Highly localized TB strains are less infectious in cosmopolitan cities and more likely to infect people from the geographic area that is the strain's natural habitat. The research provides the first controlled evidence that TB strains may evolve with their human hosts, adapting to be more infectious to specific populations. The findings offer new clues
A new small study has revealed the impact of obesity on muscle structure in patients having a form of heart failure called heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). A new small study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers and published July 25th in the journal Nature Cardiovascular Research has revealed the impact of

Strokes lead to irreversible damage to the brain and are one of the most common causes of dependency or death. As the cellular reactions to a cerebral infarction are not yet fully understood, there is a lack of possible approaches to promote the regeneration of damaged nerve tissue in the brain. A new study closes

Researchers determined the Foxp3 protein is actually a cofactor, hijacking DNA-binding proteins responding to the immunological environment of the T cell. Based on the type of response needed, different factors are expressed, which is the driving force for Foxp3 to suppress an immune response. The protein Foxp3 is vital to the function of immune cells
What happens when measles virus meets a human cell? The viral machinery unfolds in just the right way to reveal key pieces that let it fuse itself into the host cell membrane.

Dementia risk factors associated with cardiovascular health may have increased over time compared to factors such as smoking and having less education, finds a new study. Dementia risk factors associated with cardiovascular health may have increased over time compared to factors such as smoking and having less education, finds a new study led by UCL
Children who are not considered 'school ready' by their teachers are more than twice as likely to become persistently absent at some point in their education, according to a new study.

Moderate levels of physical activity and fitness may be linked to a reduced risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) later in life, according to a new study. The study only found an association between physical activity and risk of ALS in male participants, not female participants. Moderate levels of physical activity and fitness may be
While the liver is one of the body's most resilient organs, it is still vulnerable to the ravages of stress and aging, leading to disease, severe scarring and failure. A research team now might have found a way to turn back time and restore the liver. In experiments using mice and liver tissue from humans
Neuroscientists have discovered how the brain bidirectionally controls sensitivity to threats to initiate and complete escape behaviour in mice. These findings could help unlock new directions for discovering therapies for anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Evolved a multi-step process to prevent the harmful build-up of calcium in the heart, a new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, UCLA Health, and the University of Texas at Austin reveals. This groundbreaking research provides a comprehensive understanding of how the body defends against the stiffening of heart tissues, offering key insights into preventing and treating heart disease. With its detailed documentation and unique findings, this study sheds light on the pivotal mechanisms that safeguard against calcium deposition, providing a crucial foundation for future advancements in cardiovascular health
Its potential to infect people and other animals. This poses a significant public health concern and highlights the need for strict biosecurity measures in dairy farming. Understanding the stability of the virus in milk and on equipment is crucial for preventing future outbreaks and protecting human and animal health
Tailor treatments to individual patients. This groundbreaking technology offers the potential for more accurate and convenient blood pressure monitoring, revolutionizing the way healthcare professionals assess and manage cardiovascular health. With its non-invasive approach and ability to provide a wealth of data, this device has the potential to greatly benefit patients and revolutionize how blood pressure is monitored and managed
