Rocket in his new home. Animals predisposed to genetic problems often have inherent health challenges. For three Shar-Peis treated at the ASPCA during the COVID-19 pandemic, severe neglect by their former owner only exacerbated their existing genetic issues. The ASPCA was contacted by Animal Care Centers (ACC) of NYC about two of their animals in […]

The COVID-19 vaccines — designed using bits of genetic information that prime our immune systems to recognize and fight off viral infections — have become lifesavers in the global fight to end the pandemic. Now, new research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has shown that a similar vaccine approach can be […]
Intestinal epithelial tight junctions (TJs) act as a functional and structural barrier against harmful antigens that promote intestinal inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other inflammatory conditions of the gut. A defective intestinal TJ barrier, sometimes known as “leaky gut,” plays an important role in exacerbating and prolonging intestinal inflammation. New research reported in […]

ACM Awards 2021: Full List of Nominees and Winners After taking home the trophy for Female Artist of the Year at the ACM Awards on Sunday, April 18, […]
Rare diseases are sometimes the most difficult to treat because of a lack of research and fewer participants to study. An example would be those who have Pompe disease, a genetic condition when a body can’t make a protein that breaks down a complex sugar, called glycogen, for energy. Too much glycogen builds up and […]
Reimbursement for hospital charges is increasing faster than payments for surgeons performing hip fracture surgeries on Medicare beneficiaries, according to a study published online March 9 in the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma. Dennis Q. Chen, M.D., from the University of Virginia Health System in Charlottesville, and colleagues evaluated trends and variations in hospital charges and […]
Current labeling regulations and practices fail to give parents and caregivers adequate information, and likely contribute to widespread consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks by young children, according to a new paper from researchers at the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at the University of Connecticut and School of Global Public Health at New York […]
