01/5An unknown group of cells that accelerate ageing identified A group of scientists from China have identified the cells that speed up ageing process. As per an unedited paper published by the peer-reviewed journal Nature on October 31, these cells surrounds the motor neurons in the spinal cord and are responsible for Parkinsonian gait, a...
Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLMOct 24 2023 A new research paper was published in Oncotarget’s Volume 14 on October 19, 2023, entitled, “Apoptotic cells may drive cell death in hair follicles during their regression cycle.” Intravital microscopy in live mice has shown that the elimination of epithelial cells during hair follicle regression involves supra-basal cell...
Genetic analysis of psoriasis shows somatic mutations are not linked to the development or the spread of the condition.Peer-Reviewed Publication WELLCOME TRUST SANGER INSTITUTE Psoriasis — a chronic skin condition — is not caused or spread by spontaneous genetic mutations in the skin, new research suggests. The team, from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and collaborators,...
Phase 3 trial of supplement proposed, new diagnostic tool to be validated.Peer-Reviewed Publication UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA University of Alberta researchers have identified an amino acid that may play a key role in predicting poor clinical outcomes and the treatment of long COVID. In research published today in Cell Reports Medicine, the team says it has...
