a significant advance in the fight against aggressive brain cancer, giving hope to hundreds of thousands of people stricken by this serious disease. The study sheds light on the management of such tumors and suggests a possible approach to better patient outcomes. The …
??? Scientists discovered a link between PrPC, which is commonly associated with neurodegenerative illnesses, and glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive brain tumor. This development provides promise for new, more effective medicines. When you think about glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive brain tumor, you may not immediately contemplate the function of a protein commonly connected with neurodegenerative …
??? Fungi can cause disease in humans, animals, and plants. Every year, 1.5 million people die from fungal infections, and fungal attacks in food crops threaten food production. To protect ourselves, we have developed chemical agents—medicines or pesticides—that kill harmful fungi. The most effective remedy against fungal infections is a group of substances collectively …
