A mouse model of chronic stress, depression, and anxiety has been used to investigate their impact on the effectiveness of drugs that lower cholesterol. Research has shown that individuals suffering…
Researchers have identified a drug that inhibits the growth of meningiomas, the most common type of primary intercranial tumor. Meningiomas are tumors that form in the meninges, for which treatment…
Researchers have demonstrated the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool can be used to treat muscular dystrophies. Muscular dystrophies are inherited conditions that cause muscles to weaken, causing a progressive loss of…
It may be possible to treat anxiety and alcohol use disorder in adults using the gene-editing tool, CRISPR-dCas9. Researchers at the University of Illinois, Chicago have reported successful results using…
Cancer can easily spread from the site of the primary tumor to distal regions of the body when cancer cells detach from the tumor. They travel to distal sites via…
AI systems have been developed for assisting with the diagnosis of medical conditions, but training those algorithms requires large cohorts of patient data. That typically requires hospitals to release medical…
