Transmission electron micrograph of HIV-1 virus particles (red) budding and replicating from a segment of a chronically infected H9 cell (blue). Particles are in various…
New research shows that reducing dietary sodium significantly lowers blood pressure in individuals, regardless of whether they have hypertension or are on medication. The study,…
Researchers funded by the NIH revealed that high blood pressure leads to increased interleukin-17 in the brain, activating immune cells and causing cognitive decline. This…
Researchers have created the first comprehensive cell atlas of a mammalian brain, mapping over 32 million cells in the mouse brain. This atlas, part of…
A Harvard Medical School study found a sharp increase in U.S. youth visiting emergency departments for mental health crises during COVID-19’s second year. The study…
Research funded by the NIH demonstrates that insufficient sleep heightens insulin resistance in women, especially postmenopausal women, potentially increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes.…
A study by NIH researchers has revealed that heart PET scans can predict the likelihood of developing Parkinson’s disease or Lewy body dementia. By analyzing…
New research shows that the “salience network” in the brain is activated by intravenous drug administration but not by oral intake, offering insights into why…
In a recent publication, Anthony Fauci reviews the successes and failures in managing the COVID-19 pandemic, advocating for sustained preparedness to avoid future health crises.…
Extreme heat-related cardiovascular deaths in the U.S. are predicted to rise between 2036 and 2065. The study, supported by the National Institutes of Health, attributes…
Researchers have mapped the genetic and cellular makeup of human and nonhuman primate brains, providing deeper insights into brain functions and potential treatments for disorders.…
Two DBS leads implanted into the subcallosal cingulate cortex, with nerve fibers extending into other brain regions. Brain activity signatures or biomarkers can help scientists…
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have shown high efficacy in detecting and diagnosing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a prevalent hormone disorder in women,…
