Aspirin Linked to Reduction of Cancers of the Digestive Tract
The largest and most comprehensive analysis to date of the link between aspirin and cancers of the digestive tract has shown that it is associated not only with a significant reduction in the risk of developing bowel cancer but also of several other cancers that almost invariably fatal, such as pancreatic and liver cancers.
Proteins May Block Lethal Cytokine Storms Seen in COVID-19 Patients
A team of researchers has developed specialized antibody-like receptor proteins that they believe could soak up the excess cytokines produced during a cytokine storm. This excessive immune response, sometimes seen in Covid-19 patients, can be fatal.
Emotional Stress Remodels Neurons to Alter Brain Function
Working in a mouse model, researchers report that a single stressful event produced quick and long-lasting changes in astrocytes, the brain cells that clean up neurotransmitters after they've communicated information between nerve cells.
Researchers Identify New Marker That Predicts Likely Spread of Lung Cancer
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer, and the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. More than half of NSCLC patients die after developing metastases. There are no tests currently that would allow doctors to identify patients where more aggressive therapy could reduce mortality. Researchers at Tulane University have identified a protein on tumor-derived extracellular vesicles that indicates if a NSCLC tumor is likely to metastasize, according to a new study in Science Advances.
Protein in Eye Protects Lens From Damaging Oxidation
The lens of the human eye comprises a highly concentrated protein solution, which lends the lens its great refractive power. Protective proteins prevent these proteins from clumping together throughout a lifetime. A team of scientists from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now uncovered the precise structure of the alpha-A-crystallin protein and, in the process, discovered an important additional function.
Study Reveals How Insulin-Like Hormone Relaxin Reverses Cardiovascular Disease
As a healthy heart ages, it becomes more susceptible to cardiovascular diseases. Though researchers have discovered that relaxin, an insulin-like hormone, suppresses atrial fibrillation (AF), inflammation, and fibrosis in aged rats, the underlying mechanisms of these benefits are still unknown. Researchers discuss how relaxin interacts with the body's signaling processes to produce a fundamental mechanism that may have great therapeutic potential.
Keto Diet Works Best in Small Doses in Mouse Study
A ketogenic diet produces health benefits in the short term. As the body burns ketone bodies as an alternative source of fuel, tissue-protective gamma delta T-cells expand throughout the body, but negative effects appear after about a week, researchers found in a study of mice.
Tau Protein Surpasses Amyloid in Predicting Brain Tissue Degeneration of Alzheimer
New research implicates tau protein brain to degeneration in Alzheimer's disease more directly than amyloid, demonstrating potential of tau-based PET (positron emission tomography) brain imaging to improve patient care.
Identification of Key Protein Linked to Senescence, Aging
Aging is a dramatic public health issue in the face of the current demographic changes: the proportion of 60 and over in the world's population will almost double by 2050. In this context, a new discovery has just broadened scientific knowledge. Researchers shed light on the mechanisms of senescence, by identifying a key protein associated with aging.
Your Brain May Actively Forget During REM Sleep
Rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep is when most of our dreams are made. Now, in a study of mice, a team of Japanese and U.S. researchers show that it may also be a time when the brain actively forgets.
