Scientists create a bioengineered 3D model that mimics the biology of two rare neuromuscular diseases

A scientific team supported by the National Institutes of Health has created a tiny, bioengineered 3-D model that mimics the biology of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and multifocal motor neuropathy, a pair of rare, devastating neuromuscular diseases.

Better understanding of hydrocephalus could lead to improved treatments

Hydrocephalus, or "water on the brain," occurs when the cerebral ventricles - four interconnected cavities of the brain that are filled with cerebrospinal fluid - become enlarged, but its cause is unknown in many cases.

Research shows tsRNA as a promising biomarker for early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most primary liver cancer. It is one of the most common and mortal cancer worldwide, especially in East Asia. Advanced HCC patients expect a significantly low 5-year survival rate as well as poor prognosis.
