Hunting fungi in the human body may offer a whole new method of early cancer detection, Israeli scientists suggest in new peer-reviewed research. Together with colleagues in the United States, they studied the tumors of 17,000 cancer patients to document, for the first time, which fungi live in the tissues. There has been very little …
Summary: Higher levels of inflammatory C-reactive protein have been found in older breast cancer survivors who had cognitive problems. The study is one of the first long-term assessments linking chronic inflammation to cognitive decline in breast cancer survivors. Source: UCLA Scientists are still trying to understand why many breast cancer survivors experience troubling cognitive issues …
Oxytocin, sometimes called the “love hormone”, can help heal broken hearts – literally. In a new study of zebrafish and human cells, scientists have found that the hormone made by the brain can help heart tissue regenerate after injury and, in theory, could one day be used in the treatment of heart disease. heart attacks, …

NASA and SpaceX agreed last week on an unfunded study to investigate the feasibility of boosting the Hubble Space Telescope, which is at risk of falling out of orbit within the next decade, into a higher orbit. SpaceX approached NASA earlier this year about the potential use of one of its Dragon spacecraft to move …

Based on an analysis of just under half a million records in the UK Biobank, people who drink two to three cups of coffee a day tend to live longer and have fewer diseases cardiovascular than those who abstain from drinking. While the research doesn’t claim that drinking more coffee adds years to your life, …

A new study published this week found that the second COVID-19 booster made available to American adults over 50 this year was highly effective in protecting nursing home residents from hospitalizations and deaths, although its ability to prevent infections is not as strong. The analysis, published in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Morbidity …

CNN — Drinking two to three cups a day of most types of coffee can protect you from cardiovascular disease and premature death, according to a new study. “The results suggest that light to moderate consumption of ground, instant and decaffeinated coffee should be considered part of a healthy lifestyle,” said study author Peter Kistler, …
Neural generation trajectories. Credit: BGI Genomics First-ever axolotl stereo-seq gives new insights into brain regeneration. Due to its distinctive and adorable look, the Ambystoma mexicanum axolotl is a popular pet. Unlike other metamorphosed salamanders, axolotls (pronounced ACK-suh-LAH-tuhl) never grow past their juvenile larval stage, a trait known as neoteny. It is also recognized for its …
