Disturbed gut flora during the first years of life is associated with diagnoses such as autism and ADHD later in life. This is according to a study led by researchers at the University of Florida and Linköping University and published in the journal Cell. The study is the first forward-looking, […]

Protein imbalances that increase brain cell excitability may explain why individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) who also experience seizures demonstrate more rapid cognitive decline than those who do not. These imbalances may be present in the brains of individuals before the onset of AD symptoms. The new findings, from a […]

Artificial Intelligence researchers have taken a major step forward in using AI in the fight against cancer. In partnership with the National Cancer Institute, or NCI, researchers from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Modeling Outcomes for Surveillance using Scalable Artificial Intelligence, or MOSSAIC, are building on their […]

Queensland researchers have become the first in Australia to use human stem cells to generate fully functioning skin tissue in a laboratory, a significant step towards better treatments for severe burns and wounds. The skin tissue, produced by The University of Queensland’s Frazer Institute and Metro North Health’s Herston Biofabrication […]

Researchers at The University of Queensland have revealed the crucial role of saturated fatty acids in the brain’s consolidation of memories. Dr Isaac Akefe from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute has uncovered the molecular mechanism and identified the genes underlying the memory creation process, opening the door to a potential treatment […]
