The positively charged nanoparticle polyamidoamine generation 3 (P-G3) can be specifically targeted to either visceral or subcutaneous fat, and affects both types of fat in different ways, researchers from Columbia University reported in two papers recently published.
Researchers from Columbia University presented novel knock-in mouse models, designed to replicate de novo sequence variations in the HCN1 voltage-gated ion channel, p.G391D and p.M153I, which are associated with severe drug-resistant neonatal- and childhood-onset epilepsy, respectively.
The positively charged nanoparticle polyamidoamine generation 3 (P-G3) can be specifically targeted to either visceral or subcutaneous fat, and affects both types of fat in different ways, researchers from Columbia University reported in two papers recently published. The studies, published online in Nature Nanotechnology on Dec. 1, 2022, and in Biomaterials on Nov. 28, 2022, are both “a conceptual advance” and “quite amenable to translation,” co-corresponding author Kam Leong told BioWorld.
Columbia University has presented non-hallucinogenic ariadne analogues acting as 5-HT2A receptor agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of depression, among other disorders.
In the last decade, responsive neurostimulation (RNS) has become a mainstay of treatment for refractory focal epilepsy, but challenges with the technology remain. Researchers at Columbia University in New York appear to have overcome some of the major limitations through development of a compact, flexible, high performance implantable device that permits reading and manipulation of brain circuits.
