| Arginine, an inexpensive oral drug, could enhance radiation therapy for cancer Posted: 06 Nov 2021 09:58 AM PDT Treatment with arginine, one of the amino-acid building blocks of proteins, enhanced the effectiveness of radiation therapy in cancer patients with brain metastases, in a proof-of-concept, randomized clinical trial. |
| Researchers investigate role of gene associated with Alzheimer’s disease in brain’s immune cells Posted: 06 Nov 2021 09:58 AM PDT When immune cells move throughout the brain, they act as the first line of defense against viruses, toxic materials and damaged neurons, rushing over to clear out them. Researchers have been investigating how these immune cells in the brain -- microglia -- relate to a gene mutation recently found in Alzheimer's disease patients. |
| 'Mirror nuclei' to probe fundamental physics of atoms and neutron stars Posted: 06 Nov 2021 09:58 AM PDT About 20 years ago, a physicist had an idea to reveal insights about a fundamental but enigmatic force at work in some of the most extreme environments in the universe. These environments include an atom's nucleus and celestial bodies known as neutron stars, both of which are among the densest objects known to humanity. For comparison, matching the density of a neutron star would require squeezing all the Earth's mass into a space about the size of a stadium. |
| When bad things happen in childhood, what's the toll on your health? Posted: 05 Nov 2021 07:37 AM PDT New research shows the lifelong toll that adverse events in childhood can take on your health. |
| Pathomechanisms in heart disease discovered Posted: 05 Nov 2021 07:37 AM PDT The largest protein in the human body, titin, enables elastic movements of our muscles, including the heart. Mutations in the titin gene (TTN) that impair this function and lead to heart muscle disease. The pathomechanisms behind this -- i.e. why TTN mutations trigger disease -- were unclear until now. A team of experts has now investigated these pathomechanisms in more detail and has gained ground-breaking insights. |
| Vibration training for multiple sclerosis Posted: 04 Nov 2021 11:01 AM PDT Researchers worked to determine whether vibration training -- an intervention used to improve physical function for people with multiple sclerosis -- could also improve patients' cognitive function and quality of life. |
