The journal has added several Asian researchers to its Editorial Board, including Professor Huan-Yao Lei as the first Asian Editor. An Asian office will open at NCKU Medical Center in Taiwan, increasing visibility of EBM and SEBM throughout Asia Pacific scientific communities.
A comprehensive gene atlas has been created to understand drug addiction, revealing five molecular pathways common to four different addictive substances. The atlas is based on an integrative meta-analysis of scientific literature and provides a more complete picture of the genetic factors underlying addiction.
A recent study found that individuals who purchase contact lenses online are less likely to follow FDA-recommended eye care practices. Online purchasers are also more likely to experience discomfort and vision problems due to incorrect prescriptions.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have created a three-dimensional picture of the PIK3CA enzyme, often mutated in various cancers. The study reveals how mutations affect the enzyme's activity and interactions with other proteins.
The study evaluated the Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program's effects on managing arthritis through exercise. The results showed significant improvements in pain, fatigue, and physical function, with continued benefits when participants maintained program participation at home.
Researchers at Princeton University found a new biological mechanism that enables ciliate cells to pass on acquired traits to their offspring, bypassing their DNA genetic program. This discovery has implications for understanding cellular processes and natural regulatory mechanisms.
A new study from the University of Michigan found that educational programs can significantly lower cardiac symptoms, help with weight loss and physical activity in female heart patients over 60. The research suggests that group programs are more effective for weight loss and self-directed programs are better for symptom management.
A team of researchers from Case Western Reserve University, VA and NASA Glenn Research Center has unveiled a method for developing mechanically-reinforced polymer nanocomposites. The approach uses a process to assemble nanoparticles into a three-dimensional network before filling it with a polymer, resulting in compatible materials. Th...
A new UCLA AIDS Institute study found that newly homeless youth are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior if they lack supervision and social support. Drug use also plays a significant role in this behavior, particularly among females living in nonfamily settings.
A new study published in Arthritis Care & Research found that specific strength training exercises led to significant prolonged relief of neck muscle pain in women. In contrast, general fitness training resulted in only a small amount of pain reduction. The study suggests that supervised high-intensity dynamic strength training may be ...
The amfAR Mathilde Krim Fellowship program awards $1 million to bright young scientists working on prevention and treatment solutions for HIV/AIDS. Recipients include researchers studying HIV Tat-mediated transfer, TRIM5 modulation, biophysical studies of integrase-DNA complex, and morphogenesis of HIV-1 particles.
Research identifies variations in cancer, enabling more precise treatment; childhood cancer experience differs from adults, with teens facing stigma and discrimination.
