Nov 1st 2024, 12:35

Researchers found that a 12-week therapeutic virtual yoga program for chronic low back pain can be a feasible, safe and effective treatment option.

Oct 31st 2024, 15:18

Researchers have created the first blueprint of the human spliceosome, the most complex and intricate molecular machine in human biology. The vast majority of human genes -- more than nine in ten -- are edited by the spliceosome. The sheer number of components involved has meant the scientific feat took more than a decade to complete. The research reveals many new drug targets that could benefit a wide spectrum of diseases including most types of cancer, neurodegenerative conditions and genetic disorders.

Oct 31st 2024, 13:08

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this region has now been shown, through computational modeling and brain stimulation, to also facilitate the retention and forgetting of motor memories.

Oct 31st 2024, 13:08

Antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) are an established therapy for pregnant women at risk of preterm birth. Researchers have found that babies given ACS had notably smaller volumes of two key brain regions, the bilateral amygdalae and caudate nuclei, which are essential for emotion processing and motor control, respectively. The findings suggest that doctors should adjust ACS use to reduce potential risks to brain development.
