Researchers have discovered how a particular protein affects the growth and spread of colon cancer in humans. The study not only improves our understanding of why this type of cancer can be aggressive in some people, but it also highlights a potential treatment target.Continue ReadingCategory: Cancer, Illnesses and conditions, Body & MindTags: Colorectal cancer, Protein, Metastasis, National
"Significant" discovery: How ivy can effectively silence our pain
Posted by ArielTechGeek 137 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Common ivy is better known as a garden invader or a rather attractive indoor plant that's prone to triggering allergic reactions or irritation. Now, for the first time, it's been found to be extremely effective in blocking pain signals – by invading a key pain receptor.Continue ReadingCategory: Chronic Pain, Illnesses and conditions, Body & MindTags: Leipzig University, Plants, molecular biol

Discovery of new type of cell with potential to boost tissue repair
Posted by ArielTechGeek 217 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A newly discovered cell that matures into two specialist cell types – an immune cell responsible for tissue repair and a cell that forms blood vessels – significantly boosts wound healing, according to new research. It could be a game-changer for people suffering from chronic, hard-to-heal wounds.Continue ReadingCategory: Body & MindTags: wound-healing, Stem Cells, progenitor-cells, south-aus
Element 120 discovery possible after titanium beam breakthrough
Posted by ArielTechGeek 279 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Scientists at Berkeley Lab have used a titanium beam to make atoms of element 116. Not only does this represent a new way to make the super rare element, but it stands as a proof-of-concept that they could soon potentially create the as-yet-undiscovered element 120, which may be stable.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: new element, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Atoms, Titan
Quick, accurate autism test possible after gut link discovery
Posted by ArielTechGeek 295 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
The microbiome’s central role in regulating the gut-brain axis and impacting health has gained prominence in the past decade. Prior research has linked the composition of gut bacteria to brain-related conditions like depression, PTSD and Alzheimer’s disease, and multiple sclerosis.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Autism, Microbiome, Micro-organisms, Chinese Univers
Immune cell discovery: "The potential to be used for almost everything"
Posted by ArielTechGeek 315 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
As their name suggests, regulatory T cells, or Tregs, are a type of white blood cell that actively regulate or suppress the body’s immune response. They stop the immune system from overreacting, keeping it in check by controlling inflammation and protecting against autoimmune diseases in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: The
Genetics of aging uncovered with rare disease discovery
Posted by ArielTechGeek 329 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Small vessel disease (SVD) causes damage to small arteries and capillaries that reduces blood flow to sensitive organs like the eye, brain, and kidney and can be triggered by aging, high blood pressure, and genetic abnormalities. Retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy (RVCL) is an SVD caused by an inherited mutation in the TREX1 gene. It’s rare, with fewer than 200 known cases wor
Discovery of colossal skull suggests that "thunder bird" was a giant goose
Posted by ArielTechGeek 331 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Geese have a reputation for being aggressive, unpleasant birds, so imagine one that’s more than 2 m (6.6 ft) tall and weighs about 230 kg (507 lb). That’s Genyornis newtoni, an Ice Age "thunder bird" from Australia, for which scientists have now found the first complete skull.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Birds, Fossils, Australia, Animal science, Flinders University
