Acting in mechanisms of aging to delay/prevent Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a severely debilitating and ultimately fatal brain disorder, affects millions worldwide. To date, clinical efforts to find a cure or adequate treatment have met with dispiriting failure. The disease is now on an ominous
How does your brain control interference from irrelevant information?
Given the continuous flux of visual information that competes for our attention in the everyday world, some form of attentional selection is needed to allow us to focus on what is relevant and ignore distracting information. This
New findings with therapeutic benefit in organ transplantation
Knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of cell death and understanding their fundamental role in a wide range of human diseases including myocardial infarction, stroke, sepsis, neurodegeneration, cancer, and organ graft ischemia-reperfusion injury, among others, is of major
What is a SERM and how does it work?
Estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ) are nuclear receptors that function as ligand-dependent transcription factors. They play a vital role in many physiological functions such as the development and differentiation of the reproductive tract and mammary gland. They
A new approach to improving the nutritional profile of fats in food products
Solids fats such as butter, shortening, or hydrogenated vegetable oils are a ubiquitous component of foods which contain a significant portion of liquid oil structured by a high-melting fraction, or “hardstock”. Fats contribute to many of the
Biodegradable microparticles used to prolong drug release to inhibit inflammation in osteoarthritis
Articular cartilage is located on the surfaces of the bones in the synovial joint. It protects the underlying bones from damage and shock, but also functions as a lubricant for frictionless movements of the human body. Damage
