Researchers have discovered how cancer cells' cell replication is derailed, leading to rapid tumour expansion. The findings could help predict how cancer cells respond to chemotherapy and improve understanding of cancer evolution.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology is honoring distinguished ophthalmologists like Steven T. Charles, M.D., for their scientific contributions to preventing blindness and restoring sight worldwide. Other notable recipients include David Heiden, M.D., and William L. White, M.D., who have made significant impacts through humanitarian ...
A new study published by the American Academy of Ophthalmology suggests that taking metformin, a common diabetes medication, can lower the risk of age-related macular degeneration. Researchers found that patients who took metformin had half as many cases of AMD compared to those who did not.
A recent study by La Trobe University found that Australians are re-evaluating their relationship with alcohol, with younger adults being key drivers of change. The research revealed that 30% of Aussies have reduced their drink intake and 6% have quit drinking altogether.
Research explores effects of crude oil on native salmon populations, finding exposure causes toxic changes in hearts, brains, and performance abilities. Crude oil also leads to long-term consequences including mortality and brain damage.
Two studies using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) reveal altered retinal blood vessels in patients with Alzheimer's disease, even before symptoms appear. Researchers hope this new method will enable early detection and treatment of the condition.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology has received a $2 million gift from the Knights Templar Eye Foundation to establish a permanent research fund focused on pediatric ophthalmology. The fund will leverage the IRIS Registry to uncover optimal approaches to prevention and treatment for common and rare eye diseases affecting children.
Research finds that bigger stingless bee species can fly better in high-temperature conditions than smaller counterparts. This contradicts the well-established temperature-size rule, which predicts that ectotherms should be larger in cold climates and smaller in hot ones.
