New research in suggests that the protein Efr3a regulates the BDNF-TrkB signaling pathway, which plays an important role in regulating learning and memory...
In a Phase I clinical trial, heart failure patients treated with patches made from their muscle cells showed improved exercise capacity and heart function after one year. Stem cell patch-based therapy may be a viable heart failure therapy and should be validated in larger clinical trials, researchers conclude.
