Custom smartwatch tracks sedate levels inside the body continuously Kumar Jeetendra | August 8, 2020 Engineers in the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and their colleagues at Stanford School of Medicine have demonstrated that drug levels inside the body is able to be tracked in real time using a custom smartwatch which assesses the compounds found in sweat. This wearable technology can be incorporated into a more personalized approach to …
Study: Anti-microRNA sedate essentially lessens miR-92a levels in human peripheral blood Kumar Jeetendra | August 12, 2020 A single intravenous dose of MRG-110, an anti-microRNA drug, significantly reduced miR-92a levels from the blood of healthy humans. “According to documented, promising therapeutic possible, locked nucleic acid (LNA)-based anti-miR-92a was further developed and tested in a first in human analysis,” said Stefanie Dimmeler, PhD, Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany and coauthors. “MRG-110 caused de-repression of …
PC model disentangles puzzle behind serious aggravation in individuals with COVID-19 Kumar Jeetendra | September 29, 2020 A study from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Cedars-Sinai addresses a mystery first raised in March: Why do some people with COVID-19 develop severe inflammation? The research shows how the molecular arrangement and arrangement of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein–part of the virus that causes COVID-19–could be behind the inflammatory syndrome cropping up …
UC research group utilizes zebrafish to contemplate a quality change that causes intrinsic scoliosis Kumar Jeetendra | January 24, 2021 Popular in aquariums throughout the world, the zebrafish is native to South Asia. But here in a Cincinnati Children’s laboratory, the freshwater variant plays a vital role in scientific discovery. The patterning of the zebrafish’s spine gives the appearance of stripes; it is controlled by segmentation genes which function as a clock. Zinani is part …
Hamilton BiOS® Automated Sample Storage System Selected for New Health Sciences Research Building (HSRB)- II at Emory University Kumar Jeetendra | February 9, 2021 Hamilton Storage is very happy to confirm that the Hamilton BiOS® automatic storage system will be installed as part of a shared biorepository for preserving biological material at Emory University’s new Woodruff Health Sciences Center Health Sciences Research Building (HSRB)-II. This state-of-the-art biomedical research facility construction, including installation of the BiOS, is expected to be …
Study describes cisplatin-prompted hearing loss in pediatric cancer growth patients Kumar Jeetendra | February 14, 2021 Permanent hearing loss is a common side effect of the medicine, but until now, studies have been too little and too varied to accurately characterize this risk. Today in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, researchers at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles published results of the biggest analysis of cisplatin-induced hearing loss to date. The analysis …
Researchers concentrate how a single gene alteration may have isolated modern humans from extinct hominins Kumar Jeetendra | February 16, 2021 As a professor of pediatrics and molecular and cellular medicine at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, Alysson R. Muotri, PhD, has long studied how the brain develops and what goes wrong in neurological disorders. For nearly as long, he has also been curious about the evolution of the human brain -; what …
Scientists recognize neural circuit associated with reciprocally controlling weight gain and despondency Kumar Jeetendra | March 27, 2021 Research has found that obesity and mental disorders such as depression and anxiety seem to often go together. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and cooperating institutions are providing new insights into this association by identifying and characterizing a novel neural circuit that mediates the reciprocal control of feeding and mental conditions in mouse models. …
Growing genomic research into different ancestries yields more and better outcomes Kumar Jeetendra | June 1, 2021 Currently published in Nature Genetics, their findings demonstrate that expanding research into different ancestries yields more and better results, in addition to ultimately benefitting global patient care. Up to now nearly 87 percent of genomic research of the type was conducted in Europeans. The global study team examined data across a wide assortment of cohorts, …
