Histamine could be a key player in depression, according to study in mice. Bodily inflammation dampens levels of a ‘feel-good molecule’ and antidepressants’ ability to boost them, according to new research in mice. The findings, from researchers at Imperial College London and University of South Carolina, add to mounting evidence that inflammation, and the accompanying release […]

Protein from the liver may cause Alzheimer’s disease in the brain: The study, published in the prestigious PLOS Biology journal and tested on mouse models, identified that a probable cause of Alzheimer’s disease was the leakage from blood into the brain of fat-carrying particles transporting toxic proteins. Lead investigator Curtin Health Innovation Research Institute (CHIRI) Director Professor […]

Scientists from the University of Bradford have discovered a DNA protein ‘switch’ that could help in the treatment of cancer and dementia. The findings, published this week in the prestigious journal Nature Communications, were described by the lead author Prof Sherif El-Khamisy as “significant”. They involve the identification of a mechanism that regulates the creation […]

Pandemic proofing our future: A project developing a test and treatments that would be effective against multiple viral threats could become a cornerstone of the world’s response to future pandemics. University of Queensland virologist Dr Kirsty Short has been awarded $1.37 million from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHRMC) to use her understanding of the immune […]

The use of opioids for pain relief in patients awaiting hip and knee replacement surgery increased dramatically during the pandemic according to new research from the University of Aberdeen. Published in the BMJ Quality & Safety, the study found that the numbers of patients using opioids while waiting for surgery increased by 40% compared to pre-pandemic levels. Opioids such as morphine and tramadol are […]
