Researchers find a promising approach to remove amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease starts with a sticky protein called amyloid beta that builds up into plaques in the brain, setting off a chain of events that results in brain atrophy and cognitive decline. The new generation of Alzheimer’s drugs -; the first proven to change the course of the disease -; work by tagging amyloid for […]

An ActRIIA fusion protein got FDA approved for PAH treatment

Mar 28 2024Reviewed by Maria Osipova On March 26th, the US FDA granted approval for Merck’s WINREVAIR™ (sotatercept-csrk), marking a significant milestone in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) treatment. PAH, characterized by elevated blood pressure in the arteries connecting the heart and lungs, poses a grave risk of heart failure. While pulmonary vasodilators have improved patient […]

99mTc-maraciclatide holds potential as a non-invasive test for early-stage endometriosis

The presentation summarized the preliminary findings from patients with known or suspected endometriosis who were imaged with a SPECT-CT camera and subsequently underwent planned laparoscopic surgery, a key-hole surgical procedure to establish the presence, absence and location of endometriotic lesions. The imaging findings were compared to the surgical and histology reports and indicate that 99mTc-maraciclatide […]

Eating fatty food before surgery may affect memory-related cognitive function in older adults

Eating fatty food in the days leading up to surgery may prompt a heightened inflammatory response in the brain that interferes for weeks with memory-related cognitive function in older adults – and, new research in animals suggests, even in young adults. The study, building upon previous research from the same lab at The Ohio State […]

New “GPS nanoparticle” delivers a genetic punch to the protein implicated in tumor spread

A newly developed “GPS nanoparticle” injected intravenously can home in on cancer cells to deliver a genetic punch to the protein implicated in tumor growth and spread, according to researchers from Penn State. They tested their approach in human cell lines and in mice to effectively knock down a cancer-causing gene, reporting that the technique […]

Study finds plant proteins improve rest, animal proteins may disrupt

In a recent study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers report that protein intake from plant sources may improve sleep quality. In contrast, increased animal protein intake worsens sleep quality. Study: Protein intake and its association with sleep quality: results from 3 prospective cohort studies.

New method simplifies production of limb progenitor cells from fibroblasts

In a collaborative study, researchers from Kyushu University and Harvard Medical School have identified proteins that can turn or “reprogram” fibroblasts -; the most commonly found cells in skin and connective tissue -; into cells with similar properties to limb progenitor cells. Publishing in Developmental Cell, the researchers’ findings have enhanced our understanding of limb development and have set […]

Prioritizing biologically motivated approaches in Mendelian randomization studies

Mendelian randomization, a powerful tool in medical research, helps us understand whether certain factors truly cause disease. This technique uses genetic variations as “natural experiments” to reveal cause-and-effect relationships. However, choosing the proper genetic variations is crucial for accurate results. Think of a train network where the genetic variation is the starting point, the exposure […]

Identifying antiviral protein IFN-γ as a potential biomarker for Long COVID

SARS-CoV-2 triggers the production of the antiviral protein IFN-γ, which is associated with fatigue, muscle ache and depression. New research shows that in Long COVID patients, IFN-y production persists until symptoms improve, highlighting a potential biomarker and a target for therapies.

Scripps Research scientists develop an antibody that blocks lethal snake toxins

Scripps Research scientists have developed an antibody that can block the effects of lethal toxins in the venoms of a wide variety of snakes found throughout Africa, Asia and Australia. The antibody, which protected mice from the normally deadly venom of snakes including black mambas and king cobras, is described on February 21, 2024, in […]
