Intestinal Mucosa Fungus Can Affect Lung Health

The composition of the microbiome, the countless bacteria, fungi and viruses that colonize our body surface, skin, intestines or lungs, makes a decisive contribution to human health or disease. However, biological mechanisms that cause inflammations in the microbiome are still largely unknown. More...

Blood Test Detects Brain Damage Years before Symptoms

Alzheimer's disease is a major cause of dementia that destroys brain cells and tissue. As the brain damage spreads, it leads to symptoms such as confusion, memory loss, and diminishing capacity to function. Eventually, the person can no longer lead an independent life. More...

Unique Form of Chronic Sinusitis Diagnosed in Older Patients

Older patients with a diagnosis of chronic sinusitis, a disease of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses that often persists over many years, have a unique inflammatory signature that may render them less responsive to steroid treatment. More...
