by The Endocrine Society Credit: CC0 Public Domain A new study finds overweight and obese people maintained an average weight loss of 10.6% over 3 to 5 years with a program of lifestyle changes in combination with anti-obesity medications. Weight loss of more than 10% provides significant health benefits, according to researchers who are presenting...
by University of California, Irvine A schematic illustrating the mathematical model. The six cell types are denoted by circles, the mutation rates that give rise to different types are marked by the straight arrows. Type 6 (late adenoma) is marked in red. Crypt conversion rates are indicated by circular arrows and crypt fission by multiple...

by Ingrid Fadelli , Medical Xpress Before the team’s paper, the distribution and numbers of candelabrum cells were unknown. The researchers showed that candelabrum cells are abundant and present in all regions of the cerebellar cortex, arguing for an important role in cerebellar processing. This image shows mRNA signal from candelabrum cells using single molecule...
by Julia Evangelou Strait, Washington University School of Medicine A study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis shows that treatment with an immunity boosting protein called interleukin 7 (IL-7) after an infusion of genetically modified T cells causes the cancer-fighting CAR-T cells to grow in number and become more effective at...
