Many middle-aged and older women get mammograms every one to two years to screen for breast cancer, as recommended by their doctors. A study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis indicates that previous mammograms hold underutilized data that could help identify women at high risk of breast cancer and even reveal which breast is likely to be affected.

Scientists from UNSW Sydney with collaborators at Boston University have developed a tool that shows early promise in detecting Parkinson’s disease years before the first symptoms start appearing.

Researchers from Aston University and the University of York have discovered new insights into how the human brain makes perceptual judgements of the external world.

A team of biochemists at the University of Notre Dame has found a possible new way to treat patients infected with Clostridioides difficile, a type of bacteria that causes serious gastrointestinal problems. In their study, reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the group searched medical databases for antibacterial molecules that might work better for patients with C. difficile infections.

Team spirit can be more of a hindrance than a help when it comes to reporting concussion in women’s rugby.

Using a process confirmation vector, researchers developed and optimized a size exclusion chromatography (SEC) with UV and multi-angle light scattering (MALS) method to measure the level of empty capsids during manufacturing. In a new study, the researchers showed that SEC-MALS outperformed other analytical methods and correlated well with sedimentation velocity analytical ultracentrifugation (SV-AUC) values of full-to-empty particles. The study is published in the peer-reviewed journal Human Gene Therapy.

New research from Boston Medical Center found that people living with HIV that have had pulmonary tuberculosis had broader and more potent HIV antibody responses and differences in HIV sequences predicted to be antibody resistant as compared to those without suspected or documented tuberculosis. Published in iScience, the study suggests that concomitant tuberculosis disease has a significant impact on HIV immune responses and the viruses circulating in people living with HIV.

A long molecule of RNA found in abundance in the healthy smooth muscle cells that give our blood vessels strength and flexibility is also essential to the continuous contraction that moves food through our gastrointestinal tract.
