Genetic cause found for rare neurological disease
The progressive neurological disease known as spinocerebellar ataxia 4 (SCA4) is a rare movement disorder with no known cure and, until recently, no known cause.
One-two punch treatment knocks out acute myeloid leukaemia
Researchers paired venetoclax, a current standard-of-care anticancer drug for acute myeloid leukaemia, with a STING agonist, an emerging class of immunotherapy drug.
Creating self-assembling capsules for drug delivery
Scientists have created nanosized capsules that could be used to deliver drugs and messenger RNA (mRNA), a molecule that instructs cells to produce proteins.
Researchers find the 'switch' that deactivates brown fat
Researchers have found a protein that is responsible for turning off brown fat activity, in a breakthrough which could help to address obesity and related health problems.
