Scientists have uncovered the mechanisms of how pain in infancy alters how the brain processes pain in adulthood. Research is now indicating that infants who spent time in the neonatal intensive care unit show altered pain sensitivity in adolescence. These results have profound implications and highlight the need for pre-emptive and post-operative pain medicine for [...]
Using clever chemistry, researchers have pinpointed the enzyme target of a drug group that stops the progression of the devastating disease Friedreich’s ataxia in mice and may do the same for humans. The findings help advance this treatment approach one step closer toward human clinical trials, which will be a welcome event for disease sufferers [...]

In order to be able to ward off disease pathogens, immune cells must be mobile and be able to establish contact with each other. Scientists have discovered a mechanism in an animal model revealing how HIV, the AIDS pathogen, cripples immune cells: Cell mobility is inhibited by the HIV Nef protein.
In a study of healthy men and women, dentistry researchers found that dental plaque accumulation did not result in a change in total white blood count, a known risk factor for adverse cardiac events. However, in black males the researchers noted a significant increase in the activity of neutrophils, the most common type of white [...]
