Background Mechanical stress on the heart is commonly considered the sole stimulus explaining the synthesis and release of circulating natriuretic peptides and their derivatives. While one of the most ...

My job, like many of yours, demands more from my brain than it is biologically capable of. The philosophical argument that phones, the internet, and AI tools are extensions of our minds Why humans ...

Biomarker characteristics in each phenotype were evaluated. Results Phenotype 1 presented the lowest value of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitive C reactive protein, ...

Scientists at UBC have discovered a new type of brain cell, called ovoid cells, which play a key role in object recognition memory. This breakthrough could lead to new treatments for memory-related ...

Markers of LA myopathy included P wave abnormalities from 12-lead ECG, NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide), and LA volume and strain parameters from the echocardiogram. The primary ...

The communication system between your gut and brain is called the gut-brain axis. They’re connected both physically and biochemically in a number of different ways. They may even influence each ...

Developed by Australian company Cortical Labs, the CL1 fuses human brain cells with silicon hardware to create a dynamic, learning neural network. This innovative system, known as Synthetic ...

After earmarking a major chunk of change last year to bulk up in peptide production, European CDMO CordenPharma is putting its money where its mouth is. CordenPharma will spend half of a planned ...

Researchers identified a gene that seems to help slow brain aging in women, and studied links between hormone therapy, menopause and Alzheimer’s. By Gina Kolata Women’s brains are superior to ...

A protein involved in Alzheimer’s disease progression has been linked to normal brain ageing, raising the prospect that researchers could target it to stave off age-related mental decline.
