Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, and Parkinson’s disease are among the neurodegenerative diseases that are characterized by the buildup of abnormal proteins.

The researchers then demonstrated that specific neurons and synapses along this pathway are highly activated when mice expect and experience pain relief, even in the absence of medication.
During the process of embryonic development, hundreds of specialized cells known as myoblasts fuse to become skeletal muscles.
Six out of eleven nonhuman primates who received an inoculation against the 1918 flu virus, which was prevalent a century ago, reportedly withstood exposure to H5N1, one of the worst viruses now circulating in the globe. On the other hand, six uninfected monkeys in the control group that were infected with the H5N1 virus died from the illness.
Researchers can now discern orientation and other minute characteristics in the nanostructures of biological systems that were previously unseen thanks to a new imaging technology developed by the Lew lab.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are another name for forever chemicals. These compounds persist in the environment because of their strong carbon-fluorine chemical interactions.
This new study offers a broadly useful technique to improve nanobodies’ performance. Artificially created antibody fragments, known as nanobodies, are around 10 times smaller than regular antibodies.
The protein dystrophin, absent in people with muscular dystrophy, will subsequently begin to be produced by the additional genetic code.
Two to three per cent of people worldwide suffer from OCD, a prevalent and debilitating mental illness. OCD affects over two million people in the United States.
Researchers at the University of Iowa, the Broad Institute of MIT, Harvard, and Harvard have now created a gene-editing method that effectively fixes the most prevalent mutation affecting 85% of patients
