Human enzyme can reduce neurotoxic amyloids in a mouse model of dementia
In most neurodegenerative diseases, misfolded proteins aggregate to form an insoluble clump called amyloid. Many amyloid-forming proteins, including tau in Alzheimer’s disease and alpha-synuclein in Parkinson’s disease, contain the amino
Training changes the way the brain pays attention
After moving to a new city, driving to work on the second or third day may feel very different than it felt on the first day. Over time, drivers will
Night shifts may hinder body’s ability to repair DNA damage
Suppression of the hormone melatonin, which regulates the internal body clock (circadian rhythm) might have a role, the findings suggest. Previous research by the same authors of 223 night shift
Sequencing finds rare genetic disease risk in one out of five healthy adults
Whole-genome sequencing involves evaluating a patient’s DNA to identify risk for genetic conditions and undiagnosed diseases. Many health care systems are moving toward more widespread adoption of clinical sequencing with
Amber warning for the UK’s access to new medicines post Brexit
The EMA is a decentralised agency of the European Union (EU), located in London which is responsible for ensuring that all medicines available on the EU market are safe, effective
Intracranial pathology not necessary for gadolinium deposition in brain tissues
Gadolinium contrast media were introduced as a means of enhancing MRI images in 1988 and are commonly used today. The contrast agent is injected into the patient’s bloodstream and eliminated
Jellyfish fluorescence shines new light on DNA copying
This allowed scientists to watch the molecular machinery of DNA as it replicated inside a cell one molecule at a time. It revealed for the first time that only one
Rapidly mapping the ‘social networks’ of proteins
“The power of this new approach is in the ability we now have to scale it up,” says senior author Joseph Ecker, professor and director of Salk’s Genomic Analysis Laboratory
2-D material’s traits could send electronics R&D spinning in new directions
The material — known as 1T’-WTe2 — bridges two flourishing fields of research: that of so-called 2-D materials, which include monolayer materials such as graphene that behave in different ways
Air pollution casts shadow over solar energy production
According to a new study, airborne particles and their accumulation on solar cells are cutting energy output by more than 25 percent in certain parts of the world. The regions

Computer model simulates sense of touch from the entire hand
The software will allow scientists to see how entire populations of nerve fibers respond when we interact with objects. This model will allow scientists to better understand how the nerve
Microbe mystery solved: What happened to the Deepwater Horizon oil plume?
The team, led by Berkeley Lab microbial ecologist Gary Andersen, is the first to simulate the conditions that occurred in the aftermath of the spill. Their study, “Simulation of Deepwater
Glycans as biomarkers for cancer?
Tumor cells are characterized by an accelerated metabolism with some proteins up- and some downregulated compared to cells in normal healthy tissue. As the quantity and quality of proteins in
