Scientists uncover why long COVID can cause pain

Experimental Biology
Reports and Proceedings

A new animal study has provided important insights into how COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 — the virus responsible for COVID-19 — can lead to long-term pain. The new findings also point to a potential therapy for COVID-related pain.

Animal study shows safety of using CBD and THC with opioids

Experimental Biology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Findings from a new animal study suggest that cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) might be safe for use with opioid pain relievers. Although more studies are needed, the results suggest that these compounds might be a low-risk way to reduce the dose of opioids needed to relieve pain.

Exercise could help reduce severity of serious cancer complication

Experimental Biology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new study has identified yet another benefit of keeping up your exercise routine. In experiments performed with mice, researchers found that exercising prior to developing cancer was associated with slower tumor growth and helped reduce the effects of a cancer complication known as wasting syndrome, or cachexia.

Cardamonin shows promise for treating aggressive breast cancer

Experimental Biology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Cardamonin — a natural compound found in the spice cardamom and other plants — could have therapeutic potential for triple-negative breast cancer, according to a new study using human cancer cells. The findings also show that the compound targets a gene that helps cancer cells elude the immune system.

Mineral supplement could stop fatty liver disease progression

Experimental Biology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Results from a preclinical study add new evidence that a multi-mineral dietary supplement known as Aquamin could be a simple and effective way to reduce the long-term health consequences of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Aquamin, which is derived from calcified red marine algae, is rich in calcium, magnesium and 72 other minerals and trace elements.

A prune—or six—a day may keep inflammation at bay

Experimental Biology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A study in postmenopausal people suggests eating nutrient-rich prunes every day may be beneficial to bone health, reducing inflammatory factors that contribute to osteoporosis. The research will be presented this week in Philadelphia at the American Physiological Society’s (APS) annual meeting at Experimental Biology 2022.

Smokers less likely to survive a heart attack

Experimental Biology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Smokers have a lower chance of surviving a heart attack than non-smokers, according to new data compiled by researchers at Jordan University of Science and Technology in Irbid.

Virtual population model predicts and stops kidney damage in Black Americans

Experimental Biology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers have successfully used a virtual population to replicate a clinical trial that examined kidney damage in Black Americans, according to a new study at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.

Exercise improves health markers in young female survivors of childhood trauma

Experimental Biology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

New research shows a progressive exercise training program mitigates some physiological and psychological effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACE) in otherwise healthy young women.

Five minutes of daily breath training improves exercise tolerance in middle-aged and older adults

Experimental Biology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Despite the myriad known benefits of exercise, many middle-aged and older adults struggle to meet physical activity recommendations. New research finds potential for high-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) to help this population transition to a healthier lifestyle.
