A recent study published in the journal Scientific Reports, by Nature, reveals a technique applied with mathematical modeling that could detect the presence of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, before their most characteristic symptoms appear. Both Alzheimer’s, as well as other neurodegenerative diseases, are very difficult to diagnose early. However, a group of Chilean researchers […]
Scientists from the Moscow State Psychological and Pedagogical University (MSUPE) studied the impact of quarantine on the biopsychological age of the disabled. It was established that the majority of those who went to work after confinement feel subjectively younger than a year ago, but the biological rhythm of aging increased. The results of the research […]
“WE MUST BE ABLE … TO PUT THE BRAKES ON HUMAN AGING.” THE IDEA THAT WE CAN EXTEND OUR LIVES far beyond a century conjures up images of humans stored in cryogenic chambers and decapitated heads preserved in jars, kept alive by humming machines – in other words, science fiction. But if a new study […]
A blind man has had his vision partially restored thanks to optogenetic therapy and protective glasses, the first successful case of such therapy in humans. The researchers treated a 58-year-old man who for 40 years suffered from retinitis pigmentosa, a neurodegenerative eye disease in which the loss of photoreceptors can lead to complete blindness. Retinitis […]
Nearly 500 million people have diabetes, but most are not receiving proper treatment, and more than half have yet to be formally diagnosed with the disease, according to new global research. Many people simply do not know that they have a condition that is relatively easy and inexpensive to treat, and that, if left untreated, […]
Researchers belonging to three groups of the CIBER for Cancer (CIBERONC) -coordinated by Alberto Muñoz, Alfredo Carrato and Atanasio Pandiella– have participated in a study published in Molecular Cancer in which they have determined a set of genes associated with changes in fibroblasts / exosomes that predict with greater precision what will be the evolution […]
