Study reveals expanding gene therapy for rare disease that causes blindness

Marking Rare Disease Day, Strand Life Sciences, a subsidiary of Reliance Industries and a leading genomics research company, has launched the StrandOmics Portal, an innovative digital platform designed to assist doctors in diagnosing rare diseases more efficiently.

Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers employed long-term skin conductance measurements to distinguish between emotions. Volunteers were given videos representing frightening scenarios, family bonding, and humour, while their skin conductance was measured.

Large language models, a type of AI that analyses text, can anticipate the results of proposed neuroscience studies more correctly than human experts, according to a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers.

A groundbreaking study has revealed the critical role of gut bacteria in regulating stress responses through interactions with the body's circadian rhythms.

A recent study from UT Arlington showed that setting reminders can reverse some age-related memory deficits. The findings represent a significant breakthrough in tackling the cognitive issues that older persons confront, particularly in the context of prospective memory, which is the ability to remember to complete an intended activity at the appropriate time, such as taking medication or attending appointments.

The matter of what causes complicated neurological disorders like Alzheimer's or multiple sclerosis continues to perplex scientists and doctors, with unknowns impeding early diagnosis and successful treatment.

Researchers at Colorado State University discovered an alternative way for studying alterations during the DNA replication process in lab settings using genetically modified yeast. The novel methodology provides a clearer picture than current pharmacological methods for understanding cell cycle arrest, a fundamental mechanism critical to cancer treatment and genetic concerns.

Alzheimer's disease may cause brain damage in two stages, according to new research supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that uses sophisticated brain mapping methods.

Pancreatic cells, like human cells, have a limit to how much stress they can handle before they start to break down. Through overstimulation of these cells, certain stresses like inflammation and hyperglycemia lead to the onset of type 2 diabetes.

The majority of cancer deaths are caused by metastatic disease, which occurs when cancer spreads from the primary tumour to other areas of the body. and researchers understand how cancer cells escape the primary location to seed new tumours, it is unclear why some cancer cells produce new tumours decades later and others do not.
