A new study suggests that Increased allergic reactions may be tied to the corticotropin-releasing stress hormone (CRH). These findings may help clarify the mechanism by which CRH induces proliferation of mast cells (MC) - agents involved in the development of allergies in the human nasal cavity.

Scientists have proposed a new human height inheritance model that accounts for the interaction between sex, genes and the environment that influence adult human height.

A new study has found that expectant women are more likely to give birth early if they have high blood levels of polybrominated diphenyl ethers, chemicals used in flame retardants, compared with those who have limited exposure.

Researchers have developed a mass spectrometry-based technique capable of measuring samples containing thousands of proteins within just a few minutes. It is faster and cheaper than a conventional blood count.

Researchers have studied the molecular profile of exosomes, produced by cancer stem cells (CSCs), which play a key role in the process of carcinogenesis and metastasis in the blood of patients with malignant melanoma.

Chemists have succeeded in converting several classes of flat nitrogen-containing molecules into the desired three-dimensional structures by light-mediated synthesis.

Researchers have created a novel therapeutic vaccine that uses a patient's own tumor cells to train the immune system to locate and kill cancer cells.

Treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors was associated with slower cognitive decline over five years, and 27% lower mortality in patients with Alzheimer's disease compared with the control group.

A study has shown that long-term infection and chronic inflammation drives accumulation of mutations in the stem cells that produce our blood and immune cells, leading to the emergence of genetically distinct subpopulations as we age.

Researchers have revealed that α-solanine, a toxic compound found in potato plants, is a divergent of the bitter-tasting α-tomatine, which is found in tomato plants. It is hoped that these research results can be used in potato breeding as a basis for suppressing the synthetization of poisonous compounds.
