Life Sciences Study explores how traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be linked to Alzheimer’s disease Each year, about 2.5 million people suffer from traumatic brain injuries (TBI), which often increases their risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease later in life. Researchers led by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine used mouse models and human post-mortem brain tissue to study the molecular underpinnings that may increase the […] Written by Admin October 17, 2024October 17, 2024 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Sciences Researchers are closing in on a mouse model for late-onset Alzheimer’s Mice don’t get Alzheimer’s — and while that’s good news for mice, it’s a big problem for biomedical researchers seeking to understand the disease and test new treatments. Now, researchers at The Jackson Laboratory are working to create the first strain of mice that’s genetically susceptible to late-onset Alzheimer’s, with potentially transformative implications for dementia […] Written by Admin July 25, 2024July 25, 2024 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Sciences Scientists discover links between Alzheimer’s disease and gut microbiota Researchers have discovered the link between the gut microbiota and Alzheimer’s disease. For the first time, researchers have found that Alzheimer’s symptoms can be transferred to a healthy young organism via the gut microbiota, confirming its role in the disease. The research was led by Professor Yvonne Nolan, APC Microbiome Ireland, a world leading SFI […] Written by Admin October 19, 2023October 19, 2023 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Scientists capture flu viruses surfing into human cells in real time Fever, aching limbs and a runny nose — as winter returns, so too does the flu. The disease is triggered by influenza viruses, which enter our body through droplets and then infect vulnerable cells. A research team from Switzerland and Japan has taken an exceptionally close look at how this virus behaves. Using a microscopy […] Written by Admin December 6, 2025December 6, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Hornet-eating frog shows remarkable venom resistance A frog with an unexpectedly strong resistance to venom has been identified, and it routinely eats hornets despite the insects’ dangerous stingers. Researchers believe this species may become a useful model organism for exploring how animals develop tolerance to venom. For many people, even glimpsing a hornet’s stinger is enough to cause alarm. Yet certain […] Written by Admin December 5, 2025December 5, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
