Stem cell therapy trial reverses "irreversible" damage to cornea
Posted by ArielTechGeek 5 days ago (https://newatlas.com)Heart attack damage could be reversed by reactivating dormant gene
Posted by ArielTechGeek 54 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Heart attacks are dangerous not just because of the initial event, but the long-term damage afterwards. Now scientists have discovered a dormant gene that could be reactivated to regenerate heart tissue, preventing the progression to heart failure.Continue ReadingCategory: Heart Disease, Illnesses and conditions, Body & MindTags: Heart, Heart Failure, Heart attack, Protein, Regenerative, Rege

They discovered abnormalities in the white matter surrounding the brain, particularly in the frontal lobe, similar to CTE.Continue ReadingCategory: Brain Health, Body & MindTags: Brain, Soccer, American Football, NFL, Traumatic Brain Injur
Binge drinking as a young adult causes permanent brain damage decades on
Posted by ArielTechGeek 110 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Binge drinking in early adult years fundamentally changes how the brain's neurons communicate, in what scientists equate to a faulty gas pedal in a car that needs more pressure applied to "go." What's more, it remains unchanged for decades, raising the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease later in life. While there's not much we can do about the past, it may help earlier intervention and treatm

RSV found to infect nerve cells & may cause inflammatory nerve damage
Posted by ArielTechGeek 425 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Thought only to infect the respiratory tract, new research has proved for the first time that the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), very common in young children, can also penetrate nerve cells directly, triggering excessive inflammation and potentially leading to nerve damage. The findings underscore the potential long-term effects of RSV and highlight the importance of preventive measures.Cont
