Cell growth is strictly regulated by tumor suppressor genes (TSGs), so that cells divide only when absolutely necessary and then respond to appropriate external signals, such as growth factors. In addition toRead More…
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a monogenic disease with a relatively high prevalence, caused by mutations in the gene encoding the anti-myotonic protein (Dystrophin) on the X chromosome, resulting in the failureRead More…
In a recent clinical study, researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, have pioneered a novel gene therapy that holds the promise of a healthier life for 10 young children whoRead More…
In a recent study, researchers from University College London have developed a new approach to treating neurological and psychiatric disorders that works by reducing the neuronal firing of overactive brain cells. TheRead More…
The human brain mainly receives external information through five senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste, of which at least 80% of external information is obtained through vision. The loss of visionRead More…
