Toxic Aggregates Shunted from Neurons to Microglia via Nanotubes
A clearance mechanism involving microglia has been known to relieve neurons of toxic protein aggregates such as those associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, this mechanism hasn’t been understood very well, certainly...
StockWatch: Phase III Data for Pfizer-Partnered Hemophilia A Gene Therapy Lifts Sangamo Shares
Nearly a year since Sangamo Therapeutics (SGMO) stock price plunged below $1 a share, the genetic medicines developer very briefly returned to that benchmark on Friday, two days after joining partner Pfizer (PFE) to...
SandboxAQ Taps Nvidia to Boost its Quantitative AI for Drug Discovery, Other Industries
SandboxAQ has announced a collaboration with Nvidia to combine its large quantitative models (LQMs) with the Nvidia CUDA-accelerated Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) algorithm. According to SandboxAQ, the combined technologies will make it possible...
Overcoming cancer relapse with CAR-Enhancer therapy
Even as they have revolutionized the treatment of certain forms of cancer, CAR T-cell therapies have been shadowed by a significant limitation: many patients, including those whose cancer goes into full remission, eventually relapse....
Insilico Medicine’s PandaOmics Box enhances drug discovery with advanced AI capabilities
The development of innovative medicines is an expensive, time-consuming and risky business. On average, it usually takes at least a decade and billions of dollars to bring a new drug from project initiation to...
A new therapeutic target offers a promising pathway for multiple sclerosis treatment
Fukuoka, Japan – Researchers from Kyushu University have identified a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of advanced multiple sclerosis (MS), a potentially disabling condition associated with the central nervous system. In their latest...
Epigenetic State Determines Which Neurons Are Selected for Memory Formation in Mice
When a new memory forms the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a “memory trace.” This memory trace represents the specific patterns of neuronal activity and structural modifications that occur when...
Timing matters: Scripps Research study shows ways to improve health alerts
LA JOLLA, CA—When seemingly healthy people receive an alert from a wearable sensor telling them they might have a respiratory virus—based on small changes in their unique heartrate, sleep and activity patterns—what do they...
