Evaluation of Anti-Stroke Drugs
Stroke, also known as transient ischemic attack or cerebrovascular accident, is an acute brain disease. Usually, a sudden rupture of a blood vessel in the brain or a blockage of a blood vessel that prevents blood from flowing to the brain can cause damage to brain tissue, resulting in a stroke. Long-term strokes can lead to brain damage, disability and even death. The brain serves as a ...

Nanobodies Definition, Structure, Advantages and Applications
What is a Nanobody?Nanobodies are the smallest functional single-domain antibodies known to be able to stably bind to antigens, and have unique structural and functional advantages. The molecular weight of nanobodies is only 12-15 kDa, which retains the antigen binding ability of traditional antibodies. However, nanobodies have higher solubility and stability, and have unique advantages in ...

Construction and Culture Protocol of Neural Stem Cells Protocol
Because neural stem cells (NSCs) have the potential of self-renewal and multidirectional differentiation, the method of suspended neural bulb culture can be used to obtain and study. After processing the embryonic brain tissue into a single cell, only the cells with the ability of self-renewal can be cloned and proliferated into a suspended nerve ball in the culture medium, and with the progress ...

FDA Approved Peptide Drugs in the First Half of 2023
The FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) regulatory approval of a total of 26 NME (New Molecular Entity) drugs in the first half of 2023. It is worth noting that the 26 drugs approved include 4 peptide drugs, accounting for 15% of the total. In the past 2022, the FDA has approved only three peptide drugs: Tirzepatide, Lutetium 177Lu Vipivotide Tetraxetan and Terlipressin, of which ...

CADM: A New Generation of Tumor Suppressor Genes
About Tumor Suppressor Genes A tumor suppressor gene, also known as anti-onco gene, is an essential component of the body's defense against cancer. It usually facilitates apoptosis. With its absence, the human body will be functioning without its “brake” of cell proliferation. Cells are potent to go under abnormal growth processes and finally lead to tumor/cancer. Here are some key ...

Amplicon Sequencing Technology Unveils the Enigmas of Microbial Populations
Amplicon sequencing is a cutting-edge technique that involves sequencing PCR products or captured fragments of specific lengths, enabling the analysis of sequence variations. Among the diverse applications of this technology, the 16S rRNA gene has emerged as a fundamental tool for sequence-based bacterial analysis, boasting decades of significance. The process of 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing ...

New Approach to Successfully Purify and Characterize Human Neural Stem Cells
Human brain has approximately 171 billion cells, of which slightly more than half (approximately 86 billion) are nerve cells. These 86 billion nerve cells are a diverse cell population with hundreds of specialized types and functions, but all originate from three neural cell lineages--neurons, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes. All three cell lineages originate from a pool of neural stem and ...

How technology can help with future success
Do you ever feel like your life is chaotic? Life can feel very busy and fast-paced, and there’s always something that easily grabs our attention and distracts us from what we’re doing. Today we receive so many alerts, messages, emails, and phone calls; it’s no wonder why we see so many people glued to their smartphones. In fact, I am sure you may have noticed people walking ...

Glucose metabolism: key to neurodegenerative diseases
Previously, it was thought that glial cells, which support neuronal activity, metabolize most of the glucose in the brain. However, by using induced pluripotent stem cells, the researchers found that neurons were able to take up glucose and process it into smaller metabolites. In mice, normal function of neurons depends on glycolysis. The findings could help develop new treatments for ...

It turns out that p53 is destroyed in a whole new way
Glioblastoma is a deadly brain cancer with a dire prognosis. Unlike most cancers, it still grows in the presence of the p53 protein. Scientists have been unable to solve the case for decades...until now. CSHL scientists have discovered that a protein called BRD8 goes out of control in glioblastoma, paralyzing P53. The discovery could help turn this deadly cancer into a treatable disease. Brain ...

SpinTech MRI Earns FDA 510(k) Clearance for Rapid, Quantitative Brain-Imaging Technology
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given 510(k) clearance to SpinTech MRI’s latest magnetic resonance imaging software device, STAGE (STrategically Acquired Gradient Echo), a post-processing software platform that enables comprehensive, quantitative brain imaging with enhanced visualization in significantly less time than conventional approaches. STAGE allows MRI ...

Do you really have to sacrifice MRI image quality for speed?
To understand the significance of the SpinTech MRI STAGE software platform, it helps to begin by asking a question: Given that MRI is an incredibly powerful diagnostic tool for neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis (MS), why have radiologists and neurologists had to choose between conducting faster MRI exams and obtaining higher-quality ...

FDA Approved ALK Inhibitors for ALK-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is a major type of cancer in the world, with the highest morbidity and mortality among all malignant tumors. ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (ALK+ NSCLC) is a relatively rare and dangerous subtype, with patients suffering from a high incidence rate of brain metastases. Statistics show that about 55% of ALK-positive advanced NSCLC patients will develop brain metastases during ...

How Is Frontotemporal Dementia Different From Alzheimer`s?
People living with frontotemporal dementia, or FTD, are commonly misdiagnosed with psychiatric disorders or Alzheimer’s disease and other causes of dementia, such as Parkinson’s disease and vascular dementia. While frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer’s disease can both cause dementia, there are distinct differences in impacted regions of the brain and, consequently, ...

Health Mythbusting: Does eating turkey really make you tired?
This holiday season, Americans will consume around 87 million turkeys. And after they gobble down their turkey dinners, they might experience post-meal sleepiness. Often, people blame turkey as the cause. But does turkey actually make you tired? Why? What's in it? And what other factors are at play? In today’s article, we’ll break down the health myth of whether eating ...

Nature: Why do you just want to lie down when you get sick?
When we feel uncomfortable, we tend to eat less, drink less, and exercise less. This is not unique to humans—most animals reduce these three behaviors when fighting infection. Recently, a new study pinpoints clusters of neurons that control these responses (uncomfortable behavior). By provoking immune responses in mice, the researchers demonstrated that specific cell populations in the ...
