Directly converting skin cells to brain cells yields 1,000% success
Posted by ArielTechGeek 2 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
In a potentially major breakthrough for regenerative medicine, scientists at MIT have developed a way to convert skin cells directly into brain cells extremely efficiently, without needing to go through the intermediate step of converting them to stem cells first.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Stem Cells, Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPS), Cells, MIT, Brain, neurons, Regenerat
When experienced researcher Renato Aguilera happened across the chemical structure of a tried-and-true antimalarial drug one day, he thought it might effectively fight cancer. He was right, and he has the research, the patent, and the pharma company to prove it.Continue ReadingCategory: Cancer, Illnesses and conditions, Body & MindTags: Cancer, Treatment, clinical trials, University of Texas

Researchers at Northwestern University have made a breakthrough in identifying a way for Alzheimer's disease to be treated far more effectively in the future – using the brain's own immune cells.Continue ReadingCategory: Alzheimer's & Dementia, Brain Health, Body & MindTags: Alzheimer's disease, Northwestern University
The world's first "biological computer" that fuses human brain cells with silicon hardware to form fluid neural networks has been commercially launched, ushering in a new age of AI technology. The CL1, from Australian company Cortical Labs, offers a whole new kind of computing intelligence – one that's more dynamic, sustainable and energy efficient than any AI that currently exists – and we will
New weight loss mechanism blocks formation of white fat cells in mice
Posted by ArielTechGeek 16 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Scientists in China have found a new potential drug target for weight loss. Blocking a protein called CD44 has been shown to protect against obesity in mice on a high-fat diet, specifically by suppressing the formation of white fat cells.Continue ReadingCategory: Obesity, Illnesses and conditions, Body & MindTags: Obesity, Diabetes, Weight, Weight Loss, Ozempic, China, Health, Fat cells

Scientists at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) have developed a new blood test for pancreatic cancer, one of the most deadly forms of the disease. Tests showed up to 85% accuracy in detection, even in early stages.Continue ReadingCategory: Cancer, Illnesses and conditions, Body & MindTags: Cancer, Pancreatic cancer, Oregon Health and Science University, Blood, Diagnosis
Existing cardiac drug helps keep cancer from spreading
Posted by ArielTechGeek 34 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
One of cancer’s deadliest tricks is its ability to spread to other organs. An existing cardiac drug has now been found to reduce the risk of metastasis by dissolving circulating clusters of breast cancer cells in patients.Continue ReadingCategory: Cancer, Illnesses and conditions, Body & MindTags: Cancer, Breast cancer, Metastasis, ETH Zurich, Drug, Drugs, clinical trials, Cells
Preventing immune system burnout when fighting chronic illness & cancer
Posted by ArielTechGeek 39 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Scientists have uncovered a mechanism for reinvigorating the immune system to stop it from flagging when it’s fighting long-term conditions like chronic infections and cancer. The discovery could make treatments more effective and improve clinical outcomes.Continue ReadingCategory: Illnesses and conditions, Body & MindTags: Chronic illness, The Immune System, Immunotherapy, Peter Doherty Inst
