Stimulating the epileptic brain breaks up neural networks to prevent seizures
Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) treats epilepsy by detecting seizures and intervening with a jolt of electric current. Over time, most patients find their seizures become fewer and further between. Now, for the first time, ...

Naturally occurring mechanism of cancer drug-resistance may itself be a treatment target
The use of proteasome inhibitors to treat cancer has been greatly limited by the ability of cancer cells to develop resistance to these drugs. But Whitehead Institute researchers have found a mechanism underlying this resistance—a ...

Genetic differences help distinguish type 1 diabetes in children from 'type 1.5' in adults
A multi-center team of researchers led by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has discovered a genetic signature that could help distinguish an adult-onset form of diabetes sharing many type 1 diabetes (T1D) characteristics ...
