Hypothalamic Stem Cells Could Provide New Insights Into Aging
Futurism The hypothalamus is the region of the brain that helps to regulate internal conditions like body temperature and blood concentration, but new research shows that it may fail us as we age. The research indicates that as the hypothalamus’s stem cells die … |

Gene therapy helps dogs with muscle dystrophy, humans next?
Jamaica Observer PARIS, France (AFP) — Researchers have used gene editing to reverse symptoms in dogs of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) — a muscle-wasting and life-shortening disease that affects one in 5,000 baby boys. The dogs’ symptoms remained in check … |
