While the majority of tissues in the human body can regenerate after injury, some of the most important ones can’t. That includes axons, the long nerve fibers that pass signals between neurons. But now, researchers at Temple University have found that … Continue reading Molecule injections help repair spinal cord injuries in mice
The human body is a bit cruel sometimes. “Use it or lose it” applies to muscles, but unfortunately so does “don’t use it too much or lose it.” Now, researchers at Temple University have tested a drug that appears to reverse muscle damage from overuse i… Continue reading FDA-approved drug could help patch up repetitive strain injuries
Though advances in medicine have greatly improved the lives of HIV sufferers and made the virus much more manageable, a permanent cure has remained elusive. Scientists have now made a significant breakthrough in this area, using the CRISPR-Ca… Continue reading Scientists combine CRISPR and drug therapy to cure HIV infection in mice for the first time
Microorganisms like bacteria and fungi are increasingly becoming resistant to our best drugs, which is hurtling us towards a terrifying future where once-easily-treated infections become potentially life-threatening again. But now researchers… Continue reading Drug-resistant infections could be starved of nutrients using existing medicines
