Existing treatments for eczema, which affects about 17 percent of children in developed countries, are expensive or have side effects. A new study suggests a different approach to eczema, one that stimulates a natural brake on the allergic attack, made by T regulatory cells in the skin. Source: A new tactic for eczema?

This simple, fast and convenient technique could help realize liquid biopsy diagnostics — a less invasive procedure than the current gold standard: tumor biopsies.

To better understand these processes, researchers often use computer simulations, but accurate models are challenging and computationally expensive. Researchers demonstrate how a straightforward modification in a computer model leads to […]

Researchers investigated the links between marketing and media exposure and the preference for fast food in Brazil, China, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Russia. Kids who easily identified the logos of international brands were […]

Medical researchers recently found that a specific manipulation of receptors in the nervous system for the neurotransmitter dopamine impairs chronic pain in male mice, but has no effect on females. Source: Pain's origins may be significantly different […]
