The PCCs and p values are indicated....
by Kathryn Ryan, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc Credit: CC0 Public DomainA new study in the Journal of Neurotrauma has shown that Angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) activation improves neurological and cardiac deficiencies caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI) in mice. AT2R activation is known to exert protective roles in the brain and heart. TBI of...
Peer-Reviewed Publication WILEY Capsaicin, derived from hot chili pepper plants, has been used to treat various types of pain, and a high concentration capsaicin patch (HCCP) is approved for the treatment of nerve (or neuropathic) pain. In a real-world study published in Pain Practice that included 97 outpatients in Germany diagnosed primarily with neuropathic back...
Study results could point to new possibilities for personalised therapeutic approaches Peer-Reviewed Publication MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OF VIENNA Next to other complications, cirrhosis is also linked to abnormalities in haemostasis. However, the role of alterations in platelet function had previously been insufficiently investigated. Now, researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have shed light on the...
POSTED BY GINA DIGRAVIO-BOSTON A new discovery brings researchers one step closer to diagnosing chronic traumatic encephalopathy in living patients, rather than after death. Years of research have shown that athletes who play high-contact sports—like tackle football and soccer—and endure frequent hits to the head risk developing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative disease. It’s not...
Sleeping too much or too little is associated with changes in the brain that are known to precede and increase the risk of stroke and dementia later in life, a new study suggests. In one of the largest neuroimaging studies of its kind, researchers at Yale School of Medicine (YSM) examined the brain images of...

The findings are published in the journal Nature Communications. Professor Justin Stebbing of Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) is...
by Ernie Mundell New research suggests healthy lifestyles can help stave off dementia, perhaps by building a resilient ‘cognitive reserve’ in the aging brain. The study was based on the brain autopsies on 586 people who lived to an average age of almost 91. Researchers compared each person’s lifestyle and end-of-life mental skills to their...

The research delves into the efficacy of a...
by Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute Credit: Cancer Research Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1158/2767-9764.CRC-23-0389Alterations in the chemical modifications that control gene expression, known as epigenetics, have proven to be one of the most characteristic properties of all human tumors. This realization has generated the development of intense pharmacological research to find drugs that act at this level...
