Using CRISPR to introduce beneficial but rare gene mutations in sickle cell

People who suffer from the inherited disease sickle cell disease have defects in their hemoglobin, the blood molecule that transports vital oxygen throughout the body. But a small percentage of patients with the disease have beneficial gene mutations that lessen their symptoms. The mutations switch on a gene that produces fetal hemoglobin—a type of the blood molecule that the body normally stops producing in infancy. The lifelong production of fetal hemoglobin helps shield those sickle cell patients from the worst effects of the disease.

Parkinson’s gene initiates disease outside of the brain

Until very recently, Parkinson's had been thought a disease that starts in the brain, destroying motion centers and resulting in the tremors and loss of movement. New research published this week in the journal Brain, shows the most common Parkinson's gene mutation may change how immune cells react to generic infections like colds, which in turn trigger the inflammatory reaction in the brain that causes Parkinson's. The research offers a new understanding of Parkinson's disease.

Calorie restriction trial in humans suggests benefits for age-related disease

One of the first studies to explore the effects of calorie restriction on humans showed that cutting caloric intake by 15% for 2 years slowed aging and metabolism and protected against age-related disease. The study, which will appear March 22 in the journal Cell Metabolism, found that calorie restriction decreased systemic oxidative stress, which has been tied to age-related neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, as well as cancer, diabetes, and others.

Male birth control pill shows early promise, but will it work?

An attempt to develop a safe and effective "male pill" is making headway, according to preliminary results of a small study. In a four-week trial of men under 50, an experimental hormone-based birth control pill was found to be "well-tolerated."
