A study by researchers the National Institutes of Health and the Uniformed Services University (USU) has identified a new form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) that affects individuals during childhood. ALS,…
Researchers have identified 64 regions of the human genome associated with a higher risk of developing bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is a heritable mental illness with complex etiology that is…
Cancer treatments often fail because cancer cells develop resistance to chemotherapy drugs and the invasive characteristics of cancer tumor cells increase in response to chemotherapeutic processes. Currently, treatments to suppress…
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (IPSCs) have the ability to turn into any cell in the body; however, IPSCs are very sensitive, and they can be difficult to grow in culture….
UCLA researchers have shown that a one-time stem cell therapy treatment can help to repair the brain damage caused by stroke and dementia in mice. According to the World Health…
Researchers at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine have identified an enzyme that prevents cancer by enabling the breakdown of proteins that drive cell growth. The discovery came when investigating…
Two microRNA molecules have been identified that play an important role in the maintenance of populations of cancerous stem cells that drive breast cancer growth and lead to relapse after…
Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute have identified a gene that plays a role in the metastasis of cancer to the lungs. The LRRN4CL gene, which had not previously been…
