Researchers have developed an inhalable RNA-based drug that targets the overactive white blood cells that cause lung damage during severe infection, reducing inflammation and scarring. With human clinical trials expected next year, the drug may soon be… Continue reading Inhaled drug reduces lung damage by targeting overactive immune cells
Researchers have successfully stimulated hair growth in mice using microRNA to genetically manipulate hair follicle stem cells, meaning that balding pate may one day be sporting a mane of luscious locks.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Hair, Bald… Continue reading Molecular manipulation stimulates hair growth in mice
UK researchers have, for the first time, identified a genetic pathway in the brain that plays a key role in controlling anxiety, opening the door to the development of more effective treatments in the future.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTa… Continue reading First discovery of genetic brain pathway a relief for anxiety sufferers
A new large-scale genetic analysis has revealed a set of small RNA molecules, called microRNAs, in human pancreatic islet cells strongly associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The important discovery will guide future studies into the early detection a… Continue reading MicroRNA discovery opens up new target for novel diabetes treatments
In a stunning demonstration of human endeavor, less than one year after a new virus swept across the world triggering a pandemic, we developed several effective vaccines that protect those inoculated from hospitalization and death. However, one key que… Continue reading New data suggests mRNA COVID-19 vaccines prevent infection
Biotechnology company Moderna has revealed more data from its now-completed Phase 3 COVID-19 vaccine trial. The vaccine is reportedly 94.1 percent effective at preventing COVID-19 and 100 percent effective at preventing severe cases of the disease. An … Continue reading Moderna says vaccine prevents severe COVID-19, files for FDA approval
Can you imagine a near future where your family doctor can effectively prick your finger and test you for a dozen or so types of cancer? Currently, cancer detection is a time-consuming and expensive process. Existing methods of screening for cancer usually involve taking a whole lot of blood and …read more
