Ampakines Reverse Memory Loss in Huntington's Disease
A new study has demonstrated the extraordinary reversal of memory loss in an animal model of Huntington's disease using a unique class of agents known as ampakines. More..

Mouse Bladder Cancer Model Lacks Tumor Suppressor Genes
Cancer researchers have genetically engineered a line of mice to serve as a model of human bladder cancer through the combined deletion of the p53 and PTEN tumor suppressor genes from the animals' bladder epithelial cells. More..

Potential Cancer-Causing Genes Removed from Engineered Stem Cells
Researchers have developed an innovative method of removing potential cancer-causing genes during the reprogramming of skin cells from Parkinson's disease patients into an embryonic-stem-cell-like state. More..

Potential Inhibitor of the Myc Oncogene Identified
Researchers seeking to understand the molecular factors that cause normal cells to become cancerous have found that transformation induced by the activity of the Myc oncogene can be inhibited by the action of a potential tumor suppressor gene called brain acid-soluble protein 1. More..

Dynamic Data Collection System Devised for Healthcare Concept Tests
A new dynamic data collection solution has been developed that allows researchers to quickly test concepts with physicians across a range of specialty segments globally. More..
