Inflammation control can protect against AMD-like retinal damage2:56 University of Minnesota Medical School researchers have shown that reducing chronic inflammation can significantly protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD)-like pathology in preclinical models. New trial to test extended tranexamic acid use for faster ACL surgery recovery2:56 A breakthrough could be coming in the way young people recover from surgery to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee, a common sports injury. Comprehensive antibody map reveals how SARS-CoV-2 mutations evade immunity2:56 Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and collaborators have created the most comprehensive map to date showing how antibodies attach to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, and how viral mutations weaken that attachment. Scientists identify cellular control points to tackle multiple viruses2:56 Scientists were pleased when they learned more about how the common cold gains a foothold in the body, identifying key cellular checkpoints that are important targets of the virus. Combined healthy eating and exercise linked to greater reductions in visceral fat2:56 Improving diet and increasing physical activity levels together may be more effective at preventing weight gain – particularly harmful fat inside the abdomen – than just changing one of these behaviours, new research from the University of Cambridge suggests. Discovery of unexpected mechanism may help improve healing across muscle injuries2:56 At the cellular level, the mechanics of how muscle tissue repair occurs gets complicated. There are significant differences between, say, tearing a muscle in a sports injury versus muscle tissue wasting away from diseases like muscular dystrophy. New funding advances AI-powered technology to track therapeutic and diseased cells2:23 Targeting and treating diseases first requires being able to find specific cells-which is challenging because they travel within the body and can "hide." Artificial intelligence helps patients better comprehend medical findings2:23 Medical reports written in technical terminology can pose challenges for patients. A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has investigated how artificial intelligence can make CT findings easier to understand. New Mānuka honey formulation shows promise against drug-resistant bacteria2:23 Aston University's Dr Jonathan Cox and New Zealand Mānuka honey company Comvita have announced a significant milestone in their three-year research collaboration, with the filing of a new patent for a formulation to fight bacterial infections. Reduced ketone body metabolism may be key to impaired energy production in type 2 diabetes2:23 The liver plays a central role in storing and supplying energy to the body. In type 2 diabetes and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, commonly referred to as fatty liver disease), mitochondria-the cell's power plants-cannot switch efficiently between fuel sources. |
