researchers "have to be able to measure glymphatic function in people,” said Dr. Jeff Iliff. He is with the University of Washington and has helped lead waste-clearance research. The question is whether the new study might point to ways ...
It is important for us to knowhow to prevent us from being hurt in earthquake . The most effective way is to depend on ourselves. We can get everything ready before it happens . We must keep enough food and drinking water with us . When it happens keep calm and dont run about .follo...
Finally, behind therapeutic innovations, next years will bring out new endpoints that will allow us to better define endpoints of interest in the setting of AKI (Table 1), better report the prevalence of AKI/CKD/ESRD and overall survival, and improve our tools to measure actual real-time GFR...
The efficacy measure was the increase in the percentage of hairs in the anagen, or growth phase of the hair cycle. This is the time during which the hair follicle is actively growing the hair shaft. After 6 months, the percentage of anagen hairs in the caffeine group had increased by 10.5...
Nuclear waste remains dangerous for 250,000 years, which greatly increases the security problem attached to its potential for use in nuclear weapons. The nuclear industry argues that, as an electricity generator that does not produce greenhouse gases, nuclear power should have a role in combating ...
Gold’s focus was the hypothalamus—a primitive structure deep in the brain that hasn’t changed much through evolution. It is thought to be responsible for keeping the body in “homeostasis” by monitoring and balancing important functions like body temperature, blood pressure, our need for food...
(Did I just make up a word, that must add extra points to the purpleness of my prose.) My mother always did say that I liked to hear myself talk, I imagine purple prose is a dead giveaway to such a weakness. (Just for good measure I threw in a comma splice, I know how ...
8. Blood Sugar Regulation N-acetylcysteine (NAC) may benefit blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity, especially for people with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes. High blood sugar and obesity contribute to inflammation in fat tissue. This can result indamage or destruction of insulin rec...
A mature, infected tick can pass on Lyme to a larva that’s latched on for a feed and gets more than it bargained for. (That same tick could later bite and infect a deer – or you.) And a lesser-known effect of climate change is that mice are multiplying and moving into new are...
A previously described BFP force-clamp assay was used to measure TCR–pMHC bond lifetimes in a range of constant forces at room temperature2. Briefly, pMHC was coated onto streptavidin-conjugated glass beads via biotin-streptavidin coupling. A pMHC-coupled bead was attached to a biotinylated RBC ...
