by Mario Boone, American Physiological Society Graphical abstract. Credit: American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology (2023). DOI: 10.1152/ajpcell.00318.2023 Menopause causes a decrease in “muscle power,” an indication of muscle function and strength. However, postmenopausal loss of muscle power can be partially prevented by using high-intensity interval training (HIIT), a form of aerobic exercise. The findings by researchers...
by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Inclusion criteria for each behavior cohort of the study (aggressive behavior—AGG; self-injurious behavior—SIB; BOTH refers to AGG and SIB). A formal ASD diagnosis upon entry to the center excluded the most individuals, while time periods with little data also excluded a high number of individuals. Allowing either behavior provided more data for...

James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC—James), may offer a new treatment option for patients with blood cancers, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)...

by The Francis Crick Institute Credit: CC0 Public Domain Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and Aalborg University in Copenhagen have shown that changes can be detected in blood tests up to eight years before a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease and up to three years before a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. This means the beginnings of...

Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc.Nov 6 2023 Multiple sclerosis patients whose blood tests reveal elevated NfL, a biomarker of nerve damage, could see worsening disability one to two years later, according to a new study spearheaded by researchers at UC San Francisco. The study is the first to quantify the timeframe preceding disability worsening in...
01/5An unknown group of cells that accelerate ageing identified A group of scientists from China have identified the cells that speed up ageing process. As per an unedited paper published by the peer-reviewed journal Nature on October 31, these cells surrounds the motor neurons in the spinal cord and are responsible for Parkinsonian gait, a...
Summary: A new speech prosthetic offers hope for those with speech-impairing neurological disorders. By converting brain signals into speech using high-density sensors and machine learning, the technology represents a significant advancement over current slower communication aids. Though still in early stages, the device has achieved a 40% accuracy in decoding spoken data during limited trials...
