Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the leading causes of global cancer-related deaths among men. While a standard systemic therapy called “androgen deprivation therapy” (ADT) is widely administered to reduce the level of androgen—the male hormone responsible for the development of PC— in the body by surgical or chemical castration, […]
Scientists are developing an app that uses AI to diagnose what disease a person has by listening to their cough Researchers have been recording millions of coughs on smartphone apps and training AI to identify what disease or condition someone one They say the AI may be able to pick up […]
University of Minnesota researchers have developed a novel virus-like particle vaccine against COVID-19. Having been successfully tested in animals, the novel vaccine—created as part of a study whose findings were recently published in the scientific journal PLOS Pathogens—offers a new approach in the global battle against COVID-19 and its emerging […]
Stanford scientists are creating a ‘superhero’ vaccine based on DNA of Olympic athletes which could protect people against leading causes of death such as heart disease and Alzheimer’s Stanford scientists are developing a ‘superhero’ vaccine could help prevent death from leading causes of deaths like heart disease and Alzheimer’s It […]
Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) have determined how certain short protein fragments, called peptides, can protect neuronal cells found in the light-sensing retina layer at the back of the eye. The peptides might someday be used to treat degenerative retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The […]
The theory that COVID-19 might be the result of scientific experiments has thrown a spotlight on the work of the world’s most secure biolabs. While the evidence linking SARS-CoV-2 to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China is strictly circumstantial, a number of experts want tougher controls on such facilities […]
Alzheimer’s disease shares some key similarities with healthy aging, according to a new mathematical model described today in eLife. The model provides unique insights into the multiscale biological alterations in the elderly and neurodegenerative brain, with important implications for identifying future treatment targets for Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers developed their mathematical […]
Critics blast CDC for using misleading information Harvard Medical School’s Dr. Martin Kulldorff weighs in on ‘Fox and Friends First.’ NEW DELHI – A potentially worrisome variant of the coronavirus detected in India may spread more easily. But the country is behind in doing the kind of testing needed to […]
It is very difficult to diagnose cancer at an early stage, although it is very much desirable, due to lengthy diagnostic procedures and inability of patients to recognize the early warning signs. Early diagnosis of cancer allows patients to seek medical care, which is most effective while the cancer is […]
Researchers from Imperial are working with Transport for London to regularly test the city’s transport network for the virus which causes COVID-19. Scientists from Imperial College London’s Environmental Research Group and the Barclay Laboratory conduct monthly sampling on the Tube and bus network and analyze for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. So […]
