Louis Justement, Ph.D., has been named president-elect of the largest coalition of biological and biomedical research associations in the United States, FASEB.
CT scans of the lungs of smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease — when analyzed by a mathematical function called airway fractal dimension — can estimate increased risk of death for a group of people who are not otherwise identified as high-risk by conventional tests.
In the first clinical trial of its kind, researchers hope to discover whether following the ketogenic diet will help patients with acute spinal cord injuries regain sensory and motor functions faster than those who do not follow the diet.
Spending time outdoors may seem as sweet as honey, but a UAB pediatrician says sting allergies can bee a real buzzkill if you are not careful.
NEAT1, a noncoding RNA, appears to play a significant role in diminishing memory in the older brain, according to research publishing Tuesday from UAB. Gene editing could potentially be used to boost memory.
Scientists at UAB have identified an enzyme in the brain, LIMK1, that may be an intriguing target for interventions against Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia due to its interactions with dendritic spines.
Neurologists report outcomes provided by a specialized neuromodulation clinic for drug-resistant epilepsy during 19 months of operation: improved access for patients, good communication with referring physicians, and achievement of expected outcomes for reducing or eliminating seizures.
New research from UAB provides evidence, for the first time, to continue using the criteria set by major respiratory societies for the diagnosis of airflow obstruction and COPD.
Every year, nearly 700,000 Americans have surgery for groin hernias.
A nephrologist at UAB who created a solution to help critically ill patients in the intensive care unit safely receive dialysis has created a fund to boost future inventions and products to help people living with kidney disease.
UAB radiation oncologists are the first to use the Varian Edge® radiosurgery system and virtual cone technology for functional stereotactic radiosurgery on movement disorder patients, such as essential tremor or tremor-dominant Parkinson’s patients.

An international research team led by scientists at UAB has identified a fibril form of alpha-synuclein as a potential target for therapeutics that might help slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease.
Cyclists should know the rules of the road and prepare before leaving home. - Bicycle helmets are not required by every state, but significantly decrease injury. - Wearing bright clothes makes cyclists more visible. - Attention to a bicycle’s maintenance helps reduce incidents. - Responsible bicycle riding includes knowing the rules of the road.
In a study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers show how the stress-responsive protein SIRT1 plays important roles in maintaining the regenerative potential of chronic myeloid leukemia leukemic stem cells and promoting leukemia development in CML.
