Oct. 2, 2024 People with diabetes take insulin to lower high blood sugar. However, if glucose levels plunge too low -- from taking too much insulin or not eating enough sugar -- people can experience ...
Sep. 5, 2024 Staging of patients with early pancreatic cancer is inaccurate as much as 80% of the time, according to a new study. The finding underscores the urgent need for advancements in diagnostic technology ...
Aug. 22, 2024 Research in mice sheds light on how thyroid hormone alters wiring in the brain. Findings reveal that thyroid hormone syncs up the brain and body to drive exploratory behavior. Researchers say their ...
Aug. 10, 2024 Researchers found a 'neuro-cancer axis' may promote spread of breast cancer. They also found that an FDA-approved anti-nausea medication may prevent ...
July 25, 2024 Scientists created new tools to study brain messenger proteins called neuropeptides in the brains of behaving animals, discovering they are the ...
June 24, 2024 The cost of nutritious food and the lack of access to it are of significant concern to U.S. consumers. New public opinion poll and expert analysis ...
June 19, 2024 Researchers have developed a 3D genomic profiling technique to identify small precancerous lesions in the pancreas -- called pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanINs) -- that lead to one of the ...
