Different Parkinson’s-related brain disorders, called synucleinopathies, are characterized by misfolded proteins embedded in cells. New research suggests that relationships between cell type and the pathological protein may dictate how the disease progresses.

Pharmaceuticals owe their effects mostly to their chemical composition, but the packaging of these drugs into specific physical formulations also need to be done to exact specifications. Engineers have now developed a microfluidic system where more than ten thousand devices run in parallel, all on a silicon-and-glass chip that can fit into a shirt pocket.

Scientists have figured out how nutmeg helps other organs, specifically the liver.

On April 26, 2018, the Girls’Day, intended to support schoolgirls with their professional orientation, took place again nationwide in Germany.

Protagen AG has announced the start of a collaboration with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to utilize Protagen’s SeroTag® technology to investigate the immuno-profiling of prostate cancer patients treated with checkpoint inhibitors and therapeutic vaccines.

SYGNIS AG has announced the completion of the acquisition of TGR Biosciences, the Australian research reagents company.

Researchers tissue-engineered human pancreatic islets in a laboratory that develop a circulatory system, secrete hormones like insulin and successfully treat sudden-onset type 1 diabetes in transplanted mice.

When DNA isn't needed, cells can mark it as such. These tags are called DNA methylation. Now, scientists have discovered a family of proteins that control how these marks are added.

For people who have hypertension and certain other conditions, eating too much salt raises blood pressure and increases the likelihood of heart complications. To help monitor salt intake, researchers have developed a flexible and stretchable wireless sensing system designed to be comfortably worn in the mouth to measure the amount of sodium a person consumes.

Researchers have used machine learning algorithms to spot patterns within communities of bacteria living in the human gut that could predict cholera infection.
