In experiments in mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say they have developed a way to successfully transplant certain protective brain cells without the need for […] From improving outcomes in children with brain cancer to lowering the risk of damage to the brainstem in children with central nervous system tumors, a […] Males are straightforward while females are complicated. This false dichotomy prompted a decades-long exclusion of female animals from research out of fear that their fluctuating […] The ARID1A tumor suppressor protein is required to maintain telomere cohesion and correct chromosome segregation after DNA replication. This finding, reported by Wistar researchers in […] After patient RDS (identified only by his initials for privacy) suffered a stroke, he experienced a rare and unusual side effect: when he saw something […] A study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has revealed the effects of the stress of parenting in the brains of both mothers […] Researchers at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center provide the first concrete evidence for the long-held belief that sick mitochondria pollute the cells they’re supposed to be […] University of Calgary researchers at the Cumming School of Medicine (CSM) led by Drs. Donna Senger, PhD, Paul Kubes, PhD, and Stephen Robbins, PhD have […] An enzyme induced by stress to help reduce production of damaging free radicals is also used by liver cancer to regulate two major cell proliferation […]
Transplanted brain stem cells survive without anti-rejection drugs in mice: By exploiting a feature of the immune system, researchers open the door for stem cell transplants to repair the brain
Two studies show promise, safety of proton therapy in the brain in children with cancer: Research expands evidence of proton benefit
A diabetes drug promotes brain repair — but it only works in females: Accounting for sex differences in research animals is vital for the development of better treatments as drug shows promise in female mice alone
Role of cancer protein ARID1A at intersection of genome stability and tumor suppression: Inactivation of ARID1A results in loss of telomere cohesion and selects against gross chromosome alterations, preserving genomic stability in ARID1A-mutated cancers
