Vienna, September 06, 2021.- Extremely premature infants are at a high risk for brain damage. Researchers have now found possible targets for the early treatment of such damage outside the brain: Bacteria in the gut of premature infants may play a key role. The research team found that the overgrowthContinuar Leyendo
For millions of people with epilepsy and movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, electrical stimulation of the brain already is widening treatment possibilities. In the future, electrical stimulation may help people with psychiatric illness and direct brain injuries, such as stroke. Rochester, September 06, 2021.- However, studying how brain networksContinuar Leyendo

Cleveland, September 04, 2021.- The tool, developed through analysis of CT scans from nearly 900 COVID-19 patients diagnosed in 2020, was able toContinuar Leyendo
With a goal of developing rheumatoid arthritis therapies with minimal side effects, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have genetically engineered cells that, when implanted in mice, will deliver a biologic drug in response to inflammation. Washington, September 02, 2021.- The engineered cells reduced inflammation andContinuar Leyendo
Scientists have uncovered a fascinating new insight into what caused one of the most rapid and dramatic instances of climate change in the history of the Earth. Exeter, September 01, 2021.- A team of researchers, led by Dr Sev Kender from the University of Exeter, have made a pivotal breakthroughContinuar Leyendo
ESA and the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs are opening the second round of their HyperGES fellowship, part of the Access to Space For All Initiative, offering student teams around the globe the chance to perform hypergravity experiments using the Large Diameter Centrifuge at ESA’s ESTEC technical centreContinuar Leyendo
People with an inherited condition known as neurofibromatosis type 1, or NF1, often develop non-cancerous, or benign, tumors that grow along nerves. These tumors can sometimes turn into aggressive cancers, but there hasn’t been a good way to determine whether this transformation to cancer has happened. Washington, Setember 01, 2021.-Continuar Leyendo
Scientists have simulated the transition of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein structure from when it recognises the host cell to when it gains entry, according to a study published today in eLife. Houston, September 01, 2021.- The research shows that a structure enabled by sugar molecules on the spike protein couldContinuar Leyendo
Using a novel modelling approach, new research published today in Nature Ecology and Evolution reveals the location and intensity of key threats to biodiversity on land and identifies priority areas across the world to help inform conservation decision making at national and local levels. Vienna, August 31, 2021.- A teamContinuar Leyendo
New research from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences demonstrates the beneficial effect of breast milk consumption on cardiovascular health and early cardiovascular development in premature infants. Published in JAMA Network Open, the study of 80 preterm infants is the first of its kind to show that preterm infantsContinuar Leyendo
