Macrophages are like the body's cleanup crew. They rush to the scene of a stroke to help. But sometimes, they make things worse.

Scientists have been tinkering with different metal compounds to fight cancer. They've found that some of these metals can trigger a specific kind of cell death that gets the immune system's attention. This type of cell death is called immunogenic cell death, or ICD for short. Researchers have creat
Blood clots, or thrombus, can be tricky to deal with. Traditional medicines often miss their mark and cause unwanted bleeding. So, scientists cooked up a clever solution using tiny particles called nanoparticles. These aren't your average nanoparticles; they're equipped with a special targeting syst
Cancer patients need precise kidney function tests to make sure they get the right treatment. The kidneys play a big role in how the body handles drugs. Doctors need to know how well the kidneys are working to decide on the right dose of medicine. This is especially important for cancer patients. I

COVID-19 has been a tough opponent for the world. It's not just about vaccines and medicines anymore. Researchers have come up with a new way to fight it. They've created a fancy model called SEI1I2I3QCR. This model is not your average math problem. It uses something called fractional-order delay di
First, let's talk about what this study is all about. Researchers wanted to see if brain signals, specifically those measured by something called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), were consistent when people did powerful, quick muscle contractions. They looked at three different points in tim
Older Latinos in the US often face higher risks of heart disease. This isn't just about genes or age. It's also about how much they've adopted American culture, a process called acculturation. This isn't just about language or food. It's about how they live their daily lives, like how much they move
Patients with advanced chronic diseases, not related to cancer, often rely on primary care for treatment. Early involvement of palliative care can greatly improve their quality of life and ease physical discomfort. To better support these patients, a new tool called the KOPAL conversation guide was
