Blueberry extract may aid wound healing

Experimental Biology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Treating wounds with an extract taken from wild blueberries may improve healing, according to a new study. The research will be presented this week in Philadelphia at the American Physiological Society’s (APS) annual meeting at Experimental Biology 2022.

Antioxidant, inflammation levels may reveal new diagnostic tool for breast cancer

Experimental Biology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new study that analyzes levels of antioxidants and stress markers in the blood could lead to a new diagnostic tool for breast cancer. The research will be presented this week in Philadelphia at the American Physiological Society’s (APS) annual meeting at Experimental Biology 2022.

COVID-19 vaccine-associated menstrual symptoms reported in non-menstruating people

Experimental Biology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Many people who do not usually menstruate reported experiencing breakthrough bleeding or other period symptoms after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, according to new findings from an online survey by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis.

Omega-3s could boost immunotherapy’s cancer-fighting power

Experimental Biology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Findings from a new study performed in mice suggest that omega-3 fatty acids could help immunotherapy and other treatments do a better job at fighting cancer. Immunotherapies, which stimulate the body’s own immune system to attack cancer, have revolutionized cancer treatment, but they don’t work for every patient.

Plant compound shows promise for alleviating food allergies

Experimental Biology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers combined advanced computational methods with experimental studies to gain new insight, at the cell level, into how the plant compound formononetin might be used to treat food allergies. With nearly 10% of the world population affected by food allergies — which are sometimes life-threatening — new treatments are critically needed.

Researchers harness probiotics to deliver Parkinson’s disease treatment

Experimental Biology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers have engineered probiotic bacteria that can synthesize the dopamine precursor L-DOPA, a powerful mainstay treatment for Parkinson’s disease. Preclinical tests show that the new treatment approach is not only safe and well-tolerated but also eliminates side effects that eventually develop when L-DOPA is taken orally.

Yo-yo dieting and food insecurity may raise heart disease risk

Experimental Biology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Fluctuations in body weight resulting from drastically cutting and increasing calories may lead to physiological changes that raise the risk of heart disease or diabetes later in life, according to a study being presented at the American Physiological Society annual meeting during the Experimental Biology (EB) 2022 meeting, held in Philadelphia April 2–5.

The American Association for Anatomy (AAA) addresses structural racism, questionable ethics, and complex history of anatomical sciences

American Association for Anatomy
Peer-Reviewed Publication

In a special issue of the journal The Anatomical Record published today, the American Association for Anatomy (AAA) is proactively addressing the complex, painful, and sometimes unethical history of the Anatomy discipline, including legacy anatomical collections, some of which have questionable ties to Nazi Germany, body snatchers in England, and slavery and segregation in the United States.
