“Treat your gums” is the slogan for Gum Health Day 2022, a worldwide awareness campaign organised by the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP).
A team of researchers from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital has developed a novel, machine learning–based technique to explore and identify relationships among medical concepts using electronic health record data across multiple healthcare providers.
Cigarette smoke has been shown to deleteriously affect human health. For example, degenerative disc diseases are increasingly linked to cigarette smoking.
Researchers from The Australian National University have identified a gene called TLR7 that, when over-activated, is responsible for causing lupus, an autoimmune disease that can be life-threatening in severe cases.
An international team of researchers has identified DNA mutations in a gene that senses viral RNA, as a cause of the autoimmune disease lupus, with the finding paving the way for the development of new treatments.
A recent paper posted to the Public Library of Science (PLOS) ONE journal showed that plasma levels of chromogranin A (CgA) could predict death in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.
We speak with postdoctoral researcher Erola Pairo-Castineira about her recent work which aimed to find the genetic factors that may predispose individuals to critical COVID-19 and learn how COVID-19 affects cells in the body.
Researchers investigated the longevity and intensity of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine immune response in patients suffering from immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.
A variant of the CTLA-4 gene associated with autoimmune disease was found to be more frequent in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who experienced an exceptionally high response to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy and higher immune-related side effects than in a comparable cohort of lung cancer patients and healthy individuals, according to data presented during the […]
New findings from the ongoing Drug Repurposing for Effective Alzheimer’s Medicines (DREAM) study suggest that certain rheumatoid arthritis drugs may lower incidence of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias in people with cardiovascular disease.
