Feb 11th 2025, 13:45

Foods that evoke a sense of nostalgia and comfort and have good texture variety are important considerations in prepared meals aimed at older adults, according to new research.

Feb 11th 2025, 13:44

A complementary drug to combat Alzheimer's disease could target a specific part of the nerve cell protein tau. This is the finding of new research which also offers a better way to measure the effect of treatment among patients.

Feb 11th 2025, 13:44

Researchers have discovered a new mechanism that is used by a male sex hormone essential for muscle and bone function. The findings could lead to the development of new drugs with fewer side effects, for use in applications such as strengthening the muscles of immobile patients.

Feb 11th 2025, 13:41

The pleasurable urge to move to music -- to groove -- appears to be a physiological response independent of how much we generally enjoy music, according to a new article. That groove response is so strong it is even found in people with musical anhedonia, those who take little or no pleasure from music. Researchers compared groove responses to more than 50 short pieces of music in people with musical anhedonia and non-anhedonic controls and found that for people with anhedonia, the urge to move appears to drive their experience of pleasure. That suggests that the blunted pleasure sensation found in people with musical anhedonia is compensated by the urge to move.

Feb 11th 2025, 13:41

A new study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease and triggering downstream pathologies and motor impairment, shedding light on disease mechanisms and potential new ways to develop therapies.

Feb 11th 2025, 13:41

Scientists have developed an innovative method for growing brain tumors of individual patients in the laboratory that mimic the original structure and the molecular property of the parental tumor as closely as possible. Drug tests in this model were found to correlate very well with actual patient responses, making it a valuable method for investigating therapies.

Feb 10th 2025, 18:36

A new study found that friends significantly agreed on who was ready for committed relationships -- and who wasn't.

Feb 10th 2025, 13:28

Researchers discovered that nearly 70 per cent of suspected frontotemporal dementia patients ultimately did not have the disease in a study aimed at identifying factors that contribute to misdiagnosis of this notoriously difficult to diagnose disorder.

Feb 6th 2025, 18:37

Researchers continue to advance the science to determine best treatments for stroke. Based on an international study of 530 patients, researchers discovered that while the clot retrieval procedure endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) can dramatically improve patient outcomes after an acute ischemic stroke caused by a blockage in a large blood vessel, it did not improve outcomes in patients with blockages in medium-sized vessels. Lead investigators say study findings will help physicians quickly determine the best care for each individual case.
