The work has produced neurons transplanted into animals with Parkinson’s have been integrated and produced dopamine, whose deficiency is the basis of these neurodegenerative diseases. A study published online by the journal Nature breaks new ground in research on neurodegenerative diseases through the use of human embryonic stem cells. Researchers from four institutions led by [...]
In the face of sudden changes dictated by environmental cues and states of stress intereferenza cells exploit the RNA to implement rapid change. In the face of sudden changes dictated by environmental cues and states of stress, cells are called upon to make quick decisions. So, in case of crisis – from the greek krisis, [...]
The EU prohibits the use of human embryonic stem cells in drug formulation: The Court of Justice rejects the patent application of a treatment against Parkinson’s disease that involved the use of human embryos.

During phase, trial of the vaccine was successful in 90% of volunteers with AIDS, using the MVA-B virus containing HIV genes 4. Spanish researchers have completed the first clinical trial of a new vaccine against HIV. This vaccine offers great hope to eradicate this scourge forever. The team led by Dr. Mariano Esteban, a researcher [...]
A young Italian team discovered the anti-tumor activity of the mutated gene MTND1 able to block the tumor blood vessels of tumors. Thanks to a study funded by AIRC (Italian Association for Cancer Research), a team of young Italian University of Bologna was able to find a gene that can block tumor growth. The mutant [...]
