An international team of researchers has developed a method for altering one class of antibiotics, using microscopic organisms that produce these compounds naturally. The findings, menosan himalaya en espa ol published July 25 in Nature Chemistry, could lead to more efficient production of antibiotics that are effective against drug-resistant bacteria. The team started with a microorganism that is genetically programmed […]

Prehistoric people in Europe were consuming milk thousands of years before humans evolved the genetic trait allowing us to digest the milk sugar lactose as adults, finds a new study. The research, published in Nature, prednisone e prednisolone differenze mapped pre-historic patterns of milk use over the last 9,000 years, offering new insights into milk consumption and the evolution of […]

The research group led by immunologists Vigo Heissmeyer and Taku Ito-Kureha of LMU and Helmholtz Munich has revealed the essential function of m6A modifications in T cells. The chemical modification of nucleic acids, methylation, exists not only on DNA but also on RNA. Whether this methylation is important for certain cell types and what effects it has on the interaction […]

The Family Heart Foundation, a leading research and advocacy organization, celebrex online prescription prescription vioxx zy completed an analysis of its large U.S. Family Heart Database showing that while the percentage of patients diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) has increased substantially since 2016, most remain undiagnosed. The data is being presented in a poster titled, “Diagnosis of Familial Hypercholesterolemia: A […]

University of Arizona researchers have developed a new class of drugs that is able to cross the blood-brain barrier and could be used to treat degenerative neurological diseases and conditions. “Francis Bacon said it best when he wrote, ‘Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed, cipro and breastfeeding aap ‘” said Robin Polt, co-inventor of the new drug technology and […]

A genetic risk for heart disease is far less predictive of problems than actual lifestyle risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes — even among younger adults. In a finding published July 26 in the journal Circulation, researchers led by a team at Duke AI Health found that genetic tests do little to accurately identify cardiovascular […]

Losing a spouse can be a devastating experience for anyone. A new study found that experiencing the death of a spouse due to COVID-19 may be worse for mental health than deaths from other causes. Penn State researchers found that while there were strong associations between the recent death of a spouse and poorer mental health both before and during […]

University of Iowa researchers have confirmed in a new study that a specific region in the brain is critical to governing the mind’s communication with the body’s motor control system. The findings could yield advances in treatment for Parkinson’s disease, as declining motor coordination is a central symptom of the disorder. In experiments with humans, the researchers pinpointed the subthalamic […]

Expert warns that Covid-caused smell-loss is returning with BA.5 variant – but at home self-guided smell therapy could be the key to recovery The number of people losing their smell because of a COVID-19 infection is starting to rise again While smell loss was not a major problem early in Omicron’s rise, the BA.5 variant seems to be stealing people’s […]
