  • New body-fluid biomarker for Parkinson’s disease discovered

    New body-fluid biomarker for Parkinson’s disease discovered

    Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that is usually diagnosed in its late stage on the basis of clinical symptoms, mainly motor disorders. By this point, however, the brain is already severely and irreparably damaged. Moreover, diagnosis is difficult and often incorrect because the disease takes many forms and symptoms overlap with other disorders. Researchers from the PRODI Center for Protein Diagnostics at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, and the biotech company betaSENSE…

  • AI helps unravel a cause of Alzheimer’s disease and identify a therapeutic candidate

    AI helps unravel a cause of Alzheimer’s disease and identify a therapeutic candidate

    A new study found that a gene recently recognized as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease is actually a cause of it, due to its previously unknown secondary function. Researchers at the University of California San Diego used artificial intelligence to help both unravel this mystery of Alzheimer’s disease and discover a potential treatment that obstructs the gene’s moonlighting role.

    The research team published their results on April 23 in the journal Cell.

    About one in nine people aged 65…

  • Chimpanzee stem cells offer new insights into early embryonic development

    Chimpanzee stem cells offer new insights into early embryonic development

    Chimpanzee naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can now be grown in cellular cultures, reveals a recent study. They successfully created chimpanzee early embryo models, called ‘blastoids,’ and found that the inhibition of a specific regulatory gene is essential for chimpanzee PSC self-renewal. They also developed a feeder-free culture system, eliminating the need for mouse-derived feeder cells as support. These findings provide valuable insights into primate embryology and could advance stem…

  • This injected protein-like polymer helps tissues heal after a heart attack

    This injected protein-like polymer helps tissues heal after a heart attack

    Researchers have developed a new therapy that can be injected intravenously right after a heart attack to promote healing and prevent heart failure.

    The therapy both prompts the immune system to encourage tissue repair and promotes survival of heart muscle cells after a heart attack. Researchers tested the therapy in rats and showed that it is effective up to five weeks after injection.

    The research team, led by bioengineers at the University of California San Diego and chemists at…

  • In Down syndrome mice, 40Hz light and sound improve cognition, neurogenesis, connectivity

    In Down syndrome mice, 40Hz light and sound improve cognition, neurogenesis, connectivity

    Studies by a growing number of labs have identified neurological health benefits from exposing human volunteers or animal models to light, sound and/or tactile stimulation at the brain’s “gamma” frequency rhythm of 40Hz. In the latest such research at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory and Alana Down Syndrome Center at MIT, scientists found that 40Hz sensory stimulation improved cognition and circuit connectivity and encouraged the growth of new neurons in mice genetically…

  • Immune cells drive congenital paralysis disease

    Immune cells drive congenital paralysis disease

    Patients with spastic paraplegia type 15 develop movement disorders during adolescence that may ultimately require the use of a wheelchair. In the early stages of this rare hereditary disease the brain appears to play a major role by over-activating the immune system, as shown by a recent study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. The study was led by researchers at the University of Bonn and the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE). These findings could also be…

  • Why our waistlines expand in middle age: Stem cells

    Why our waistlines expand in middle age: Stem cells

    It’s no secret that our waistlines often expand in middle-age, but the problem isn’t strictly cosmetic. Belly fat accelerates aging and slows down metabolism, increasing our risk for developing diabetes, heart problems and other chronic diseases. Exactly how age transforms a six pack into a softer stomach, however, is murky.

    Now preclinical research by City of Hope®, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States and a leading research…

    ICC judges ordered to review Israel’s challenge of jurisdiction – Middle East Monitor

    Appeals judges at the International Criminal Court yesterday ordered a lower panel to reconsider Israel’s objections to the court’s jurisdiction over arrest warrants issued against Israeli leaders for their genocidal war on Gaza, Reuters reports.

    The appeals chamber said the court had not properly weighed challenges by Israel to its jurisdiction and the legality of arrest warrant requests against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence…
