The communication between the brain and bodily organs is fundamental to emotion regulation and overall mental health. The ...

The 'cell of origin' of the second most common lung cancer and the way that it becomes dominant in the lung have been discovered, in a new study in mice and humans from researchers at UCL, the ...

Researchers have shown that activation of the protein YAP, which helps tumours grow, differs between two- and three-dimensional culture models, pointing to more predictive systems for testing cancer ...

The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) synchronises circadian rhythmicity (~24 h) across the body. The SCN cell-autonomous clock is modelled qualitatively as a transcriptional-translational feedback loop ...

That means patients experience less pain, recover faster, and are left with more lung tissue. It is especially the last benefit that is important, Van Huijstee said. “When cutting away a small tumor, ...

For such cases, Lung Volume Reduction Surgery (LVRS) offers a promising intervention by removing damaged lung tissue to improve respiratory mechanics. However, like any surgical procedure, LVRS comes ...

These conditions lead to inflammation of lung tissue and accumulation of fluid in alveoli (small lung sacs), which can result in coughing and chest pain. Pneumonia and other viral and bacterial ...

Why? In neurons as opposed to skin cells, an overabundance of alpha-synuclein seems to pull them out of the cell's nucleus into clusters forming in the cytoplasm surrounding the nucleus ...

In one study 3, for instance, Lilley and her colleagues measured how the proteome of lung cancer ... normally present in the nucleus but can form toxic granules in the cytoplasm of neurons in ...

Nine out of 10 unvaccinated people exposed to an infected person will catch it, and once measles takes root, the virus can damage the lungs, kidneys and the brain. Unlike viruses that require ...
