In a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience, work led by Dr Yanfeng Zhang, a former postdoctoral researcher in the Cragg lab now a lecturer at the University of Exeter, and Professor Stephanie Cragg, revealed that cholinergic interneurons in the striatum operate a dynamic, ongoing scaling depression of striatal dopamine release.
Researchers at the Kennedy Institute have developed a new computational framework that allows simultaneous analysis of gene expression and mechanical forces within cells and tissues, uncovering insights into how the interplay between transcriptional and mechanical signals guides processes such as cell fate decisions or the formation of spatially distinct tissue compartments.
The release of the government's ME/CFS delivery plan is imminent, but the lack of a strategic call for these complex, chronic conditions has left patients frustrated and demanding action.
Researchers at the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences have made an important advancement in the field of single-cell transcriptomics by developing a novel bead design that reduces errors in DNA synthesis and improves the reliability of gene expression measurements.
Results of a survey on the level of trust that Black, Asian and ethnic minority patients have with NHS primary care service providers reveal alarming levels of discrimination and mistrust.
Researchers have published the first paper mapping clinical ethics questions raised by new metagenomic techniques for diagnosing disease in clinical practice.
A new study has found that targeted psychological interventions can significantly enhance long-term resistance to misinformation. Dubbed \u201cpsychological booster shots,\u201d these interventions improve memory retention and help individuals recognize and resist misleading information more effectively over time.
Researchers have unveiled primary trial results that show encouraging advances in HIV treatment driven by immune-based therapies. New antibody therapies could offer alternative to current treatments.
Scientists have found another clue about how brain health is maintained and how this might be affected by ageing and Alzheimer\u2019s disease, according to a new paper.
A new study has found little evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of physician associates (PAs) and anaesthetists associates (AAs) in the UK, raising critical questions about the rapid expansion of these roles in the NHS.
New research hub THRIVING Food Futures set to accelerate the UK\u2019s journey to net zero by designing and evaluating new food policies to support healthy, sustainable diets across the UK.
A novel study by researchers at Oxford Population Health reveals previously unknown protein links to neurodegenerative diseases, including eight proteins associated with Alzheimer\u2019s disease.
The Goding lab working in collaboration with the University Rey Juan Carlos show that fatty acid uptake activates an AXL-CAV1-\u03b2-catenin axis to drive melanoma invasiveness.
In her article, journalist Lydia Denworth explores how endometriosis, often associated with pelvic pain, can impact the entire body, featuring insights from Professor Krina Zondervan on the broader effects of this often misunderstood condition.
Two new research papers, published in Nature Genetics, jointly led by RDM\u2019s Professor Hugh Watkins, have further advanced our understanding of the genetic basis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
A grant from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) is funding a study to improve healthcare treatment and care for patients with broken bones in three Sub-Saharan Africa countries.
A study led by University of Oxford researchers has developed an advanced physics-based AI-driven tool to aid traumatic brain injury (TBI) investigations in forensics and law enforcement. The findings have been published today in Communications Engineering.
Medications routinely given to people experiencing psychosis could be worsening some of their cognitive function, including memory and concentration, according to a new analysis of existing research.
