Scientists have uncovered a critical link between the overconsumption of red meat and an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Their findings pave the way for new therapeutic approaches targeting telomerase, an enzyme implicated in cancer progression. Scientists at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) along with collaborators from the National Cancer Centre Singapore

More than half of the risk for mental disorders can be attributed to environmental factors such as socioeconomic status, urbanicity, pollution, and climate. Scientists are trying to characterize the impact of these factors on mental health and develop new ways to reduce the burden. This requires collecting and combining large datasets of different types.

Using computational tools, researchers have developed a method to assess which patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer could benefit from immunotherapy. Using computational tools, researchers from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have developed a method to assess which patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer could benefit

A new study has lifted the lid on how couples living with rheumatoid arthritis cope with the debilitating disease finding that those who cope with problems together had less psychological distress and better relationships. An Australian-first study has lifted the lid on how couples living with rheumatoid arthritis cope with the debilitating disease finding that

A research team has developed a deep skin-stimulating LED mask which has been verified in clinical trials to improve dermis elasticity by 340%. A KAIST research team led by Professor Keon Jae Lee has developed a deep skin-stimulating LED mask which has been verified in clinical trials to improve dermis elasticity by 340%. Conventional LED

A study developed a new technique to accurately analyse the properties of cancer cells and the surrounding tissue at the level of individual cells. This innovation enables a more comprehensive assessment of prognoses and treatment responses in the head and neck cancers, and paves the way for more accurate diagnostics. Squamous cell carcinoma of the

A new study has now found that more than half -- 56% -- of the heat-related deaths in the summer of 2022 were related to human-induced climate change. According to the research, 38,154 of the 68,593 heat-related deaths in the summer of 2022 would likely not have occurred without anthropogenic warming. The unprecedented temperatures in

Researchers reveal a link between olfactory loss and inflammation in 139 medical conditions. The researchers say loss of smell is an early sign of numerous neurological and bodily diseases. Researchers from the Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences, in collaboration with The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities, reveal a powerful link between olfactory loss

A study reveals patients and providers have more positive overall care experiences when the entire healthcare team is a part of bedside interdisciplinary rounds (BIDR). A study led by researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus reveals patients and providers have more positive overall care experiences when the entire healthcare team is a

A range of different age checks are needed to protect children -- but also to ensure they can take advantages of positive opportunities online -- a new study says.

Our ability to see starts with the light-sensitive photoreceptor cells in our eyes. A specific region of the retina, termed fovea, is responsible for sharp vision. Here, the color-sensitive cone photoreceptors allow us to detect even the smallest details. The density of these cells varies from person to person. Additionally, when we fixate on an

Propofol is used in the operating room to induce anesthesia. To maintain anesthesia, a continuous infusion of the agent via a separate syringe pump is the standard procedure for total intravenous anesthesia. However, this is not entirely sustainable: propofol produces about 45 percent of the drug waste in the operating room, and a quarter of
