Researchers explored the biological mechanisms by which exercise-induced irisin attenuates amyloid-beta pathology in Alzheimer’s disease.

Human immune cells are capable of coordinating their own movement more independently than previously thought. InFLAMES researcher Jonna Alanko has discovered that immune cells do not just passively follow the chemical cues in their environment.

New research in the Virology Journal suggests that chickens could become intermediate hosts for newly emerged SARS-CoV-2 variants, posing a potential threat to public health. The study identifies AXL and ACE2 receptors in chickens as likely binding sites for the virus, highlighting the need for further research and preventive measures.

The effects of an extract of yellow petals of Dahlia pinnata as a novel treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D).

The study reveals that oral semaglutide, a medication primarily used for type 2 diabetes, effectively reduces body weight and blood glucose levels in diet-induced obese mice. The findings suggest that this drug could be a promising treatment for obesity and offer a suitable animal model for future research.

Dementia is a group of brain diseases that share similar symptoms, such as memory, language, orientation, and behavioral issues. Vascular dementia generally develops in the elderly, affecting between 1% and 4% of people over the age of 65, according to Alzheimer's Switzerland.

Whether regular distribution of two intravenous or intramuscular administrations of low-dose naloxone was effective and adequate in reversing opioid overdoses.

A new cancer therapy developed by Purdue University researchers attacks tumors by tricking cancer cells into absorbing a snippet of RNA that naturally blocks cell division.

Researchers characterized two novel SARS-CoV-2 XBB variants, EG.5.1 and XBB.2.3.

When fighting disease, our immune cells need to reach their target quickly. Researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) now discovered that immune cells actively generate their own guidance system to navigate through complex environments.
