Inhaled nanoparticles can cross a protective barrier that protects fetuses, finds study

Inhaled nanoparticles – human-made specks so minuscule they can't be seen in conventional microscopes, found in thousands of common products – can cross a natural, protective barrier that normally protects fetuses, according to Rutgers University scientists studying factors that produce low-birth-weight babies.

Little-known protein found to play a role in common neurodegenerative disorder

Scientists have known for years that amyloid fibrils - fibrous, ropelike structures formed by closely linked protein molecules - are present in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and likely play a role in the progression of these disorders.

Five different diseases attack language areas in the brain that cause primary progressive aphasia

There are five different diseases that attack the language areas in the left hemisphere of the brain that slowly cause progressive impairments of language known as primary progressive aphasia (PPA), reports a new Northwestern Medicine study.

Researchers uncover a new protective mechanism against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), commonly known as fatty liver disease, is a prevalent disease frequently seen in obese people. Having high fat content in the liver is detrimental as it is strongly associated with severe health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, and liver cancer.

Mutated gene found in breast cancer recurrences may help tumors to become more aggressive

A mutated gene found in more than 20% to 30% of breast cancer recurrences may help tumors become more aggressive and promote metastasis, according to a pair of new studies that uncover mechanisms behind these processes and point to new therapy targets.
