Eating cheese may offset blood vessel damage from salt
Eating cheese and increasing consumption of other dairy products helps improve vascular health by reducing the effects of a high-sodium diet, a new study reports. ... Read More...
Transplanted brain stem cells survive without anti-rejection drugs
Researchers have developed a new method to transplant neural stem cells into mice without the need for lifelong anti-rejection medications.... Read More...
New algorithm can distinguish cyberbullies from normal Twitter users with 90% accuracy
A new deep learning system is 90% accurate in identifying cyberbullies on the popular social media site Twitter. ... Read More...
Teen girl ‘night owls’ may be more likely to gain weight
Teenage girls who experience inadequate sleep have an increased risk of obesity than their peers who prefer to sleep early. Interventions aimed at improving sleep schedules could be useful preventative tools for curbing obesity in teenagers.... Read More...
A new approach for treating inflammation
Targeting the miR-199, a microRNA which reduces the migration of neutrophils could potentially reduce inflammation without compromising the immune system.... Read More...
How lymphoma cells metastasize to the brain
In aging mice, chronic inflammatory processes lead lymphoma cells which entered the brain to be retained, rather than released directly back into the blood.... Read More...
Don’t make major decisions on an empty stomach
Hunger significantly alters a person's decision-making ability, making them more impatient and more likely to settle for a small reward now than wait for a bigger reward in the future.... Read More...
Alzheimer’s disease risk gene APOE4 impairs function of brain immune cells
APOE4 increases the inflammatory response of human microglia while reducing cellular migration. The gene also impairs the metabolic activity of the immune cells. The findings show APOE4 has a profound impact on the basic functions of microglia.... Read More...
Violent video games blamed more often for school shootings by white perpetrators
Video games are often blamed as a cause of mass shootings, especially if the perpetrator is white. When it comes to perpetrators of other racial backgrounds, people are more likely to assume they are involved in violent criminal activities. Blaming gaming for school shootings perpetrated by white people, and thereby providing an unfounded excuse for their actions, is a sign of a larger racial issue. Similar excuses aren't extended to people of other racial backgrounds. Instead, they are viewed as more culpable for their crimes.... Read More...
Childhood behavior linked to taking acetaminophen (paracetamol) in pregnancy
Study finds an association between acetaminophen use during mid-to-late pregnancy and increased risk of hyperactivity, attention problems, and other behavioral deficits in young children. Boys appear to be more susceptible to the adverse effects acetaminophen use during pregnancy. However, the negative effects only seem to persist during the early years of life.... Read More...
Brain activity intensity drives need for sleep
Galanin expressing neurons are selectively active during rebound sleep. The expression of galanin increases after neuronal activity and sleep deprivation. The neuropeptide plays a critical role in sleep homeostasis.... Read More...
