Risk Factor For Bacterial And Viral Co-Infection Uncovered
Tiny bubble-like sacs called vesicles that travel between cells in the body can trigger and worsen secondary bacterial infections in people with viral lung infections like colds, flu or even Covid-19.
Restoring Function To KNDy Neurons In Brain Could Reverse Infertility
Restoring function to a specific type of nerve cell in the brain called KNDy neurons could help reverse some types of infertility, suggest results from a Japanese study.
Sensor Shows Promise For Continuous Heart And Lung Health Tracking
A small, liquid-filled sensor can continuously and accurately detect cardiac problems or shortness of breath at an early stage, something which could warn heart failure patients of health deterioration and also help pick up early signs of infections su…
Gene Editing Technique Halts Premature Aging In Mice
A specialized gene editing technique that allows very small and precise changes to be made to the genetic code can halt a disease that causes premature aging in a mouse model and double the lifespan of the treated animals.
Imbalance In Gut Microbiome Could Worsen Severity Of Covid-19
An imbalance of the microbes in the gut may increase the chance of developing more severe Covid-19 and could also put people at risk of the post viral syndrome known as ‘long Covid’.
Bacteria Linked With Symptoms Of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
A group of bacteria commonly found in the gut of people with irritable bowel syndrome, may cause some of the symptoms associated with the condition, suggest results from a Swedish study.
Combining Mixed Reality Tech With Brain Signals Could Improve Rehabilitative Medicine
A new headset and software platform allows researchers and developers of mixed reality programs the opportunity to incorporate biometric signals from the brain and body into their technology, something that has wide potential for use in rehabilitative …
Wearable Cuff Could Spot Early Signs Of Movement Disorders In Babies
A wearable cuff that can be slipped onto a baby’s ankle provides valuable insights into neurological development and could help inform doctors whether a child’s nervous system is developing normally or not.
Glyphosate Exposure Could Disrupt Human Gut Microbiome
Exposure to glyphosate could adversely affect the microbes in our gut, potentially leading to poor health.
Wearable Fitness Trackers Could Help Detect Covid-19 Cases
