These symptoms result from persistently inflamed nose and sinuses, a condition known as chronic rhinitis. Called ClariFix, the treatment is a form of […]
In an effort to help protect children from intergenerational vulnerabilities associated with parental trauma and stress, researchers at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Emory University, have shown for the first time in an animal model it is possible to reverse influences of parental stress by exposing parents to behavioral interventions following their own exposure […]
New information from the University at Buffalo on how manganese, an essential nutrient, gets into the brain, is helping shed light on a neurological disorder usually associated with industrial overexposure to the metal. In June, Brittany Steimle, a doctoral candidate in biochemistry at UB, received the award for outstanding poster for her presentation on how […]
Scientists are edging closer to defeating a longtime enemy of human health: haemophilia, the inability to form blood clots. After trying for decades to develop a gene therapy to treat this disease, researchers are starting to succeed. In recent experiments, brief intravenous infusions of powerful new treatments have rid patients – for now, at least […]
An international team of researchers has found that a single sleepless night can alter metabolic processes leading to weight gain and lack of muscle maintenance. In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, the team describes their study of the impact of a sleepless night on several volunteers. Prior research has shown that interfering […]
New research examining the brains and vocal repertoires of primates offers important insight into the evolution of human speech. The vocal tract and larynx is similar in form and function amongst virtually all terrestrial mammals, including humans. However, relative to humans, non-human primates produce an extremely limited range of vocalisations. Published in the journal Frontiers […]
THURSDAY, July 26 — There have been many setbacks on the long road to finding a treatment that might slow or stop Alzheimer’s disease, but a new trial offers a glimmer of hope. Researchers report that an experimental drug called BAN2401 slowed mental decline by as much as 30 percent in Alzheimer’s patients. It also […]
