Using an epigenetic mechanism, romidepsin restored gene expression and alleviated social deficits in animal models of autism
Have you prepared for all the exhibitions you want to attend in the second quarter of 2018? Ddu, the leading global pharmaceutical & medical device B2B online platform, plans to attend a number of major international pharmaceutical and medical device exhibitions in the second quarter of this year. Here is a summary of each event:
Three people injected with an unauthorized herpes vaccine by a Southern Illinois University researcher have filed suit against his company, demanding compensation for alleged adverse side effects from the experiments.
Biogen (BIIB) today announced new interim Phase 2 results from NURTURE, the ongoing open-label, single-arm study evaluating the efficacy and safety of SPINRAZA® (nusinersen) among pre-symptomatic infants with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). In NURTURE, all infants treated with SPINRAZA were alive, did not require permanent ventilation and showed improvement in motor function and motor milestone achievements as of July 5, 2017, compared to the disease’s natural history. This study, along with a case series demonstrating SPINRAZA’s effectiveness among teens and young adults, will be presented at the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Clinical Conference on March 11-14, 2018, in Arlington, Virginia.
Greater than 90% of all Alzheimer’s disease (AD) cases are sporadic, meaning there are few hereditary risk factors for developing the disease. Although certain genetic variants increase the risk of AD, age is the strongest known risk factor. Yet, understanding how the underlying molecular mechanisms of aging predispose individuals to AD has remained elusive. Now, a team of researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have discovered what they believe are changes to the normal epigenetic landscape that lead to the onset of Alzheimer’s.
With its worldwide impact and mounting death toll, the 2017-2018 influenza season shows that the viral disease isn’t just a fever and the sniffles, but rather a dangerous disease that can spread rapidly between people. That’s why a leading healthcare technology company is pushing forward with trials that can help doctors and medical staff easily identify the disease early in the process through a simple breath test.
It’s flu season, and many of us find ourselves glancing nervously at anyone coughing or sniffling in our vicinity. But how, besides shielding ourselves from public sneezers, do we avoid coming into contact with infections?
Following a soft launch last year, the chemoWave disease companion app has now been fully released for chemotherapy patients interested in better managing their care, symptoms, and side effects.
The nicotine in e-cigarettes seems to damage DNA in ways that may increase cancer risk, a new study in mice suggests.
Surgeons use Microsoft HoloLens headsets while operating on patients undergoing reconstructive lower limb surgery.
