- A Risky Business: Why Do Some Parkinson's Disease Treatments Affect Decision-Making?https://reachmd.com/news/a-risky-business-why-do-some-parkinsons-disease-treatments-affect-decision-making/2468280/Parkinson's disease (PD), also known simply as Parkinson's, is a disorder of the nervous system that affects millions of people worldwide. The nerve cell damage associated with Parkinson's can cause tremors, slowed movements, problems with balance, and many other symptoms which worsen gradua
- New Tool Reveals Details of the Microscopic Brain Structures Between Neuronshttps://reachmd.com/news/new-tool-reveals-details-of-the-microscopic-brain-structures-between-neurons/2468239/Between and around the billions of neurons in the human brain is an equally vital scaffold, the extracellular matrix (ECM). An interlinked net of proteins and sugars that surrounds brain cells, the ECM is more than simple structural support; changes in the ECM can regulate complex brai
- The Role of an Energy-Producing Enzyme in Treating Parkinson’s Diseasehttps://reachmd.com/news/the-role-of-an-energy-producing-enzyme-in-treating-parkinsons-disease/2467906/An enzyme called PGK1 has an unexpectedly critical role in the production of chemical energy in brain cells, according to a preclinical study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine. The investigators found that boosting its activity may help the brain resist the energy
- Low Cortisol, Hair-Trigger Stress Response in the Brain May Underlie Long COVIDhttps://reachmd.com/news/low-cortisol-hair-trigger-stress-response-in-the-brain-may-underlie-long-covid/2467870/Proteins left behind by COVID-19 long after initial infection can cause cortisol levels in the brain to plummet, inflame the nervous system and prime its immune cells to hyper-react when another stressor arises, according to new animal research by University of Colorado Boulder scientists.</
- Recalibrating Principles of Epigenetic Aging Clocks in Human Healthhttps://reachmd.com/news/recalibrating-principles-of-epigenetic-aging-clocks-in-human-health/2467822/Credit: 2024 Zhang et al. “Our study revealed that the composition of immune cells significantly affects the variation in EAA across six common blood epigenetic clocks.” BUFFALO, NY- August 14, 2024 – A new editorial was published in
- Spanish Researchers Reveal Why Vaccines Have Lower Efficacy in Patients with Multiple Myelomahttps://reachmd.com/news/spanish-researchers-reveal-why-vaccines-have-lower-efficacy-in-patients-with-multiple-myeloma/2467672/A research carried out by a group from Cima and the Clínica Universidad de Navarra has described the composition of the immune system in blood samples from patients with multiple myeloma, by generating a new immunological atlas, and has revealed how changes in immune cells themselve
- Study Suggests Preoperative Iron Infusions Work Better Than Blood Transfusions for Some Anemic Patientshttps://reachmd.com/news/study-suggests-preoperative-iron-infusions-work-better-than-blood-transfusions-for-some-anemic-patients/2467540/In a rigorous medical records study covering tens of thousands of patients, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers conclude that some patients with preoperative anemia have better outcomes if they get iron infusions before surgery rather than standard red blood cell
- Cemiplimab Shows Promising Results in Refractory cSCC Patientshttps://reachmd.com/news/cemiplimab-shows-promising-results-refractory-cscc-patients/2467554/New research suggests cemiplimab is safe and effective in patients with refractory locally advanced (LA) and metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Researchers for the retrospective single-center Canadian study sought to characterize the real-world use of cemiplimab in pati
- Pitt Is Building a Molecular Brain Map to Understand Alzheimer’s Diseasehttps://reachmd.com/news/pitt-is-building-a-molecular-brain-map-to-understand-alzheimers-disease/2467496/Less than a decade ago, when Dr. Hansruedi Mathys launched an ambitious project to create an annotated library of all the gene readouts stored within 100 individual brain cells, the task felt daunting. Now, with technological advances, Mathys successfully mapped out such
