Experimental gene therapy developed by unique For the first time he showed a dramatic slowdown in Huntington’s disease in humans, offering hope for a long -term disease. How the process worked Therapy, called AMT-130It was administered using a one -off neurosurgical procedure lasting between 12 to 20 hours using a modified viral vector to provide […]
In the breakthrough development, scientists in Great Britain reported the first successful treatment of Huntington’s disease, a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder previously considered incurable. Experimental gene therapy, known as AMT-130, slowed the disease’s progression by 75% in three years, offering re-hope to patients and families affected by this condition. What is Huntington’s disease? Huntington’s disease is […]
Scientists from the Duke-Nus Medical School, in cooperation with scientists in Nepal, said that reducing the resistance to Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) can increase the risk of a more severe dengue disease in humans. Published in the journal, the study emphasizes how disappearing protection of the vaccine from one virus may inadvertently affect the body’s […]
Scientists have identified a mechanism with which a joint genetic mutation increases the risk of liver disease. Their findings suggest that healthy choices, such as increasing antioxidants and limiting exposure to smoke, can reduce the risk of this disease. Dehydrogenase 2 (Aldh2) is an important enzyme that detoxifies the harmful aldehydes produced in the body. […]
The new mouse test ensures that women in their reproductive years seem to be relatively protected against chronic kidney disease, which is a leading problem of public health. The study informs that the signaling regulated by estrogen promotes the regeneration of key filter cells in female kidneys. The study also combines pregnancy complications, such as […]
The new ESC clinical statement requires greater awareness of a multidirectional relationship between mental illness and cardiovascular disease to improve patients’ health. The first ESC clinical declaration in history that will be developed on this topic has been published today on ESC Congress 2025. The statement of consensus recommends that the symptoms of mental health […]
New studies have shown that early withdrawal of treatment in patients with rare kidney disease is possible without a recurrence, safer for patients and saves NHS millions of pounds. The unusual urimic hemolytic syndrome (AHUS) is a life -threatening condition caused by a rare defect in an immune system, which in the past led to […]
Metabolic disorders associated with liver steatotic disease (Masld, previously NAFLD) and aging are enclosed in a vicious district: the aging of liver cells accelerates fat accumulation, inflammation and fibrosis, while chronic stresses, in turn, accelerates liver decrease. Up to 38 % of adults around the world have Masld, and the spread, intensity and mortality grow […]
Excessive alcohol consumption causes alcoholic liver disease, and about 20% of these cases develops to fatty fatitis (ASH), which can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure. Early diagnosis and treatment are therefore extremely important. The research team Kaist identified a new molecular mechanism in which alcoholic liver cells increase reactive oxygen forms (ROS), leading to […]
In the last article published in Scientists analyzed whether higher levels of sea microplastics in ocean water near the American coast are associated with the greater occurrence of stroke, coronary artery disease or type 2 diabetes. After adapting local gaps and demographic factors, coastal poviats with a very high level of microplasty had a much […]
