Less is more: early short-course rapamycin effective in sustained anti-aging effects

A new study shows that a brief treatment period could have the same anti-aging efficacy and duration of effect but without the potentially serious adverse effects of chronic administration.

Moffitt study uses computer modeling to demonstrate the impact of skin homeostasis on driver and passenger mutations

All normal human tissues acquire mutations over time. Some of these mutations may be driver mutations that promote the development of cancer through increased proliferation and survival, while other mutations may be neutral passenger mutations that have no impact on cancer development.

Study uncovers molecular changes in the brain’s blood vessels caused by Alzheimer’s susceptibility gene

Recent breakthroughs have revealed a great deal about Alzheimer's disease, but researchers have yet to paint a complete picture of how genetic risk for the illness causes the brain damage that ultimately leads to memory loss and cognitive decline.

Brain activity patterns during sleep shed light on the neurobiology behind 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome

The brain activity patterns during sleep shed light on the neurobiology behind a genetic condition called 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22q11.2DS) and could be used as a biomarker to detect the onset of neuropsychiatric disorders in people with 22q11.2DS.

Vitamin D mediates crosstalk between COVID-19 and osteoporosis

Researchers identify and characterize the targets of Vit D on COVID-19 and osteoporosis.

New treatment may be effective in addressing the long-term effects of preeclampsia

Preeclampsia is a condition that affects the placenta during pregnancy and is dangerous for both the fetus and the mother.

Study reinforces the potential of Huntington’s treatments that target glia cells

Huntington's disease – a hereditary and fatal genetic disorder – has long been considered a neuronal disease due to the permanent loss of medium spiny motor neurons, the death of which over time is responsible for the clinical hallmarks of the disease: involuntary movements, problems with coordination, cognitive decline, depression, and psychosis.
