New Research Links Gut Bacteria to Neurodegenerative Conditions
A new study establishes a link between specific bacteria species and physical manifestations of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and ALS.
Experimental Drug Shows Potential Against Alzheimer's Disease
Researchers have designed an experimental drug that reversed key symptoms of Alzheimer's disease in mice. The drug works by reinvigorating a cellular cleaning mechanism that gets rid of unwanted proteins by digesting and recycling them.
Processed Foods Might Promote Chronic Infections Linked to Chronic Disorders Such as Diabetes
Processed diets, which are low in fiber, may initially reduce the incidence of foodborne infectious diseases such as E. coli infections, but might also increase the incidence of diseases characterized by low-grade chronic infection and inflammation such as diabetes, according to researchers.
Common Supplement Betaine Treats Schizophrenia in Mice
A simple dietary supplement reduces behavioral symptoms in mice with a genetic mutation that causes schizophrenia. After additional experiments, including visualizing the fluorescently stained dancing edge of immature brain cells, researchers concluded that the supplement likely protects proteins that build neurons' cellular skeletons.
Bioprinting Skin and Bones During Surgery
Fixing traumatic injuries to the skin and bones of the face and skull is difficult because of the many layers of different types of tissues involved, but now, researchers are testing bioprinting these tissues during surgery.
Study suggests role of sleep in healing traumatic brain injuries
Sound sleep plays a critical role in healing traumatic brain injury, a new study of military veterans suggests.
Halting Cell Recycling (Autophagy) to Treat Cancer
Targeting and changing autophagy, otherwise known as cell recycling, has been linked to helping control or diminish certain cancers. Now, researchers have shown that completely halting this process in a very aggressive form of breast cancer may improve outcomes for patients one day.
Animal and Human Data Reveal New Target for Reversing Age-Related Decline
A new study shows that humans express a powerful hormone during exercise and that treating mice with the hormone improves physical performance, capacity and fitness. Researchers say the findings present new possibilities for addressing age-related physical decline.
Compound Slows Bone Loss and Extends Lifespan in Animal Studies, May Aid in Treatments to Slow Aging
Benzoxazole, the compound that slowed bone aging by up to 31% over the course of a year's treatment in the mice, was first identified as one of five compounds that extended nematode lifespan in the Lithgow lab in a study that appeared in Nature in 2011.
New Class of Antibiotics Kill a Wide Range of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
Scientists have discovered a new class of compounds that uniquely combine direct antibiotic killing of pan drug-resistant bacterial pathogens with a simultaneous rapid immune response for combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
