Black pregnant individuals frequently experience more than one mental health concern, according to findings published by Susan Gennaro, PhD, RN, FAAN, Professor in the William F. Connell School of Nursing at Boston College, and colleagues in The Nurse Practitioner.
Researchers at Michigan State University have shown that cells known as glia could lower the threshold to trigger visceral pain in patients, such as those with irritable bowel syndrome, who have experienced inflammation in the gut. The finding was reported in the journal Science Signaling. The team discovered this phenomenon in mice, meaning the results may not completely extrapolate to humans. Still, the work provides a new avenue of exploration to better treat visceral pain, which is the most common gastrointestinal issue.
Lidocaine activates certain bitter taste receptors through two unique mechanisms that result in cancer cell death, according to researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Their findings, published today in Cell Reports, pave the way for a clinical trial to test the addition of lidocaine to the standard of care therapy for patients with head and neck cancers.

Despite advancements, cancer remains a major global health challenge, taking millions of lives every year. Traditional treatments such as chemotherapy, while effective, often have severe side effects and don't consistently guarantee a complete cure. Cancer stem cells (CSCs), recently spotlighted in scientific research, have been identified as key players behind cancer's tenacity, recurrence, and resistance to treatments.

Several studies have investigated the effect of parental age on biological parameters such as reproduction, lifespan, and health; however, the results have been inconclusive, largely due to inter-species variation and/or modest effect sizes.
The Wnt signaling pathway, a system present in living organisms, plays a pivotal role in cell growth, differentiation, and migration. It has a long history dating back to 1982 when the first Wnt gene, which is essential for cellular growth, was discovered.
The CAIRT satellite mission is becoming increasingly likely. The European Space Agency (ESA) has now selected the concept, that was coordinated by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), as one of two remaining candidates for an Earth observation mission. The final decision for implementation will be made in 2025.
روتشستر، مينيسوتا – إن فيروس نقص المناعة البشري، الذي يسبب الإيدز (مرض نقص المناعة البشري المكتسب) بإمكانه أن يختفي في الجسم عدة سنوات قبلما تظهر الأعراض. وخلال هذا الوقت، فإنه يقضي على جزء من الجهاز المناعي دون أن نشعر. لذا فإن هدفنا هو اكتشاف فيروس نقص المناعة البشري قبلما تظهر الأعراض، مما يجعل الاختبارات الروتينية ضروريةً كي يعرف المرضى أنهم مصابون وكي يتسنى علاجهم، وهذا ما أوضحته الدكتورة ستيسي ريزا خبيرة الأمراض المُعدية والباحثة في فيروس نقص المناعة البشري لدى مايو كلينك.

While earlier studies found a link between threats experienced in early life and epigenetic age acceleration in children, the study led by Schmitz shows that this relationship may not persist into adulthood. On the other hand, the researchers found that experiences of deprivation in childhood may lead to age acceleration later in life.
