In the study, published Aug. 21 in Nature, the scientists used advanced microscopy techniques to image the Piezo1 protein at rest and during the application of…
The 2 ½ -year study, conducted by the PRECISION Pain Research Registry and TCOM's John Licciardone, DO, MS, MBA, reaffirmed the importance of empathy and…
Usually, a drug is administered indiscriminately and most of it does not reach the diseased tissues. The goal of precision medicine is to increase the efficacy…
Stem cells hold the key to wound healing, as they develop into specialised cell types throughout the body – including in teeth.
When exactly does the brain “remember” a newly learned motor sequence? Previously, it was assumed that the stabilization of learned motor processes does not…
The major criterion for excitatory synapse selection is based on how well they engage in response to experience-driven neural activity, but how such selection…
Working with mouse and human tissue, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers report new evidence that a protein pumped out of some — but not all — populations of…
Scientists at Duke University have identified one kind of lung cell that can hustle to repair its damaged DNA and survive an attack of the influenza A virus…
Our eyes — the windows to the soul — need constant care, and as we age, they sometimes also need significant repair.
First impressions are important – they can set the stage for the entire course of a relationship. The same is true for the impressions the cells of our immune…
The new assay, called CompCyst, outperformed the current gold standard-of-care in an international, multicenter study of 875 patients. Crucially, the test…
Researchers at the University of Sussex have identified how differences in the genetic sequence of the two main strains of the cancer-associated Epstein-Barr…
A research team headed by scientists at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research at UC San Diego has…
The way we make decisions shapes the way we experience the environment. As a result, our brain activity reflects not only our sensory experiences, but also our…
The emerging field of synthetic biology–designing new biological components and systems–is revolutionizing medicine. Through the genetic programming of…
