UC Berkeley researchers created 'Oz,' a laser system that manipulates photoreceptors to reveal a new, ultra-saturated green color ('olo') and explore human color vision. System allows stimulating S, M, and L cone cells.
New study shows smoothed charts help physicians better manage hypertension by visualizing blood pressure data, reducing over-treatment & improving accuracy compared to raw graphs. Visual tools improve context for health data.
Research shows ATP, the cell's 'fuel', unexpectedly impacts neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's & Parkinson's. ATP controls protein solubility and viscosity, preventing harmful protein aggregation. Increasing ATP may help.
Research suggests Lyme's unique peptidoglycan lingers post-treatment, triggering chronic inflammation and long-term effects. Understanding individual immune responses is crucial for better therapies. Long COVID link explored.
Research reveals immune system over-activation in spastic paraplegia type 15. Microglia changes and killer T-cells contribute to neuronal damage, suggesting potential immune-based therapies for this neurodegenerative disease.
Research shows fear of vision loss can deter patients from cataract surgery, despite it being the only effective treatment. Doctor-patient trust is crucial for medical decisions. Highlights communication importance.
Research shows moderate alcohol, Mediterranean diet, strong purpose, and managing risk factors like blood pressure & stress may benefit brain health and reduce dementia, stroke, and depression risks.
Researchers developed a metal-free, blue light method using modified carbohydrates (thiosugars) to combat antibiotic-resistant infections, cancer, and gram-negative pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This advance enhances drug delivery and reduces toxicity.
Research reveals high-fat, high-sugar diets impair spatial navigation and memory by impacting the hippocampus, linking diet to cognitive decline. Nutritional changes can improve brain health.
RFK Jr.'s HHS role faces challenges: balancing Trump's priorities with his MAHA agenda, vaccine skepticism, & internal conflicts. Key issues: COVID vaccines, fluoride, & seed oils. Vaccine misinformation.
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) revolutionizes medicine but faces cyber threats. Study highlights potential for data breaches, demanding enhanced biosecurity and interdisciplinary collaboration to protect genomic info.
Discover how myofunctional therapy can alleviate sleep apnea symptoms by retraining face, throat, and tongue muscles, reducing airway obstruction and improving nighttime rest. Learn about exercises and professional help.
