Northwestern University-led researchers have created the first highly mature neurons from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), a feat that opens new opportunities for medical research and potential transplantation therapies for neurodegenerative diseases and traumatic injuries.
New research has revealed that the tau protein, which is important in the development of Alzheimer's disease, is also involved in normal learning processes in the healthy brain, potentially providing a target for future drug therapies.
Glioblastoma is the most lethal and malignant adult brain cancer that may arise from the neuroglial stem or progenitor cells. Certain gene mutations or those with a known history of other cancers and radiation therapy may predispose patients to develop brain cancer. Tumour relapse is invaria
New research has revealed how the tau protein, a critical element in the formation of Alzheimer's disease, is also involved in normal learning processes in the healthy brain, potentially providing a focal point for future drug therapies.
Researchers at UCSF have developed a novel, potentially life-saving approach that may prevent antibodies from triggering immune rejection of engineered therapeutic and transplant cells.
German firm Ethris is a global leader in delivering mRNAs directly to the respiratory system including administration by inhalation. The transaction of the deal is expected to get completed within 60 days from the date of signing of the agreement.
The study, which was published in the journal 'Integrative Cancer Therapies', found patients with cancer benefited from music therapy as it brought down their levels of anxiety and discomfort.
The most lethal form of cancer both domestically and globally is lung cancer. Patients have very limited options as a result of the failure of several of the currently accessible medications. Bacterial therapy has been a promising new approach to treating cancer, however even though this tre
According to a research published in the journal 'Scientific Reports' bacterial therapeutics mixed with other therapy modalities could increase treatment efficacy while minimizing side effects.
Investigators from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai have identified how biological pacemaker cells--cells that control your heartbeat--can "fight back" against therapies to biologically correct abnormal heartbeat rates. The research also uncovered a new way to boost the effectivenes
Neuromuscular disorders affect millions of people worldwide. Now a discovery made at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute of Montreal (IRCM) opens the door to the development of targeted therapies.
According to a new study published in the journal 'Integrative Cancer Therapies', music therapy reduces levels of pain and anxiety in cancer patients and sickle cell disease patients.
