Japanese researchers have identified a potent novel enhancer of neural stem cells (NSCs) and, hence, neurogenesis, with its prenatal administration having been shown to normalize both brain structure and function in mouse models of Down syndrome.
The implantation of dopaminergic neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has for the first time been shown to restore nerve function and improve movement in monkey models of Parkinson's disease (PD), in a new Japanese study.

A study reported Aug. 14, 2017 in Nature Cell Biology has identified a nuclear factor involved in brown fat metabolism that contributes to the pathophysiology of obesity in humans, which could lead to the development of new brown fat-targeted anti-obesity therapies.
The latest study by the Functional Annotation of the Mammalian genome (FANTOM) group, an international consortium led by Japan's RIKEN Institute, has compiled the first extensive atlas of microRNA expression in human primary cells, which could help development of new cancer treatments.
