Social media may heighten depression severity in youth

Research found a person's IQ during high school is predictive of alcohol consumption later in life

Patients with a common movement disorder known as essential tremor (ET) developed dementia at three times the rate of similarly aged people in the general population

Device keeps brain alive, functioning separate from body

Study looks at ties between anxiety and gut bacteria

AI can spot early signs of Alzheimer's in speech patterns

Healthy gut bacteria can help fight cancer in other parts of the body (Mar 2023, mice) Immune checkpoint blockade induces gut microbiota translocation that augments extraintestinal antitumor immunity

Scientists identify mechanism crucial for COVID-19 virus replication. Findings could lead to new treatment strategies.

Study confirms sarin nerve gas as cause of Gulf War illness

Active phase calorie restriction enhances longevity in mice

Scientists cured mouse models of diabetes by converting glucagon-producing cells into insulin producers instead through blocking cell receptors for glucagon, the counter-hormone to insulin

A protein, transthyretin (TTR), that wreaks havoc in the nerves and heart when it clumps together can prevent the formation of toxic protein clumps associated with Alzheimer's disease…

Fighting intestinal infections with the body's own endocannabinoids: Native chemicals similar to those found in cannabis can inhibit bacterial virulence, UTSW-led study suggests

"Reelin" in a new treatment for multiple sclerosis: In an animal model, decreasing the amount of a protein made in the liver significantly protected against development of the disease’s characteristic symptoms and promoted recovery in symptomatic animals…

New research that mapped brain changes after one year of aerobic workouts has uncovered a potentially critical process: Exercise boosts blood flow into two key regions of the brain associated with memory

Encouraging cardiomyocytes to consume glucose instead of fatty acids could help treat heart failure and allows treating a variety of conditions in which heart muscle becomes damaged…

Surgical (medical) masks are as effective as N95 respirators for flu and respiratory virus protection, new study shows

Two studies led by UT Southwestern used artificial intelligence to identify patterns of brain activity that make people less responsive to certain antidepressants

UTSW researchers identify molecule linking weight gain to gut bacteria - researchers have found a key driver of the crosstalk that helps synchronize the absorption of nutrients in the gut with the rhythms of the Earth’s day-night light cycle

Editing of the gut microbiota reduces carcinogenesis in mouse models of colitis-associated colorectal cancer (Jul 2019) "The most significant finding in this study is that manipulating the intestinal microbiome is sufficient to affect the development of tumors"

Exercise shown to be more effective than medicine in reducing visceral fat, which is linked to diabetes, cancer, heart disease and chronic inflammation.

Researchers succeeded in neutralizing what they believe is a primary factor in late-onset Alzheimer’s disease, opening the door to development of a vaccine or drug that could be administered before age 40, and taken for life, to potentially prevent the disease in 50 to 80 percent of at-risk adults.

DNA vaccine reduces both toxic proteins linked to Alzheimer’s: A vaccine delivered to the skin prompts an immune response that reduces buildup of harmful tau and beta-amyloid in mice modeled to have Alzheimer’s disease

Scientists for the first time used CRISPR gene editing to halt the progression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in dogs

Study shows hormone ghrelin affects exercise endurance, food intake post-workout

Poor fitness linked to weaker brain fiber, higher dementia risk - A new study suggests that the lower the fitness level, the faster the deterioration of vital nerve fibers in the brain. This deterioration results in cognitive decline, including memory issues characteristic of dementia patients.

New CRISPR method efficiently corrects Duchenne muscular dystrophy causing mutations in human heart muscle

Autism therapy: Social behavior restored via brain stimulation - Scientists are examining the feasibility of treating autistic children with neuromodulation after a new study with mice showed social impairments can be corrected by brain stimulation…

Study answers why ketamine helps depression, offers target for safer therapy

The number of motor vehicle fatalities involving children under age 15 varies widely by state, but occurrences are more common in the South, and are most often associated with improperly or unused restraints and crashes on rural roads,
