A surge of monkeypox cases has been detected since May outside of the West and Central African countries where the disease has long been endemic. Most […]
Spiral wave teleportation theory offers new path to defibrillate hearts, terminate arrhythmias
A spiral wave of electrical activity in the heart can cause catastrophic consequences. One spiral wave creates tachycardia — a heart rate that’s too fast — and multiple spirals cause a state of disorganized contraction known as fibrillation. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology offer a new method to disrupt spiral waves that uses […]

Antibody profiles of internal viral proteins predict severe COVID-19 outcomes
Most research on immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 vaccine development has focused on antibody responses to the spike protein and other viral surface proteins. But antibodies that recognize the virus's internal proteins could also be important for immunity and disease outcomes, according to a new study led by University of Pittsburgh, Georgia Institute […]
Study finds breast cancers with low levels of HER2 protein are not a distinct subtype of the disease
The treatment of breast cancer abounding in the protein HER2 was revolutionized with the introduction of drugs like trastuzumab (Herceptin) that target the protein. When researchers discovered that breast cancers with lower levels of HER2 often respond to a trastuzumab-and-chemotherapy drug conjugate, they wondered whether such tumors represent a distinct subtype of breast cancer, with […]
Nearly all known biological pathways in the brain are linked to Alzheimer's disease
Nearly six million older adults have Alzheimer's disease in the United States, a number expected to double by 2050. Already the sixth leading cause of death, Alzheimer's disease is a complex neurodegenerative disease that causes memory loss, confusion, poor judgment, depression, delusions and agitation that robs people of their ability to live independently. Currently, the […]
Older adults with untreated sight problems may have higher dementia risk
Older adults with untreated sight conditions may be at increased risk of dementia, according to a new systematic review and meta-analysis of 16 studies involving 76,373 participants. The results of the study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Aging and Mental Health, highlight a need for further research to examine the impact of correcting sight problems […]
