Published today in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, the study found that one dose of ketamine not only reduced the severity of […]
Researchers at the Genomics and Health Department at the Foundation for the Promotion of Health and Biomedical Research of Valencia Region—FISABIO) have published an article in Nature Communications presenting the bioinformation tool AGREDA, a system for developing personalized nutrition programs that accounts for the composition of each individual’s microbiota. The study included the participation of […]
A two-week course of high doses of CBD helps restore the function of two proteins key to reducing the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaque, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease, and improves cognition in an experimental model of early onset familial Alzheimer’s, investigators report. The proteins TREM2 and IL-33 are important to the ability of the brain’s […]
Prof. Euisik Yoon’s research group has developed a new, faster method to identify cancer stem-like cells (CSCs), which could help improve the effectiveness of cancer treatments. CSCs can seed and develop tumors in metastatic sites, causing cancer to relapse in patients after treatment. They are also generally resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, so therapeutics that […]
People with psychiatric disorders may want to pass on the joint—at least until further research is done, a new Australian study suggests. The paper, published Monday in The Lancet Psychiatry, looked at 83 previous studies conducted over almost four decades on medical cannabinoids, including products from the cannabis plant, such as leaves, buds and oils.

Cutting off and then restoring blood supply to a limb following a stroke reduces tissue damage and swelling and improves functional recovery, according to a new study in mice published in JNeurosci. The simple, noninvasive technique could be developed into a treatment for stroke patients of varying severity. Remote ischemic limb conditioning utilizes a blood […]
The majority of women who undergo surgery for suspected ovarian cancer do not have cancer.

By studying the effect of genetic variations on lifespan across the human genome, researchers have devised a way to estimate whether an individual can expect to live longer or shorter than average, and have advanced scientific understanding of the diseases and cellular pathways involved in aging. Their findings were presented at the American Society of […]
Thermal imaging can better predict a diabetes related foot ulcer’s size and the healing trajectory than conventional methods, Melbourne-led research has found. It could also possibly save money through better targeted treatment. The study, which was the first of its kind, was a collaboration between RMIT University, the University of Melbourne and Austin Health. It […]
