Immune cells in ALS patients: predicting disease progression
Swedish researchers have discovered that by measuring immune cells in the cerebrospinal fluid when diagnosing ALS, it is possible to predict how fast the disease may progress.
What parts of a tumour are linked to muscle wasting?
US researchers found that the severity of muscle wasting from cancer is related to the type, size and location of the tumour, in mice.
Deteriorating neurons: the source of human brain inflammation in Alzheimer’s disease
US researchers administered a therapy to Alzheimer’s patient-derived neurons in the lab, eliminating deteriorating cells, leading to positive consequences for the remaining healthy cells.
Snapshots of a mouse brain show OPCs nibbling on neurons
A US researcher studied 3D structures of brain cells and connections, revealing new role for oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), in mice.
Novel nanoparticles deliver innovative cancer chemoimmunotherapy
University of Pittsburgh researchers have designed cancer-fighting nanoparticles that co-deliver a chemotherapy drug and a novel immunotherapy
Experimental mRNA vaccine protects against all 20-subtype influenza viruses
US researchers have tested mRNA-based vaccine against influenza viruses, with promising results in animal models, that pave the way for clinical trials.
The future of drug development: AI tailors artificial DNA
Swedish researchers have designed synthetic DNA that controls a cells’ protein production using AI.
Cardiac regeneration: a new electrical therapy for CVD
US researcher from the University of Houston is the first to report a novel cell therapy process for heart regeneration, that conducts electricity throughout the heart to enable rhythmic heartbeat and repair diseased hearts.
Researchers find breast cancer protein that could predict chemotherapy sensitivity
Researchers have identified a protein that, when present in high amounts in breast cancer tumours, is an indicator of whether DNA-damaging therapies will work or not.
Genetic cause of ALS and dementia repaired by RNA-targeting strategy
US scientists have developed a potential medication for the genetic cause of ALS and dementia, that eliminates the mutated segments of RNA.
Sino Biological announces construction of its new US-Based centre for bioprocessing
Sino Biological announced the formal signing of a lease with Hines and initiation of construction on its new Centre for Bioprocessing (C4B) at its Levit Green facility in Houston, US.
Does treating adolescent acne with systemic antibiotics have unintended consequences on the skeleton?
US researchers unmask the consequences of treating adolescent acne with systemic antibiotics; as it can lead to altered profiles of circulating bile acids that reduce osteoblast function and bone mass accrual.
Biovac and IVI sign ground breaking deal for the manufacturing of OCV
Biovac signs deal with IVI to develop and manufacture oral cholera vaccine (OCV) for African and global markets.
