How Feedback Mechanisms Control Neural Chaos for Stable Visual Processing

What we see appears stable, even though neuronal activity is full of irregular fluctuations. A team led by Dr Mehdi Borjkhani from ICTER has shown, using a minimal model of the primary visual cortex, that two natural feedback mechanisms can constrain chaos and reduce variability in neural activity by up to 93 percent.

Strength Training Induces Fat Breakdown in Obese Mice Without Weight Loss

Just seven days of strength training increased visceral fat burning in obese mice, even before any weight loss could be seen on a scale. In an experiment conducted at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), researchers observed that a short period of strength training activated mechanisms involved in fat breakdown, reduced fat cell size, and decreased fat around the animals' intestines.

Researchers Identify Peptide That Counters Key Processes of Neurodegenerative Disorders

Alzheimer's disease and related neurodegenerative disorders are among medicine's most challenging conditions, progressively impairing memory, movement and independence. Now, researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have identified a naturally occurring peptide - a small protein fragment called catestatin (CST) - that may help counter several key processes driving neurodegeneration.

UCLA Team Develops Advanced Immunotherapy to Fight Dangerous Arterial Plaques

A UCLA research team has engineered a new type of immune cell that attacks atherosclerotic plaques — the fatty buildup inside artery walls that drives most heart attacks and strokes.

KAIST Researchers Develop NUDGE to Steer Cell States Without Permanent Alteration

Which genes need to be controlled to guide a stem cell toward a desired cell type, or to modulate an immune cell's inflammatory response? A Korean research team has developed a general-purpose computational framework that identifies the key targets needed to steer a cell toward a desired state with a single temporary intervention, without permanently altering its genes.

Breakthrough Study Explains Developmental Origins of the Human Brain

For centuries, scientists have thought of the brain as a single, unified organ. But new research led by Stanford Medicine reveals that what we call the brain is two distinct organs that evolved independently over hundreds of millions of years.

Novel Base-Editing Approach Shows Promise for Inherited Motor Neuron Disorders

A team of researchers led by Professor Haruhisa Inoue (Center for iPS Cell Research and Application, Kyoto University) and Professor Yuishin Izumi (Tokushima University) demonstrated that adenine base editing can correct a disease-causing genetic mutation and alleviate neurodegeneration in hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy with proximal dominant involvement (HMSN-P), providing proof of concept for a precision gene therapy for inherited motor neuron diseases.

New Research Reveals Complex Protein Dynamics Within Human Red Blood Cells

They account for nearly 83% of all cells in the human body, yet red blood cells are often portrayed as little more than bags of hemoglobin ferrying oxygen from the lungs to the heart and beyond. But new research from the University of Colorado Anschutz reveals that they are vastly more complex with far reaching consequences for health, exercise and fitness.
