Colonization of subventricular neurogenic niche by leukemia cells prevents the formation of new neurons

The subventricular neurogenic niche is a region of the brain where tumor cells can hide from chemotherapy treatment to reappear later, causing relapses in patients with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and preventing the formation of new neurons, as demonstrated by research led by Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM).

Researchers find possible window of opportunity to target astrocyte abnormalities during ALS treatment

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects as many as 30,000 people in the United States, with 5,000 new cases diagnosed each year. It weakens muscles over time, impacting physical function and ultimately leading to death.

WVU researcher unravels role of STAT5 protein in the development of multiple sclerosis

A human immune system is a lot like the board game Mouse Trap: it's a Rube Goldberg system of interacting parts. Only instead of a falling ball causing a tiny diver to leap into a tub - which, in turn, springs a trap on some plastic mice - proteins trigger other proteins to activate immune cells and direct them toward germs.
