Neurobiologists from the University of Queensland in Australia have made a significant discovery that sheds light on the potential effects of vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women on the development of their unborn babies. The researchers have found that this deficiency can have an impact on the dopaminergic cells of the fetus and may increase […]

Understanding the Association Depression and cardiovascular diseases are both widespread health conditions that have been the focus of extensive research. While it has been suggested that these two conditions may develop independently, recent studies have shed light on a potential connection between them. Research data indicates that individuals with severe depressive disorders face a significantly

The discovery of a genomic biomarker for endometriosis based on microribonucleic acid (miRNA) in saliva in 2022 has opened new prospects for early and non-invasive disease diagnosis. The recognition of a sequence consisting of 109 miRNAs became possible through the combination of two technologies: next-generation sequencing (NGS) and artificial intelligence. This marks the first diagnostic

Pesticide Residues in Conventional Produce: Dirty Dozen Pesticide residues in conventional produce have become a significant concern for health-conscious consumers. The Environmental Working Group (EWG), known for its efforts to improve human health and the environment, plays a crucial role in providing information about pesticide contamination through their annual report. The report highlights two prominent

Consumers have high expectations when purchasing “green” beauty products, assuming that these products are free from harmful toxins and carcinogens. However, a recent investigation conducted by a consumer watchdog group examined over 80 green beauty cosmetics for the presence of organic fluorine, which serves as an indicator of toxic PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) known

Investigators from the Barts Cancer Institute at Queen Mary University of London have made a groundbreaking discovery regarding the role of mitochondrial dynamics in controlling the migration of melanoma skin cancer cells, as revealed in a study published in Nature Communications. Additionally, they found that the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) serves as a crucial sensor

A rash is characterized by irritated and/or swollen skin, often accompanied by itchiness, pain, and redness. Certain rashes can even result in blistering or the formation of raw skin patches. Rashes can occur as a symptom of various medical conditions, allergies, or exposure to irritating substances. While some rashes appear suddenly, others may gradually develop

What is Crohn’s disease? Crohn’s disease, an autoimmune gastrointestinal disorder, is one of two types of inflammatory bowel disease characterized by possible inflammation throughout the entire thickness of the bowel wall. It has the potential to affect the entire gastrointestinal tract, ranging from the mouth to the colon. This disease typically exhibits wide variability among

The FDA’s approval of Pfizer Inc’s bivalent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) prefusion F (RSVpreF) vaccine Abrysvo to prevent lower respiratory tract disease caused by RSV in individuals 60 years of age and older is based on foundational basic science discoveries. These discoveries include findings from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that detail the crystal

The Potential of Lipid Nanoparticles in mRNA Vaccine Delivery In recent years, researchers have been actively exploring new treatment modalities for infectious diseases, with a particular focus on the development of nanomedicine. Nanomedicine involves the use of nanoscale materials to diagnose and treat diseases, including the targeted delivery of drugs to specific locations within the
