Plastic warp is indispensable in the modern kitchen, but there have been fears in recent years that some of the substances used in its manufacture could migrate into foods, particularly those with a high fat content such as fried meats,
PBT2 works against the production and build-up of a protein called amyloid-beta characterised by the disease that can build up into a 'plaque'. The protein is also believed to be toxic to brain cells and to prevent them from functioning
Writing about their findings in the journal Molecular Therapy, the researchers highlighted that they had successfully improved thought process in female mice bred with the inability to produce oestrogen receptor-alpha, a protein apparently necessary for healthy learning and memory. "We
They have come to this conclusion after conducting a study of 5,870 young adult women, published in the July issue of Clinical and Experimental Allergy. Dr. Janne Tolstrup, lead author of the study, says that the risk increased three per
Malaria is a leading cause of death for kids in sub-Saharan Africa and cerebral malaria, which affects more than 750,000 children a year, is one of the deadliest forms of the disease. It only takes one bite from an infected
The study was among the first to explore the suspected link between fat deposits around the heart and the development of hard, calcified plaque in arteries. Calcified plaque may not be risky, but it is linked with the presence of
That's the conclusion of a Journal of Neuroscience study, which sheds light on normal memory mechanisms and how they are disrupted by aging. During sleep, the hippocampus, a brain region important in learning and memory, repeatedly "replays" brain activity from
The research said that the upper GI is naturally equipped to handle such liquids which are associated with low pH. Consumption of these drinks typically provide little or no harm to natural protective mechanisms of the lining of the upper
Cystic fibrosis (also known as CF, mucoviscoidosis, or mucoviscidosis) is a hereditary disease that affects the exocrine (mucus) glands of the lungs, liver, pancreas, and intestines, causing progressive disability due to multisystem failure. The research team led by Dr. Richard
The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Utah, also showed that neighbourhoods built before 1950 tended to offer greater overall walkability as they more often were designed with the pedestrian in mind, while newer neighbourhoods often were designed
A study from the Murdoch Children's Research Institute has found that harsh discipline and parental stress is increasing the risk of mental health troubles in young children, what with children as young as 3 years of age suffering from depression
The discovery has enabled researchers improve thought processes in female mice, bred with an ability to produce oestrogen receptor-alpha, a protein needed for healthy learning and memory. "We were able to restore function in these animals, not by dosing them
The researchers say that their breakthrough research may pave the way for more targeted medication therapies for a host of psychiatric diseases, most notably in the area of addiction. "These findings are so clear and detailed at the level of
Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and related autoimmune disorders are caused by a misguided immune system. Certain white blood cells, which ordinarily protect the body from infection, attack its tissues instead. Although it's not clear how these conditions are linked to cardiovascular
The study has revealed that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, which has been linked to the development of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, increases when testosterone progressively dominates the hormonal milieu during the menopausal transition The longitudinal, 9-year-study of 949 participants
The new study led by Siba Raychaudhuri, a faculty member of the University of California, Davis, in the United States found that arthritis patients taking the herbal remedy showed significant improvement in as little as seven days. "The high incidence
