New research involving a devastating genetic heart condition suggests that mutations in adhesion proteins—molecules that should support the heart—apparently play a role in disrupting the integrity of the organ's outermost ...
A team of researchers has found that applying a specially designed microneedle patch could benefit damaged heart after heart attack. In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, the group explains the related ...
(Medical Xpress)—A team of researchers from the U.S., Germany and Israel has found that mice are able to ward off fungal lung infections because their immune systems cause fungal spores to die. In their paper published ...
Working with mice, researchers at Johns Hopkins have contributed significant new evidence to support the idea that high doses of cocaine kill brain cells by triggering overactive autophagy, a process in which cells literally ...
