In a randomized clinical trial, giving the clot-busting medication alteplase up to 24 hours after stroke symptoms first appeared increased the odds of better recovery by 50% compared to those who received standard antiplatelet treatment. The clot-dissolving medication, alteplase, improved stroke patients' recovery by more than 50% when given up to 24 hours after the
Mitochondria are essential for generating energy that fuels cells and helps them function. Mitochondria are essential for generating energy that fuels cells and helps them function. Mitochondrial defects, however, are associated with the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Patients who suffer from this disorder are unable to produce enough insulin or use

Scientists have identified genetic components in bats that provide insight into their immune systems. Five years removed from the COVID-19 outbreak, scientists around the world are still studying its effects and, more importantly, ways those effects can be mitigated in the future. An international team of researchers may have just found a critical clue in

Women who have experienced pregnancy complications have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Now, a new study shows that sisters of women with complicated pregnancies are also at higher risk, even if they had uncomplicated pregnancies. The findings suggest that genes and shared environmental factors may influence the association between pregnancy complications and cardiovascular disease
Pancreatic cancer patients may benefit from future precision treatments as a new study shows how some tumors may potentially be more susceptible to macrophage-based therapies, and clues behind why these tumors don't respond to existing immunotherapies. Pancreatic cancer patients may benefit from future precision treatments as a new study shows how some tumours may potentially
Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers found that the neuronal energy conservation program determines the location and number of messenger RNA (mRNA) and proteins, and differs depending on the length, longevity and other properties of the respective molecule. Nerve cells have amazing strategies
The largest study to date to analyse millions of both genetic and patient records on the long-term health conditions of later life has identified opportunities for new ways to prevent and treat multiple overlapping conditions.

Living in a disadvantaged community may decrease the length of time a person can survive with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, by over 30%, a study suggests. Similar studies have shown that living in resource-deprived areas is associated with a higher burden of Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias. Living in a disadvantaged community may decrease
A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a basic requirement for producing proteins that fulfill an organism's vital functions. Researchers have succeeded for the first time in depicting a faultily 'blocked' spliceosome at high
Collagen, the body's most abundant protein, has long been viewed as a predictable structural component of tissues. However, a new study challenges that notion, revealing an unexpected confirmation in collagen structure that could reshape biomedical research. Collagen, the body's most abundant protein, has long been viewed as a predictable structural component of tissues. However, a
Researchers analyzed cannabis smoking practices to assess whether in-home smoking was associated with cannabis detection in children. Researchers at University of California San Diego analyzed cannabis smoking practices in San Diego County to assess whether in-home smoking was associated with cannabis detection in children.
