The stability of tRNA molecular conformation together with genome translation efficiency depend on this modification. Many diseases including neurological disorders and tumors result from defective tRNA methylation. ...
The Importance of HA-c Research using HA-c has illuminated several key aspects of cerebellar function and its involvement in neurological diseases. These astrocytes maintain the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, regulate neurotransmitter levels, and provide metabolic support to neurons. ...
They are implicated in a wide range of conditions, from cardiovascular and metabolic disorders to neurological diseases and cancers. By facilitating the early stages of the drug development pipeline, GPCR Screening Services help streamline the identification of lead compounds, optimizing the chances of successful therapeutic outcomes. ...
In addition, peptidomimetics can disrupt or potentiate interactions between proteins, which may be useful in the treatment of related diseases. In terms of targeted drug delivery, peptidomimetics can achieve target specific cells or tissues in the body. When peptidomimetics are conjugated with targeted antibodies or ligands, they can deliver drugs by selectively getting into ...
These engineered antibodies have become invaluable tools in the fight against a wide range of diseases, from cancer and autoimmune disorders to infectious diseases and neurological conditions. ...
Candidate drugs like ARV110 and ARV-471 have entered Phase I/II clinical trials, indicating the potential of PROTACs in the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The high selectivity, resistance-overcoming capabilities, and ability to target previously undruggable proteins make PROTACs effective in various diseases, including neurological ...
It contributes extensively to the understanding of the physiological function of ionic channels in health and disease. From exploring their roles in some neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases to electrolyte imbalance—it's a resourceful tool. ...
Researchers are also developing TPD drugs to treat other types of diseases. Neurological diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), are often considered "incurable" because conventional small molecules cannot interfere with the function of disease-associated proteins. In a recent study conducted by a research ...
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 ...
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, ...
Many people think that Alzheimer’s disease is a normal part of aging, it isn’t. It is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that we believe can be slowed, stopped, and hopefully, prevented. ...
Thereby, those changes include DNA methylation, histone modifications and non-coding RNAs. affects gene regulation. Diseases And Epigenetic Modifications The occurrence of some diseases has been found to be inextricably linked to epigenetics. ...
The SIAP study investigates the effect of using Ergotrics' Inflatable Prone Support (IPS) on intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) during spine surgery. Study background The objective of this study is to demonstrate the ability of the inflatable Prone Supports (IPS) to lower the IAP of patients in the prone position. Whenever the patients’ position is changed to prone, the IAP is increased due to ...
Meditation is often thought of as an avenue to clarity and self-awareness, but it may also be an avenue to better brain health. Emerging research suggests meditation may have significant benefits to brain health, ranging from improved mental and behavioral health to enhanced cognitive function. In this article, we will break down how meditation helps the brain and provide helpful tips for ...
Many neurological diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, can be thought of as continuums, whether the presence and manifestation of the disease are different depending on the stage of the disease. In this article, we provide a high-level overview of the stages in the Alzheimer's disease ...
There is no such thing as unimportant, or non-eloquent, brain. For decades, neuroscientists and clinicians have studied the brain attempting to pinpoint the regions that control specific functions. This is the age old question of ‘What part of the brain is responsible for ___?’ For clinicians, this assists in determining where the source of certain disorders may originate and ...
In addition to the pandemic, the digitization of healthcare is rapidly shifting clinical trials from analog to hybrid or fully decentralized clinical trials, catalyzing the development and implementation of digital health technologies to support clinical research. Digital endpoints not only support the decentralization of clinical trials but also provide a means to collect more sensitive, ...
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease are both neurological diseases that cause progressive damage to the brain, resulting in a decline in neurocognitive function. While Parkinson’s disease is known for affecting movement and function and Alzheimer’s disease is known for affecting cognition, ...
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is most commonly known for affecting movement. It primarily impacts dopaminergic, or dopamine-producing, neurons in a specific area of the brain known as the substantia nigra. Typically, symptoms develop slowly over years and continue to worsen as the disease progresses. While the manifestation of symptoms tends to vary ...
It is no secret that glucose, a form of sugar, is the main source of energy for every cell in our bodies, including our brain cells. Because the brain is packed with neurons, it uses more energy than any other organ in the body. Our brains reward us for consuming sugar. Whether you are eating a delicious meal, sharing a kiss with someone you love, or enjoying a sugary treat, the mesolimbic ...
