Hormone replacement therapy may help restore immunity in menopausal women

Peer-Reviewed Publication Queen Mary University of London A study led by researchers at Queen Mary University of London has found that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may help reverse changes in the immune system caused by menopause, potentially booting immune health. The research reveals new evidence that menopause significantly alters women’s immune system, increasing their vulnerability to

A hierarchical short microneedle‑cupping dual‑amplified patch enables accelerated, uniform, pain‑free transdermal delivery of extracellular vesicles

Peer-Reviewed Publication Shanghai Jiao Tong University Journal Center image: A bio-inspired dual-amplified patch (MN@EV/SC) was fabricated by integrating extracellular vesicle-loaded microneedles with a soft suction chamber for effective transdermal delivery. The MN@EV/SC system achieved an exceptional penetration depth of 290 μm, while minimizing plasma corticosterone levels with short microneedles, ensuring patient comfort through pain-free application. This

Polyherbal dietary supplement MD-1 ameliorates severity of type 2 diabetes mellitus in high-fat diet-fed C57BL/6J mice by attenuating adipose tissue inflammation

Peer-Reviewed Publication Xia & He Publishing Inc. image: Tissue sections were incubated with rabbit polyclonal anti-TNF-α antibody, followed by HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit polyclonal secondary antibody. The protein was visualized by hematoxylin counterstain. Representative photomicrographs were shown at ×100. (a) Normal pellet diet control- Normal adipose tissue architecture; (b) HFD control – Presence of adipose tissue

Study reveals genetic link between childhood brain disorder and Parkinson’s disease in adults

Peer-Reviewed Publication King’s College London Errors in a gene known to cause a serious neurodevelopmental condition in infants are also linked to the development of Parkinson’s disease in adolescence and adulthood, according to new research. The study, published in the Annals of Neurology, looked at a gene called EPG5. Errors in this gene are already known to cause
