For a third of patients with epilepsy, medication does not provide a solution. Discover how advanced surgical methods and innovative implantable devices such as RNS and DBS offer new hope and open the way to a seizure-free life, even when conventional treatment proves unsuccessful.
UCSF researchers, led by With Davide Rugger, they discovered a revolutionary way to fight cancer by targeting the MYC protein. Instead of genes, the focus is on blocking protein synthesis, which paves the way for new drugs for glioblastoma and other tumors. The combination of therapy and keto diet has shown that it is possible to "starve" pancreatic cancer.
By analyzing decades of data from the European Space Agency's CryoSat satellite, scientists have discovered 85 previously unknown subglacial lakes under the ice of Antarctica. This discovery of a dynamic water system is key to understanding the stability of the ice sheet and improving projections of global sea level rise.
Being in space causes aging-like symptoms, such as loss of muscle mass and bone density. New research from the European Space Agency (ESA) dives into the cellular level to find out why this is happening. Although cells in microgravity behave as if they are aging, the key lies in disrupted cellular communication rather than irreversible damage.
Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have developed an innovative method to differentiate dementias. Using industrial dyes that bind to specific tau protein clusters opens the way to early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, offering new hope to patients.
Revolutionary research by MIT engineer Crystal Owens reveals how 'mechanical memory' and residual stress affect the durability of products like gels and creams. A new measurement method using a rheometer promises more stable products and longer-lasting roads, changing the approach to quality control in the industry
