A signaling pathway has been identified that can be targeted in a novel treatment for leukemia. Leukemia is caused by leukemic stem cells which give rise to abnormal blood cells…
The current model used to study the human blood brain barrier has been discovered to have a serious flaw: one which casts previous research using the model into question. The…
Infection with SARS-CoV-2 often sees patients temporarily lose the senses of smell (anosmia) and taste (ageusia), but why this occurs with COVID-19 is not well understood. A study of patients…
New research into Alzheimer’s Disease suggests the disease is more diverse than previously thought and consists of at least three different subtypes, each of which presents differently in the brain….
New research suggests that following a brain injury, the healing process that sees new brain cells generated to replace damaged cells could make the development of glioblastoma more likely. Glioblastoma…
Patients with bipolar disorder (BD) experience manic and depressive mood swings, which can be life threatening. While the symptoms can be managed with lithium, only a third of BD patients…
Many COVID-19 patients experience neurological symptoms after being infected with SARS-CoV-2, leading researchers to speculate that the virus is able to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and enter the brain….
Two trials using CRISPR-Cas9 to treat patients with sickle cell anemia and β-thalassemia have produced promising results. The patients have not had any vaso-occlusive crises following treatment and no longer…
Brain stem cells are alerted by inflammation caused by bacterial infections in any part of the body and are prepared for activation, according to a new study conducted by researchers…
