Heart failure can increase cancer risk A study in more than 200,000 individuals has found that patients with heart failure are more likely to develop cancer compared to their peers without heart failure. The research is presented today at Heart Failure 2021, an online scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), 1 and published in 2 This was an observational study and the results do not prove that heart failure causes cancer. However, the findings do suggest that heart fail...

Preclinical trials of a new radiopharmaceutical to treat ovarian cancer have produced successful results, dramatically limiting tumor growth and decreasing tumor mass.

People who use methamphetamine are more likely to have health conditions, mental illness, and substance use disorders than people who do not use the drug, accor

RNA sequencing is a powerful technology for studying cells and diseases. In particular, single-cell RNA sequencing helps uncover the heterogeneity and diversity of our body.

When San Francisco voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure banning the sale of flavored tobacco products in 2018, public health advocates celebrated. After all, tobacco use poses a significant threat to public health and health equity, and flavors are particularly attractive to youth.

Individuals with genetic high cholesterol, heart disease or both, who were infected with COVID-19 had more heart attacks according to new research by the FH Foundation.

Combining biochemical and topographical cues improves quality of skeletal muscle regeneration When trauma, illness, or injury causes significant muscle loss, reconstructive procedures for bioengineering functional skeletal muscles can fall short, resulting in permanent impairments. Finding a synergy in the importance of biochemical signals and topographical cues, researchers from Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Sungkyunkwan University, and Chonnam National University developed ...

Two-Luminogen Hydrogel Chemosensor Detects Seafood Freshness by Changing Color Written by AZoMMay 7 2021 A team of researchers from Germany and China has developed a novel artificial color-changing material that imitates the skin of a chameleon, through luminogens (molecules that cause crystals to glow) arranged into different core and shell layers of hydrogels rather than a single uniform matrix. This image shows the color change of the “chameleon skin” hydrogel-based chemosensor in respon...

Unique system detects small changes in DNA structures Small changes in the structure of DNA have been implicated in breast cancer and other diseases, but theyve been extremely difficult to detect -- until now. Using what they describe as a "chemical nose," UC Riverside chemists are able to "smell" when bits of DNA are folded in unusual ways. Their work designing and demonstrating this system has been published in the journal Nature Chemistry. If a DNA sequence is folded, it could prevent the t...

Friendly gut bacteria emerged as an invaluable ally in the battle against malnutrition Treating malnutrition by boosting gut microbes produces better results than traditional nutritional supplements. Friendly gut bacteria have emerged as an invaluable ally in the war against malnutrition after a research study in Bangladesh showed that bacteria-targeting food supplements were more effective than standard nutritional supplements in improving the health of undernourished children. The supplement ...
