LONDON – Signs of neurodegeneration in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease can be halted with a compound that can be taken by mouth, a new study has shown.
LONDON – It is now possible to measure the activity of a multitude of genes in thousands of cells at once. The new method means that researchers will be able to rapidly detect differences in gene activity among the many cells of a tumor, for example, or among those of a tissue, whether healthy or diseased.

LONDON – A new understanding of how the neural circuits in the brain alter following exposure to addictive drugs such as cocaine could allow researchers to identify targets for drugs to treat addiction.

LONDON – A protein that has a role in causing the most frequent form of inherited mental retardation has turned out to be a master regulator of a large group of molecules involved in cancer progression and metastasis.

LONDON – The prospects for new drugs to treat cystic fibrosis have improved, following a project to screen thousands of genes to determine which of their protein products affects the function of a molecular sodium channel found on cell membranes.

LONDON – Delivering synthetic messenger RNA that encodes the right growth factor directly to the heart muscle shortly after a heart attack can induce heart stem cells to divide and mature into new blood vessels, a new study has shown. Mice treated in that way showed a long-term increase in survival.
