Senescent cells, which stop dividing under stress, are long- recognized drivers of multiple diseases of aging. Mouse studies have shown that targeted removal of these cells and the inflammatory factors they secrete, known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), has beneficial results on multiple organ systems and functions. Success in the laboratory has given rise to companies…
Certain infectious diseases, such as COVID or the flu, evolve constantly, shapeshifting just enough to outmaneuver our immune systems and reinfect us repeatedly. But subsequent…
Past neuroscience research has identified patterns in neural activity typically observed when humans are engaged in value-based decision-making. This is the process through which humans…
A key objective of several neuroscience studies is to understand and model how the dynamics of distinct populations of neurons give rise to specific human…
From 2011 to 2020, the Veterans Health Administration spent $78 billion to care for U.S. military veterans enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans, raising questions about…
A new study by researchers at the University of Arizona College of Medicine–Phoenix and the University of California Davis Health identified a new target for…
A high-fat diet can promote overweight and increase the risk of metabolic diseases, such as diabetes. In mice brains, this leads to measurable changes in…
A study by doctoral student Adriana Eugene and Distinguished Professor Luisa N. Borrell found that older adults who use electronic cigarettes had greater odds of…
A research team from the University of California, Irvine is the first to reveal that a molecule in the brain—ophthalmic acid—unexpectedly acts like a neurotransmitter…
A new study published in Cell Reports Medicine reveals critical insights into the role of gamma-delta T cells across 33 cancer types, shedding light on…
