NewsAlzheimer’s brain structure investigated through fruit flies
Scientists have used fruit flies to study 100 genes linked to Alzheimer’s disease and how these genes affect brain structure, function and stress resilience. The research could help guide new treatments in the future.
-
NewsNew mRNA therapy could inform future male infertility treatments
Scientists have restored sperm production in mice with a genetic form of male infertility using mRNA delivered via lipid nanoparticles, with the hope of informing future treatments for non-obstructive azoospermia.

NewsSlc4a4 restores normal brain function after ischemic stroke
Researchers have elucidated how Slc4a4 governs astrocyte-endothelial cell interaction in blood-brain barrier maintenance and repair.
-
NewsERRγ controls parietal cells generation and maturation from stem cells
Researchers uncover a genetic pathway of parietal cell development, which will enable a better understanding of stomach conditions.
-
NewsHow hematopoietic stem cells retain their regenerative potential
Researchers found that genetic depletion of cyclophilin A results in stem cells distinctively lacking intrinsically disordered proteins.
-
NewsA promising new treatment strategy for hepatoblastoma
A combination therapy of vincristine, irinotecan and panobinostat, tested in high-risk, relapsed or refractory HB spheroids, decreased tumour marker levels.
