  • Putting a lid on excess cholesterol to halt bladder cancer cell growth
    Researchers discover novel targets for bladder cancer therapeutics and demonstrate that a new combination of existing drugs, including statins, blocks tumor growth in mice.
  • Researchers invent soft, bioelectronic sensor implant
    Scientists describe their construction of complementary, internal, ion-gated, organic electrochemical transistors that are more amenable chemically, biologically and electronically to living tissues than rigid, silicon-based technologies. The medical device based on these transistors can function in sensitive parts of the body and conform to organ structures even as they grow. The result is a biocompatible […]
  • Yes, college students gain holiday weight too — but in the form of muscle not fat
    A new study from an obesity researcher reveals that college students and older adults gain holiday weight just in different ways.
  • Gene editing extends lifespan in mouse model of prion disease
    Researchers have developed a gene-editing treatment for prion disease that extends lifespan by about 50 percent in a mouse model of the fatal neurodegenerative condition. The treatment, which uses base editing to make a single-letter change in DNA, reduced levels of the disease-causing prion protein in the brain by as much as 60 percent. The […]
  • Saliva activates coagulation in persons with hemophilia A
    A recent study provides new insights into the mechanisms of coagulation in persons with haemophilia A, the most common form of haemophilia. The research team was able to show that saliva contains special vesicles that trigger rapid coagulation of the blood of haemophilic patients.
  • Hearing impairment may be a sign of increased risk of Parkinson's disease
    There may be a link between hearing impairment and an increased risk of developing Parkinson's according to new research. This is one of the first studies to examine whether sensory impairments, such as hearing loss, might increase the risk for Parkinson's or serve as an early warning sign. Parkinson's UK reports that an estimated 153,000 […]
