Once a pathogen has been associated with an illness, researchers have reported difficulty displacing these pre-existing theories. [3] [4] 3.
A recently published analysis by BCG found at least 75 "AI-discovered molecules" have entered clinical trials with many more expected. "That they are now routinely going into clinical trials is a ...
A new study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine shows people who exercise just 30 minutes a day are four times more likely to survive a potentially fatal COVID-19 infection ...
In 2009, researchers at the Medical Research Council discovered a naturally occurring variant of a prion protein in a population from Papua New Guinea that confers strong resistance to kuru. In the study, which began in 1996, [ 31 ] researchers assessed over 3,000 people from the affected and surrounding Eastern Highland populations, and ...

Colored scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of SARS-CoV-2, speculated in 2020 as being the first virus to create Disease X [1] [2] [3]. Disease X is a placeholder name that was adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in February 2018 on their shortlist of blueprint priority diseases to represent a hypothetical, unknown pathogen.
The cancers have to bypass the self recognition system, survive the difference in nutrients and induce the correct response in the new hosts to begin the cycle anew. [ 6 ] Transmissible cancers behave as true parasites, relying primarily on transport systems like direct contact, environmental transport and vectors, rather than hematogenous and ...
