If true, it has great implications both for individuals and for society as a whole. There are around 400,000 Australians are already living with dementia – and that number is expected to reach around 850,000 by 2058. Even a small increase in dementia risk could mean tens of thousands more Australians are living with the …

New Delhi: US scientists have developed a new drug that can turn SARS-CoV-2 against itself and prevent death virus to infect humans. Researchers at the Scripps Research Institute believe the drug, called NMT5, is likely to be effective against emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2.

Think back a few months, and while many of us were feeling more relaxed about Covid-19, another virus arrived that threatened to cause a new pandemic. It was a potentially deadly virus that had traveled north from Africa, literally circled a dance floor in Europe, and then ricocheted around the world. Australia saw its first …

Dementia is a first cause of death in Australia. Although dementia mainly affects older people, it is a preventable part of aging. In fact, we all have the power to reduce our risk of developing dementia, no matter your age. Research shows your risk of developing dementia could be reduced by up to 40% (and …

A study of nearly 400 samples taken from men with monkeypox reveals a high prevalence of the virus on skin, throat and anal swabs compared to blood or urine – with detections in semen in the medium- and high viral loads in skin and anal swabs. Two other new studies detail the risk of transmission …
Using demographic information, brain imaging test results and genetic biomarkers, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed an algorithm that can help provide people who volunteer for studies on aging information on the risk everyone faces of developing dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease. Published September 30 in the Journal of …

In a recent study published on bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers explored the crystal structure of monkeypox virus (MPX) (MPXV) and the complex of VP39, a 2′-O-RNA methyltransferase (MTase) and sinefungin, a pan-MTase inhibitor . Study: The structure of monkeypox virus 2′-O-ribose methyltransferase VP39 in complex with sinefungin forms the basis for the design of the …
A study by researchers from the Human Brain Project (HBP) has identified a new marker that can predict the clinical course of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) using magnetoencephalography. This marker can be measured in the brain during its resting state and highlights the importance of cerebral flexibility for ALS patients. The study was …

LOS ANGELES — Scientists are still trying to figure out why many breast cancer survivors experience troubling cognitive issues for years after treatment. Inflammation is a possible culprit. A new long-term study of elderly breast cancer survivors published today in the Journal of Clinical Oncology and co-led by UCLA researchers adds important evidence to this …
