Researchers followed buckwheat plants through their growing season, measuring how much of the healthy compounds rutin and quercitrin they stored in leaves and flowers. They also counted how strong the plant’s antioxidant power was and tracked a pigment called fagopyrin that can become toxic under li
Researchers have tested a method that uses principal component analysis (PCA) to filter unwanted signals from spinal cord fMRI scans. The technique, called SpinalCompCor, picks out noise by looking at a region outside the spinal cord and cerebrospinal fluid. It then keeps only the most important com
Researchers looked at many people to see how often doctors have diagnosed respiratory allergies and whether those allergies are linked to problems with the voice. They also wanted to know if men and women show different patterns in this connection. The study was cross‑sectional, meaning it collecte
Researchers have long known that autoimmune diseases can raise the risk of heart problems. But what about brain bleeds? Specifically, a type called subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). It's rare but can be very serious. A recent study tried to find out if autoimmune diseases might play a role in causing S
Researchers in Sweden are looking into whether blood tests can help predict pregnancy complications, specifically preeclampsia, which is a type of high blood pressure during pregnancy. They are focusing on a specific time frame, between 24 and 29 weeks of pregnancy. The goal is to find out if certai
Researchers followed 200, 000 health workers for three decades to see how different eating patterns affect heart disease. The study shows that simply cutting carbs or fats does not guarantee protection. If people ate a low‑carb diet filled with refined sugars and processed foods, their risk of heart
Researchers want to know why stem‑cell treatments help some people with inflammation but not all. The focus is on mesenchymal stromal cells, or MSCs, which can lower immune reactions. Many clinical trials have shown that the treatments are safe, but it is still unclear how well they work because sci
Researchers found that a specific protein, Adamts5, plays a big role in muscle healing. When this protein is missing, muscles don't heal as well after an injury. This is because the protein helps control inflammation and scarring, which are important for muscle repair. In an experiment, scientists
Researchers have been looking into how different metal compounds affect cells. They used a special tool called Raman spectroscopy to study this. This tool helps see changes inside cells without needing any labels. They tested three types of metal compounds: copper(II), manganese(II), and silver(I).
Researchers have been digging into how sleep and body chemistry might be linked to brain function in older adults. It's known that poor sleep can lead to cognitive issues, but the exact biological reasons are still a mystery. A recent study tried to figure out if certain chemicals in the blood play
