A recently published study conducted by researchers at the University of Birmingham has identified biomarkers in the saliva of Rugby players that accurately predict concussion. Concussion is a common injury…
Image Source: University College London Prions are a type of protein that are present on the membranes of many cells, which can cause proteins in the brain to fold abnormally…
When there is an injury to the spinal cord and neurons are damaged, patients are often paralyzed and there is little hope for recovery as neurons in the spinal cord…
New research has uncovered a potential new treatment option for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that results in the gradual loss of motor neurons. Motor…
Researchers have used single-cell RNA sequencing to study the initial processes involved in infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which causes tuberculosis, and have provided new insights into the infection process that…
Scientists in Japan have successfully differentiated enterocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells (HiPSCs) which can be used to create a more accurate model of the human small intestine. An…
Scientists have found an experimental small molecule is effective at restoring protein synthesis in the neurons of Alzheimer’s disease mice and helped to restore memory and improve cognitive function. Alzheimer’s…
A team of researchers at the Institute for Stem Cell Research and Regenerative Medicine at University Hospital Duesseldorf has developed a stem cell-based cell culture for studying nonalcoholic fatty liver…
Stem cell transplants have been previously used to cure two patients of HIV. In both cases, the patients received a dose of stem cells taken from a donor who lacked…
A team of researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Department of Chemistry has developed a new polymer-based vehicle for delivering DNA- and RNA-based therapies for the treatment of…
