Active lifestyle influences regenerative capacity of neurons after spinal cord injury

The influence of an active lifestyle on the regenerative capacity of the peripheral nervous system, that is, the set of cranial and spinal nerves that control motor and sensory functions, is described here for the first time, explains Ángel Barco, who has led the participation of the Institute of Neurosciences UMH-CSIC, in Alicante, in this international study.

Biochemical switches could be triggered to treat pathology of IBM, ALS and FTD

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have found that the enzymes ULK1 and ULK2 play a key role in breaking down cell structures called stress granules, whose persistence leads to toxic buildup of proteins that kill muscle and brain cells.

MUSC researchers find why some babies are born with malformed hearts

Almost one percent of all American babies are born with malformed hearts. Heart abnormalities are at once the most common and most deadly type of birth defect in the U.S.

Human iPSCs-derived mesenchymal stem cells could avoid ageing-related shortfalls

The use of primary mesenchymal stem cells is fraught with ageing-related shortfalls such as limited expansion and early senescence.

Sexual behavior could affect gut microbiome and immune system

A person's sexual behavior could affect their microbiome and immune system, potentially elevating their risk of HIV infection, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.

Scientists discover central role of cell 'skeleton'

All cells possess a cytoskeleton which allows them to move and maintain their shape. However, scientists recently showed that a part of this cytoskeleton called branched actin is also essential to cell proliferation: this actin transmits information to cells about the space around them, environmental chemical messages and therefore on whether they should proliferate.

Researchers map genetic mutation behind incurable disease

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have mapped the genetic mutation behind the incurable disease systemic mastocytosis.

Large-scale screen efficiently identifies drugs that are potent cancer-killers

UC San Francisco scientists have designed a large-scale screen that efficiently identifies drugs that are potent cancer-killers when combined, but only weakly effective when used alone.

Digital technologies help nonspecialist to offer mental health care in low-resource settings

Text messaging, mobile apps, and other digital technologies are being used in innovative ways to support nonspecialist health workers in increasing access to mental health care in low- and middle-income countries, according to a narrative review in the March/April issue of Harvard Review of Psychiatry.

Scientists develop technique to clear abnormal tau protein from human neurons

Harnessing a probe used to image the brain in diagnosing Alzheimer's disease and related forms of dementia, scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital have successfully cleared patient-derived brain cells of an abnormal protein associated with dementia and other neurogenerative disorders.

Newly developed approach efficiently assesses carcinogenicity of chemicals

Researchers from Boston University Schools of Medicine and Public Health have developed and evaluated a fast, accurate and cost-effective approach to assessing the carcinogenicity of chemicals--that is, whether exposure to a chemical increases a person's long-term cancer risk.
