Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have found that changing the timing of fertility drugs to match the follicle maturity period significantly increases the number of ovulated oocytes—the cells that develop into eggs—during artificial fertiliz…
The question of how far life expectancy will rise in the future is a highly controversial topic among scientists. From today’s perspective, life expectancy rose at an almost dizzying rate at the beginning of the 20th century. People born in 1900 lived …
An estimated 50 million people worldwide have dementia, with Alzheimer’s disease—accounting for more than 70%—being the representative neurodegenerative brain disorder. A Korean research team has, for the first time, identified at the molecular level t…
A cardiac device trial published in eClinicalMedicine shows that improving enrollment of females in such trials can better guide care for all patients.
A research team at Kyoto University has discovered STAG3-cohesin, a new mitotic cohesin complex that helps establish the unique DNA architecture of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), the stem cells that give rise to sperm. This “DNA organizer” is crucia…
Understanding how fat molecules are distributed and function in living organisms is key to uncovering mechanisms of aging, disease, and metabolism. Caenorhabditis elegans, a transparent roundworm, is a widely used model for studying fat storage due to …
Offering a modest gift card significantly increased enrollment of low-income individuals in a patient registry designed to accelerate Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials, a new USC study published in JAMA Health Forum finds.
Cardiovascular researchers at UC Davis Health have developed a novel technique that allows scientists to study how the brain communicates with other organs, like the heart or gut. The new method preserves the brain tissue in animal research while simul…
A research team led by Prof. Chen Chang from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. Huang Zhangjian of China Pharmaceutical University, has uncovered a previously unknown molecular mechanism essentia…
If it takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a village to care for children’s food needs.
