New drug shows promise for treatment of cancer and other diseases
In the study, a group of lab mice that had consumed a diet that included the HM-10/10 peptide was found to have a significantly lower tumor load than mice that had not eaten the peptide.
Right Place, Right Time
Harvard researchers have discovered a new mechanism for how the brain and its arteries communicate to supply blood to areas of heightened neural activity. The findings enable new avenues of study into the role of this process in neurological diseases.
Researcher’s technology differentiates between Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy
Scientists have found a way to distinguish between two progressive neurodegenerative diseases, Parkinson’s disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA), using a technology developed by a researcher at UTHealth. The discovery was published today in Nature.
AI-analyzed blood test can predict the progression of neurodegenerative disease
Evaluating the effectiveness of therapies for neurodegenerative diseases is often difficult because each patient’s progression is different. A new study shows artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of blood samples can predict and explain disease progression, which could one day help doctors choose more appropriate and effective treatments for patients.
Hot flashes impair memory performance
If you’re having difficulty identifying the right word to express yourself clearly or remembering a story correctly, you may blame menopause.
Effort to Examine Alzheimer’s Impact on Pain Processing
A new multisite study funded by the National Institute on Aging will examine whether co-occurring Alzheimer’s disease and stage 4 breast or prostate cancer alters pain perception, potentially leading to undertreated cancer pain.
