Now, a new study published July 2 in PLOS One bringsContinuar Leyendo
Endoscopies could be replaced by far less invasive capsule sponge tests for half of all patients with Barrett’s oesophagus, a known precursor to oesophageal cancer, according to a new study. The capsule sponge test is easier to administer and could be carried out by nurses and at GP practices, reducingContinuar Leyendo
Researchers from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN), in collaboration with the University of Münster (Germany) and the University of Turku (Finland), have discovered a novel biomarker for severe multiple sclerosis (MS). This research will contribute to our understanding of the molecular processes involved in progressive MS, and may aidContinuar Leyendo
New York, June 10, 2025.- Every living creature on Earth needs to protect itself from things that would do it harm. Bacteria are no different. And despite their relative simplicity, they deploy remarkably savvy defensive strategies against viral invaders. The most well-known is CRISPR-Cas9, adapted for human use as theContinuar Leyendo
New York, June 10, 2025.- Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June 5 in Nature Methods, used imaging data from the Human Connectome ProjectContinuar Leyendo
Laura Goodman was close to finalizing a prototype of a new test that can detect any tick-borne disease. Unlike some current tests, it could provide results even before symptoms occur – and even for unknown diseases. New York, June 04, 2025.- That’s important, because ticks around the world can potentiallyContinuar Leyendo
New York, May 14, 2025.- Fanconi anemia is an aggressive, life-threatening disorder. Most individuals living with this rare genetic condition, characterized by bone marrow failure and cancer predisposition, survive into adulthood only with bone marrow transplantation and regular cancer screening.
