A study led by researchers of Brigham and Women’s Hospital claims that technology could potentially offer a variety of treatments for human neurological disorders. In the past few decades, a team of researchers has identified biological pathways leading to neurodegenerative diseases and developed promising molecular agents to target them. However, […]

Scientists have found evidence of lower than expected transfer of protective antibodies against the novel coronavirus via the placenta from mothers who are infected in the third trimester, findings that shed light on critical windows in pregnancy that may be most desirable for vaccination. According to the researchers, including those […]

Two new studies give encouraging evidence that having Covid-19 may offer some protection against future infections. Researchers found that people who made antibodies to the coronavirus were much less likely to test positive again for up to six months and maybe longer. The results bode well for vaccines, which provoke […]

A recent study has found out that Stem cell treatment for vascular diseases can be predicted through real-time observation. In the study which was published in the journal Biomaterials, therapeutic efficacy prediction was done using initial distribution images of stem cells that differentiate to endothelial cells. It can be applied […]

A new study led by UCL researchers has found out that during the initial phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, lower rates of hospital attendance for urgent heart problems may have contributed towards avoidable deaths in England. In this study, published online in the journal Circulation cardiovascular quality and outcomes, researchers […]

The number of people falling sick to a mysterious disease in Eluru city of Andhra Pradesh saw a rapid decline on Wednesday even as medical and scientific experts could not yet exactly pinpoint what caused the outbreak. But after several rounds of tests, they opined that organochlorine and lead could […]

Researchers from the Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts claims that common weight-loss surgeries for adolescents with obesity called sleeve gastrectomy may lead to harmful effects on bones. According to the study, while teenagers may opt for popular weight-loss surgeries, they may know that the common side-effect of the same may […]

Health-conscious consumers are eating avocados like never before during the pandemic. After a brief drop in demand at the start of the Covid crisis, European and U.S. consumption are hitting record highs, according to Xavier Equihua, chief executive officer of the World Avocado Organization, a trade group. “Consumption is off the […]

While staying close to nature can lead to many health benefits, a recent study has highlighted another advantage of the same. As per a new study, nature around one’s home may help mitigate some of the negative mental health effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The new study was published in the journal […]

Less than a month ago, the Food and Drug Administration said hospitals could use remdesivir, a drug manufactured by Gilead Sciences Inc., to treat patients with Covid-19. Remdesivir, sold under the brand name Veklury, was said to shorten recovery times and reduce the need for ventilators to facilitate breathing. Yesterday, the […]

An acebuchin-oil-enriched diet helps to reduce arterial blood pressure, as shown by a study carried out by the Cardiovascular Physiopathology research group at the Physiology Department of the University of Seville. Furthermore, their work shows that acebuche oil has a greater impact in reducing hypertension than extra virgin olive oil. This […]

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have designed a “heat-tolerant” Covid-19 vaccine candidate that can ease the requirement for a cold chain for a vaccination programme. The design was recently published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. It is a protein subunit vaccine that uses a part of […]
