Experts predict that without intervention, the problem of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections could be catastrophic by 2050, killing nearly 10 million people each year. To seek solutions, the National Institutes of Health awarded a five-year, $1.8 million grant to Joseph Boll, assistant professor of biology at The University of Texas at Arlington, to identify and inhibit
This autumn the UK has had between 30,000 and 50,000 new COVID cases each day, and globally cases are rising again after months of steady decline—so much so that many countries are reintroducing measures to curb the virus.

When mice rest, individual neurons fire in seconds-long, coordinated cascades, triggering activity across the brain, according to research from Penn State and the National Institutes of Health. Previously, this was thought to be a relatively random process—single neurons firing spontaneously at random times without external stimulations. The finding, published Nov. 18 in the Proceedings of
Significant decreases in CT imaging for cancer persisted even after the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, delaying diagnosis and treatment and raising the possibility of more advanced cancers and poorer outcomes for patients in the future, according to a study being presented next week at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of
Virus recombination is a typical aspect of sarbecovirus evolution, in which genetic material from two genetically diverse parental lineages isis merged into a viable descendent virus genome. During the evolutionary history of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), genomic investigations reveal recombination events among coronaviruses circulating in non-human species occurred. During the coronavirus disease
Pregnant women at risk of miscarrying to be given hormone therapy on the NHS as research shows it could lead to 8,500 more births every year Women with a history of miscarriage and with vaginal bleeding are eligible These women will be given two doses of the hormone progesterone every day Study suggests it will increase
Even in the prime of our lives, while still healthy and clever, our brains may be secretly developing the deadly plaques and tangles of Alzheimer’s disease. The first sign of trouble is memory loss—and, by then, damage is done. But innovative new blood tests can now detect these hidden signs of disease, years before the
Women whose ovaries were surgically removed before the age of 46 had a higher risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) around 30 years later, compared with those who did not undergo bilateral oophorectomy, according to a population-based linkage study published in JAMA Network Open.

Expanding the use of short-acting opioids in situations where pain is not present, but where methadone or buprenorphine provide inadequate relief, may benefit hospitalized patients suffering from opioid withdrawal symptoms. While current U.S. guidelines do not recommend short-acting opioids for these patients, an expert commentary from the University of Toronto and Harvard Medical School suggests
Monash University researchers have expanded their knowledge of how T cells might recognize infections or disease, providing key insight into how an often-overlooked T cell lineage becomes activated when encountering pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and cancers. T cells communicate with other cells in the body in search of infections or diseases. This crosstalk relies
