Research reveals links between personality traits (extraversion, agreeableness) and prosocial behaviors like volunteering and charitable giving. Tailored approaches can encourage community contribution.
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.
