An American study has allowed us to develop a method to prevent the effects on DNA caused by this rare genetic form of anemia. The Division of Hematology at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, a group of researchers has improved gene therapy against Fanconi anemia. This disease is very rare at [...]

A team of scientists has discovered that a memory rather than a partial memory loss is liable to cause mental confusion in patients with dementia. An international team of scientists has discovered that a memory rather than a partial memory loss is liable to cause mental confusion in patients with dementia. Presented in the journal [...]

In a study by the University of Bologna and a company of New Mexico, it was discovered the genetic profile shared by the two diseases: let’s create a test to detect. Alzheimer’s and heart attack have the same genetic basis and through which we can develop a new test which will indicate whether or not [...]

From a British study has shown that stem cells can repair the damage done to the myelin and cause the onset of multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a serious disease caused by damage to myelin, a substance that surrounds the brain and nerves and spinal cord that modulates the messages transmitted from the brain to [...]

From a U.S. study showed that the disease originates from the entorhinal cortex and then spread into other areas of the brain due to the complex neural network. Alzheimer’s is a disease caused by the formation of aggregates are toxic to neurons in the brain caused by the accumulation of beta amyloid protein that forms [...]

Found that starting from stem cells or embryonic germ induced or you can create cells useful for the treatment of diabetes or other intestinal diseases. At George Town University were conducted two different studies that have led to the discovery that stem cells can be used in the treatment of diabetes. Researchers from the first [...]
