Astrocyte neuron interactions in neurological disorders: Study
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 31 (ANI): Star-shaped cells called astrocytes may bear the brunt of the responsibility for exacerbating the symptoms of some neurodevelopmental disorders. Scientists have now identified a molecule produced by astrocytes that interferes with normal neuron development i

Research finds therapeutic drugs can render cancer cells weaponless
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Bonn [Germany], August 28 (ANI): The protective scent that tumour cells spray themselves with suppresses the immune system. It seems, however, that a medicine that has already been approved for other uses can render this weapon harmless.

Study: Untapped stem cell potential may help heal damaged spinal cord
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 23 (ANI): Scientists have identified a group of latent stem cells that respond to injury in the central nervous system of mice. If a similar type of cell exists in humans, they could offer a new therapeutic approach to treat brain and spinal cord injuries.
