Chronic sinus inflammation appears to alter brain activity  Science CodexView Full coverage on Google News

A sweeping meta-analysis of data from the United Kingdom Biobank has found a different genetic basis for chronic pain in women compared to men.

Scientists have made a pivotal breakthrough in understanding the way in which cells communicate with each other.

The millions of people who have chronic sinusitis deal not only with stuffy noses and headaches, they also commonly struggle to focus and experience depression and other symptoms that implicate the brain's involvement in their illness. New research links sinus inflammation with alterations in brain activity, specifically with the neural networks that modulate cognition, introspection and response to external stimuli.

People with Crohn's disease are typically treated with powerful anti-inflammatory medications that act throughout their body, not just in their digestive tract, creating the potential for unintended, and often serious, side effects.

Now that hygiene and hand-washing etiquette is at the front of all our minds, it's worth asking - should we use hand dryers or paper towels?

Researchers tracked 20,000 cells to find out what made each one unique and to learn how the cells coordinate to build a leaf. Collaboration with a visual...

The Exopharm (ASX:EX1) share price is sliding today after the company's osteoarthritis animal treatments showed no effect on the rats studied.

A bacon roll may be off the menu after researchers suggested during the past week that eating as little as 25g of processed meat a day – equivalent to a single rasher – is associated with a 44 per cent increased risk of developing dementia.

Lacunar stroke has a substantial heritable component, with 12 loci now identified that could represent future treatment targets. These loci provide insights into lacunar stroke pathogenesis, highlighting disruption of the vascular extracellular matrix (COL4A2, LOX, SH3PXD2A, GPR126, HTRA1), pericyte differentiation (FOXF2, GPR126), TGF-β signalling (HTRA1), and myelination (ULK4, GPR126) in disease risk.

Orthopaedic researchers are one step closer to preventing life-long arm and leg deformities from childhood fractures that do not heal properly.

Humans are the smartest living creatures on Earth. Well, maybe not "smart" entirely, but we're at least the most advanced creatures when it comes to brain development, and scientists really want to know why. Evolution, sure, but the actual nuts and bolts of why our brains develop differently than those of other great apes and chimpanzees have been a mystery for a very long time. Now, new research published in the…
