In a major development, researchers in Australia have successfully performed the first implantation of an early prototype bionic eye with 24 electrodes. A patient with profound vision loss due to retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited condition, has now re…
A study has discovered how tamoxifen-resistant breast-cancer grows and proliferates. It also identifies an experimental agent that might offer a novel targeted therapy for tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer.
For years, doctors treating those with HIV have recognized a relationship between how faithfully patients take the drugs they prescribe, and how likely the virus is to develop drug resistance. New research is helping to explain why those differences ex…
New research has established the first global benchmarks for assessing lung function across the entire life span. The lung growth charts will help healthcare professionals better understand lung disease progression and help raise awareness of lung dise…
An educational program for parents helps to reduce pressure on children to eat—which may reduce the child’s risk of obesity, according to a new study.
Preemptive cognitive training —- an early intervention to address neuropsychiatric deficiencies —- can help the brain function normally later in life, a team of researchers has found through a series of experiments on laboratory rats. Their finding…

Stem cells isolated from fat are being considered as an option for treating tissue damage and diseases because of their accessibility and lack of rejection. New research shows that this is not as straightforward as previously believed, and that fat-der…
Researchers describe new molecular interactions behind the inhibition of TGF beta-signaling.
People who carry a “G” instead of an “A” at a specific spot in their genetic code have roughly a six-fold higher risk of developing certain types of brain tumors a study has found.
