The new broad-spectrum method targets physical properties in the genome of the virus rather than viral proteins, which have previously been targeted. The treatment consists of new molecules that penetrate the protein s
Visual dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a feature of Alzheimer's disease. Yet the molecular basis of retinal changes had remained poorly defined, and no previous study has compared retinal and brain proteomes from the same individuals. Now, a study from MultiPark has mapped the proteins that are altered in the disease. The discoveries were recently published in Acta Neuropathologica. In a

A new study led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, reveals that melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, can in some cases be driven by mitochondrial processes, which can be effectively targeted using existing drugs. In preclinical laboratory experiments with melanoma cell cultures, researchers successfully eliminated cancer cells by using antibiotics and inhibitors of mitochondrial

New research from Lund University, Sweden, has shown for the first time that chimpanzees catch yawns from humans, and that the susceptibility to contagious yawning develops gradually with age – just like it does in humans. While juvenile chimpanzees (5-8 years of age) catch human yawns, infant chimpanzees seem immune

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Arctic climate change research relies on field measurements and samples that are too scarce, and patchy at best. The researchers in the BECC action group looked at thousands of scientific studies, and found that around 30% of cited studies were clustered around only two research stations in the vast Arctic region.
