Scientists have developed a nanoparticle-based treatment that successfully reversed Alzheimer’s disease in mice. As detailed in a new paper published in the journal Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, the team co-led by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia, Spain (IBEC), and West China Hospital, Sichuan University, developed bioactive “supramolecular drugs” that can proactively repair the blood-brain barrier. The barrier plays …

Co-authors of the study from the Biological Barriers Research Group of the Institute of Biophysics N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a potent psychoactive molecule present in the brain and much of the world’s plant life, but it also may be able to save humans from damage in the event of a stroke. Scientists in Hungary used it to reduce the harmful effects …

Institute of Biomedical Problems When humanity ventures out into the final frontier, we won’t be alone. I’m not talking about extraterrestrial life, but the Earth-based life that we’ll bring with us. Russia returned a research satellite last week that was carrying 75 mice, over 1,500 flies, microorganisms, plant seeds and cell cultures. …

Scientists on Tuesday reported that they had reversed Alzheimer’s disease in mice, a feat that offers hope of a potential cure for the devastating form of dementia in humans. In a paper published Tuesday in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, a team of researchers describe how, by harnessing the brain’s garbage disposal system, they managed to repair the brain and …

They came from outer space: 75 mice, over 1,500 flies, cell cultures, microorganisms, plant seeds and more. A Russian biological research satellite toting more than 30 experiments landed on Sept. 19 in the steppes of the Orenburg region after spending 30 days in Earth orbit. The Bion-M No. 2 descent module has been called a “Noah’s Ark” due to the …

Brain damage caused by blocked blood vessels may be treatable using injections of stem cells, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Zurich and the University of Southern California. The results could one day help patients who have experienced some forms of stroke recover lost functions. Using mice with stroke-induced brain damage, the researchers found that …

Over the past 40 years, Dr. Timothy Lepore has been the emergency room head, sole surgeon and medical examiner on Nantucket, a small island off Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Today he runs the only private practice, where he treats dozens of patients with Lyme disease each year. About 15% of residents on the island have been afflicted with the disease, which …
