Stem-cell therapies might be a hit in Japan
A group of US scientists has injected induced pluripotent stem cells, which are capable of becoming any cell in the body, into patients with Parkinson’s disease. The stem cells were injected to 18 sites across the putamen in both hemispheres, “to roughly fill up that region of the brain”. The stem cells have survived and are safe one year after surgery.
Stem-cell therapies may soon pay off for Japan
A study found that autologous transplantation of iPS-cell-derived DA progenitors is a safe andeffective regenerative therapy for patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Researchers used iPS-cell-derived progenitors, which are made from cells of the person in need of treatment, in a single case study. The results were seen in four individuals for whom those natural cornea-building stem cells had been depleted.
Trump wants to cut funding for PBS and NPR
The White House has said taxpayers have been subsidizing National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), which spread “radical, woke propaganda disguised as ‘news'”. It added that there is “trash” that passes as news and “intolerance of non-leftist viewpoints”. This comes in the wake of a House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee hearing in late March.
Reframe your views on Alzheimer’s disease
Scientists at the University of Antioquia in Medelln and San Francisco’s California University have found that a family member with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) may be protected against Alzheimer’s disease via a combination of model systems. Genetic testing revealed that PSEN1 was not her only mutation gene. The APOE4 gene is a major risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease.
Perspective changes on Alzheimer’s disease
Amyloid-Plasma, Taus and Neurologic inflammation are believed to be the main factors in Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study. The study, published in Nature Communications, revealed that the inflammatory response by the immune system suppresses neuronal function and accelerates the formation of amyloid- plaques and tau. It found that the inflammation is linked to early plaque formation.
Alzheimer’s treatment can be used in the future
Scientists have found that brain tissue of people with Alzheimer’s disease, which had bulging lysosomes spilling waste into the brain, was made to contain shorter amounts of amyloid- plaques. Researchers said this might help reduce the risk of getting Alzheimer’s by changing the balance between short and longer strings of amyloid- plaques. Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative disease that causes memory loss.
He thinks the suggestion to return Abrego Garcia to the US is preposterous
US Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was part of the Oval Office meeting with Salvadoran President Andrés Bukele, said Abrego Garcia’s deportation wasn’t a “paper work issue”. She added that the US’ obligation only extended to providing a plane, but said Garcia was now in Salvadoran custody. Garcia’s lawyers dispute that he is a member of the MS-13 gang.
New insights into an ape’s evolution are given by their long-awaited genomes
Researchers at the University of Vienna claim to have discovered “complete genome” of six ape species. The scientists used a Relativistic Plasma Particle Accelerator (RPPAC) to map the complete genome of the six ape species. They added that their work has provided insights into the evolutionary history of our closest relatives and provided insights into what makes humans human.
A judge has ruled that the man can be deported
Mahmoud Khalil, a 30-year-old US citizen protesting against antisemitism, has been ordered to be deported by an immigration judge. Khalil’s presence in the United States would have “potentially serious adverse foreign consequences and would compromise a compelling US foreign policy interest”, the Department of Homeland Security said. Khalil is one of the three students arrested for protesting against antisemitism at Georgetown University.
The ultrastructure efficiently divides the mouse cortex
Comparing the fraction of cell types targeted by a MET-type was performed using an autoTEM dataset with selectivity index of Layer 6 pyramidal cells to-type. A metric was quantified as the fraction of each sample that was predicted as its final MET assignment out of all predictions. A cell was predicted into this MET-type 80% of the time.
