Using CRISPR-Cas9 as an intervention to protect the heart from ischemia-reperfusion damage
A team of researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center has found that it is possible in mice to protect the heart from ischemia-reperfusion using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system. In their paper published ...

Genetic lineage tracing identifies cardiac mesenchymal-to-adipose transition in an arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy model
ACM is a hereditary cardiomyopathy characterized by fibrofatty replacement of the ventricular myocardium, a high risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, and progressive heart failure. However, ...

New research suggests nose picking could increase risk for Alzheimer's and dementia
Griffith University researchers have demonstrated that a bacteria can travel through the olfactory nerve in the nose and into the brain in mice, where it creates markers that are a tell-tale sign of Alzheimer's disease.

Team discovers second stem cell type in mouse brain
In the brain of adult mammals, neural stem cells ensure that new nerve cells (neurons), are constantly formed. This process, known as adult neurogenesis, helps mice maintain their sense of smell. A research team led by Dr. ...

Potential new treatment for angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma
A type of blood cell cancer called angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) can develop as mutations accumulate with age in the stem cells from which the T cells in the blood develop. However, the underlying mechanism by ...

A 'weak spot' discovered that potentially makes multi-drug resistant tumors vulnerable
One of the greatest challenges facing cancer researchers is to understand why some patients don't respond to treatments. In some cases, tumors exhibit what is known as multidrug resistance (MDR), which significantly limits ...
