Computational framework identifies novel pathway for asthma inflammation
Researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, in collaboration with investigators at the University of Chicago, have developed a new computational framework that helps scientists identify genes that play central roles in diseases such as asthma but are often
Stem cells create humanlike heart valve tissue to model disease and test treatments
Melbourne researchers have created human heart valve tissues from stem cells, providing a powerful new platform to advance treatments for childhood heart diseases.
What is driving America's heart disease crisis? Hypertension remains a big reason
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Scientists uncover cellular mechanism driving both rare childhood dementia and Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the University of California San Diego and their colleagues have identified a key cellular pathway that drives brain degeneration in both a rare childhood disorder and the far more common Alzheimer's disease.
Sleep could help identify people at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease at an earlier s
What if certain signs of the disease were to manifest subtly during sleep, long before the first memory problems appear? This is the line of inquiry being explored by a team of researchers at ULiège.
A broader panel of protein markers could lead to better blood tests for Alzheimer's
In Alzheimer's disease, amyloid plaques form in the brain, followed by threadlike structures made of the protein tau.
MRI model reveals microstructural brain changes linked to Huntington's disease
Researchers have shown that an imaging model can detect microstructural abnormalities in the brain associated with Huntington's disease, potentially offering a new method for monitoring disease progression and evaluating new treatments.
Detection of optic nerve inflammation enables earlier multiple sclerosis diagnoses
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system.
New math model sheds light on multiple sclerosis relapse and recovery cycles
A new mathematical model that reproduces the relapsing-remitting pattern of multiple sclerosis (MS) offers scientists a tool to better understand how the disease progresses.
A vital part of chronic disease prevention
Adults who do both aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercises are less likely to develop a raft of chronic diseases, researchers have found.
Abdominal fat predicts heart disease risk better than BMI, study shows
The size of a person's midsection is a better indicator of cardiovascular disease risk than body mass index (BMI) alone, according to a study published in JACC.
