Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified one of the reasons why the childhood cancer neuroblastoma becomes resistant to chemotherapy. The findings are significant for how future treatments should be designed. The results have been published in Science Advances.
A large study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that people with Alzheimer's disease can now be identified before they experience any symptoms. It is now also possible to predict who will deteriorate within the next few years. The study is published in Nature Medicine, and is very timely in light of the recent development of new drugs for Alzheimer's disease.
The first six months are crucial to the success of psychotherapeutic interventions for adolescents. According to a recently completed doctoral thesis, the frequency of intervention should be high at the initial stages of treatment.
The new system can increase reproducibility in cerebral organoid research and shows promise for lowering levels of cellular stress
Women are at their greatest risk for depression during their childbearing years, and according to a recent study
Depending on age, humans need 7 to 13 hours of sleep per 24 hours. During this time, a lot happens: Heart rate, breathing and metabolism ebb and flow; hormone levels adjust; the body relaxes. Not so much in the brain.
