Researchers report a lower risk of developing multiple sclerosis in people who drink six or more cups of coffee a day.
A new study reports symptoms of psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety and heightened response to stress, may be transmitted from mom to child, and even grandchildren by multiple non genetic mechanisms.
A new 3D human gut organoid reveals the molecular system that keeps the intestinal linings sealed and how dysfunction can occur. Findings reveal the diabetes drug metformin can help strengthen the intestinal lining.
Researchers use CRISPR to modulate genes in order to reduce tissue damage and inflammation for people with neck and back pain.
Older adults who consumed cranberries frequently as part of their diet saw improvements in episodic memory, neural function, and brain perfusion. Cranberry consumption was also linked to a significant decrease in LDL cholesterol. Findings reveal adding cranberries to the diet helps to improve memory and could protect against dementia.
A new study adds to the growing body of research linking inflammation to depression. Researchers found the molecule histamine directly inhibits the release of serotonin in the brain by attaching to inhibitory receptors on serotonin neurons in mice.
Examining postmortem brains of ASD patients, researchers discover an accumulation of immune cells surrounding blood vessels in the brain. They also found blebs accumulating around blood vessels that contained astrocyte debris. The findings suggest autism may be an autoimmune disorder.
Zebrafish study reveals how key dopaminergic neurons, which are damaged as a result of Parkinson's disease, can be regenerated. Researchers report the immune system plays a critical role in the process.
Maternal exposure to infection prior to pregnancy can transfer into life long cellular immunity in infants who are breastfed.
Researchers have identified specific points on chromosome 11 that increase the risks of developing both cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's. The study reports managing cholesterol and triglyceride levels could help to reduce Alzheimer's risk.
If you are prone to depression, a new study suggests you should avoid indulging on dietary sugars. Added sugars have a pro-inflammatory effect on depressive disorders.
Gamma interferons, a type of immune cell that induces and modulates several immune system responses, may also play a role in preventing depression.
