A new study on substance abuse disorders highlights an existing connection between specific neurons and peripheral organs.
New study could lead to diabetes treatment with fewer side effects
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania may have discovered how to eliminate the risk of weight gain from certain diabetes medications by uncovering the difference between two varieties of a protein.
“Monumental” step in using human iPSCs towards treating complication of diabetes
A new study led by the Indiana University School of Medicine showed human induced pluripotent stem cells can improve visual acuity, vascular health and other complications related to type 2 diabetes.
Milestone reached in search of vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus
A new study has showed how a bioengineered RSV protein vaccine can induce a protective immune response in animal models.
Discovery could advance CAR T-cell therapy
